so far I have used Philips, Ikea, GeeEee and Cree. I luv Cree the most, with GeeEee ranking at the bottom of my "like" list. I got those 40W equivalent Cree LEDs from home Deport before they jacked up their pricing. As for Philips: we got local untility rebates for them so 60Watts equivalent works out to 9.95CAD/ea. Those Ikeas I bought 40Watters are really good as far as colour rendition's concerned (truly around 2700k), but one of the 2 I bought has a faint buzz...

I'm still using CFLs in my house ( I got 26pot lights throughout the entire house so I cannot replace them all with LEDs), and some I managed to squeeze over 7k hours out of them before the film cap burned out (those darn mylar film caps, don't trust them at all).

Q.
