Default LA19DM/LED failed


One of my 40w LED lamps failed last week.
Shop Utilitech 40-Watt Equivalent Indoor Warm White LED Light Bulb at Lowes.com

Amazon.com: LED 40 Watt Equivalent 7.5 Watt 430 Lumen A19 Dimmable Light Bulb 3000K: Home & Kitchen

It was in the desk lamp that's plugged into my PC's Smart Strip (a prize from Ecorenovator)
The Smart Strip switches the power to the lamp off and on dozens of times during each day..
Maybe the LED PS can't take that kind of hammering??
None of my other A19 LED lamps have failed.. Yet..
(I own a dozen, and 7 are LA19DM/LED blubs).

The LA19DM/LED has a 2 year store replacement warranty printed
on it's plastic box, so I saved a couple (with the receipt), just in case..

Lowes gave my wife a refund and she purchased a new one for $12.
