I wonder about that too. I think it can’t get any worse than the stock LED that originally comes with the flood light.
On a side note, I have retrofitted a 20w (in a 20w casing) and have it sit on my desk running 8-16 hours a day in a tropical climate for 9 months now. The light hasn’t seem to fade much from when it was first run.
Did seller provide you with the continuous (i.e. every 30 minutes) data for the first 100 hours of those led’s ? What kind of bond wire they are using ? The fill is silicone or epoxy based ?
It’s telling the guy who has ben buying in China 250k bulb’s and flood lamps per month… ;). The big COB are the easiest for small batch production, but the trickiest for long time usage.
However, the reflector and lens like this one can be a little tricky to install, since my LED won’t have any holes (like the generic 100w ones) matching the prongs of these reflectors.
