I recently put new bulbs into my bathroom vanity light bar. They are GE soft white LED G25 60W equivalent frosted bulbs.
The first one developed dark patches as soon as I screwed it in. I thought maybe that was because I did not turn off the wall switch when I was installing it, as well as holding it with my bare hand. So with the next bulb I turned off the power and also held the bulb in a cloth as I screwed it in. It still has some dark patches on it, although much fainter than the other bulb.
Are the bulbs defective or am I doing something wrong?
I’ve heard that excess soldering flux can produce smoke that forms cloudy spots on a flashlight lens or reflector. Perhaps these bulbs were sloppily assembled.
It’s disappointing that a lightbulb designed for use in fixtures where the bulb is purposely visible would immediately become unsightly. That would bother me every time I entered the bathroom.
they are quickly collecting darkons.
if you ever break these bulbs the darkons will be released.
and the photons from all your flashlights will not be enough to offset them!
