re: #381 Belafon

There was a dad of one of the kids my oldest had karate with who said he never paid for light bulbs. He would record when he started using a bulb, and when it went out, and then would go to the store arguing that the bulb hadn’t lasted as long as it should have based on the numbers on the box. I don’t think he knew all that much about statistics, but the customer service people at the store did not.

I feel like I should do this. When I bought my house six years ago I replaced all of the bulbs I could with LEDs and thought It would be a decade before I had to replace any of them. 6 years in and I have had to replace more than half of them and some of those I had to replace in the first year. For the average lifetime to work out the remaining ones will all have to last another 20+ years.
