Harbor Freight...
Just had a burn out last night. How long do the 12 volt light bulbs last from those Harbor Freight solar panel kits? Almost 4 years. 84,90,67,0,B
This bulb was turned on about 4 hours every night since it was installed. It started to noticeably dim about a month ago. From what I understand, LEDs last a lot longer than compact fluorescents. I have been using these bulbs because they were included with the Harbor Freight solar panel kits I bought when I first came out here. This is the last one. When this one goes, I will make the switch to LEDs.
Amazing.
ReplyDeleteHow often was it used?
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty good. Just wandering how long led lights last. Do you use led.
