These bulbs are not economical at all because I have to constantly replace them. Saving on electricity does not justify these expensive bulbs burning out in less than a year. The only two that have lasted are in my range hood for light above my stove. Those experience extreme heat and yet they are fine. I have had to replace 2 light fixtures that have permanent LEDs and no replaceable parts too.
The first LED I bought is about 7 years old at this point, so that tracks. I was being hyperbolic when i said “forever”, they aren’t designed to last literally forever, i just meant many many many years
