So, I have been trying to knock down my honey-do-list this year, as per the deal i made with the GF. Yesterday i was in the hardware store returning a bunch of plumbing fittings I didn't actually use, and I decided to pick up a bulb or two for the girls' ceiling fan. When we first moved into the house two years ago, i replaced all the lights with energy saving fluorescent bulbs. Well, i have noticed that the LED bulbs are getting more & more common, so I decided to grab one, and give it a try.
Got home, and tried the new bulb. It was very nice, instant on, brighter, and only 4.5watts! I was thinking this is going to work nicely for some of our heavily used lights.

Ten minutes later, it died.
Not sure if i'm going to exchange it or just get my money back.
Has anyone else tried these new LED bulbs, and what is your experience with them?
