What have you witnessed or seen that would sound like a conspiracy theory if someone else told you? (feddit.de)

Oh. Huh. Gotta say, I wasn't expecting to encounter anyone who had good experience with those bulbs.

That... blows a hole in my theory.

I still don't regret the cheap, foreign light bulbs I got off of eBay (best LEDs I've bought thus far)... but maybe my family and I have just been unlucky with name brand LEDs.

If you're using the power switch on the wall to turn on and off your hue bulbs they will die ultra quick. Use Zigbee to turn them on and off and they will last a LONG time. I buried my wall switches with blank plates when I set up my system.

I don't think they were hue bulbs. I think they were just regular LED light fixture bulbs.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah I had a free home inspection for heating and cooling efficiency and the guy gave me a bunch of LEDs that he had to give to the old boomers still running incandescent. I don't think any of them lasted longer than a year. I stopped using Hue whites in lieu of Zwave wall switches so I don't have to worry about either anymore thankfully.
