LED Tubes at Costco – Died after 11 months

One of my LED light tubes died after 11 months. It’s supposed to last 45 years. It didn’t even make 1 year. I guess it happens.

I took it back the next day (Costco handled it no problem) – and I bought the same pair as a replacement. I hope they last 45 years as they promise. This was a little hassle (a waste of my time), but I was glad I bought them from Costco. Imagine if I bought them from elsewhere, or an online store, etc.. then I’ll have to package them and ship them back??? I avoided a major hassle because I shopped at Costco.

Buying a defective item is something you cannot avoid. It’s nobody’s fault.

Below is my blog from 11 months ago – about the light tube.

This irritates me. Did he mean November 2004? or April 2011 ?
