Ah, okay, that might not work for you then. I'm sure other stores offer a guarantee as well though. Just check that out before choosing a brand. The light bulbs we bought are guaranteed (but I forget for how long... I know it's years). There you go. One year isn't bad. It's much better than other types of lights (if they are even guaranteed). I figure that I used to have to replace light bulbs fairly often too, which adds up. So, if these last for years, the extra expenditure now kind of evens out over time.
I am not very familiar with these but when it comes to simple ways to save I am open to anything. I would have to look into them a little more but sounds a little promising.
Yes one year is not bad at all. Actually I got the same warranty on CFL bulbs too. And they are doing fine too right now at home. But after they will end up I will choose LED,as now with new LED bulb I am having, I noticed that it is having good light compare to CFL. Yes if they will last for years then yes it is really good. Let's see.
