Are the complaints you have with LED focused on the bulbs with the transformers in them (multi-voltage AC), or the ones with the separate transformers? This stuff is expensive, but it seems it would pay back in a few months (assuming it all doesn't just break every 5 minutes). Did you purchase from LED Store and did they cover the product under warranty, or just give you some excuse and let it go at that? Thanks! Bob, Josiah,

The technology still isn't rock-solid yet, and it needs to be. Especially at $50 a light. I had the same problem with early CFLs (and still do sometimes.)

Every one of them has died a very premature death, to the point I won't experiment with them anymore. My best guess is that the leds are not dying, but rather, the power supplies that allow them to operate at regular household voltage.
