    I have COMET 2SMD warm frosted in ALL my games.

    TAF has been on route for nearing 4 years now. Bar is open 7 days a week from 11am till 2am. I have been very happy and zero failure rate at this stage.

    Quoted from volcanodiver:

    next time you go to maintain it pop a new one in a place just for fun. grab a pic and post it. curious as to the amount of degradation present. Light falloff is usually pretty fast in LEDs then levels off to a slower decline. LED failure is not computed as a full loss of function but rather 50% less of initial brightness.

    actually TAF was home just 3 months ago for a full tear down and shop out. I did that exact test and was happy to see ZERO degredation or loss of output. I was surprised, but happy.

    Iam super sensitive to LEDs also so would notice the difference quickly.

    I have been very happy with the COMET LEDS. Other brands, not so much... I tried a cheaper brand from a company on the wet coast and they actually degraded and failed quickly. I got tired of replacing those bulbs (as you know some are a PITA to change out) and finally tore down that game and tossed them all, replacing with the good ones.
