In addition to the unexpected shortened life of LED bulbs than what we've been led to believe, I've also seen that dimmable LED bulbs tend
to flicker at anything outside of full on.
After much research on this phenomenon, I learned that dimmable LED bulbs have to have a special type of dimmer switch especially designed
for LED bulbs. And, of course, they're about three times more expensive than the regular type dimmer switches..

I used to do that until I noted that every single bulb in an enclosed fixture failed in less than 2 years. These were all Cree bulbs, not cheap Chinese knockoffs. Cree replaced them with bulbs designed for enclosed fixtures and at the wattage rating listed on the fixture. They said the wattage equivalent replacement on the label refers to equivalent incandescant bulb for heat tolerance, not energy consumed.
Led bulbs are not as long lasting or bullet proof as marketing has implied if sized improperly. They have electronic circuits which are very much affected by too much heat.Bob
