I have installed several LED locations that do not have switches. These are in places I always want to make sure are lighted at night. We used to keep "night lights" on around the place but the bulbs only lasted a few months at best, and I now have LED's that have been on continuously for several years. They are getting them brighter and better all the time.
Me too. The failures were way premature. I learned not to buy the cheap junk available on the direct Chineses websites. They all failed. I had two Cree bulbs failed (out of 20). Cree said there were problems with one particular line of their bulbs (since discontinued). They did not require a receipt or any proof of purchase. They just took my address and sent new bulbs to me. I have had no failures since that time. I've also had premature failures with flourescent bulbs. I wouldn't buy any of the ecosmart bulbs (Home depot private label).
I do love the very low power draw (and reduced heat) of LED bulbs.

I have had problems with some of the LED bulbs not lasting for years like the makers claim ;)

I was shocked when I checked prices at home depot recently. Phillips has soft white non-dimmable LED 60 "watt-equivalent" (800 lumens) bulbs for $2.50 each. These were regular prices, not sale prices.
