Bisbee Gal Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 I know I can get them at the lighting store by Sunrise, but anywhere in Ajijic when I'm on foot? BTW, none at Walmart or the "dollar" store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 We got tired of replacing CFL floods, especially since we have to hire someone to go up a ladder to replace them. Bought 70 LED "Corn" bulbs from Amazon, very bright, low power, and last 3 or 4 years (we hope). https://www.amazon.com/White-Light-Indoor-Outdoor-Large/dp/B01LZAUOYI?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAINYWQL7SPW7D7JCA&tag=aboutcom02thespruce-20&linkCode=sp1&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B01LZAUOYI&ascsubtag=4148100|google.com|||3%2C2|1| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 There's a lighting store in Plaza Bugambillias you could try. You could also check across the street at Jara though that one is unlikely. We had the same experience with CFL floods and have been replacing with LED floods we bought up north.

josearturozaah Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Not certain of the type you use however the 30 and 50 watt, LED, sealed units are available at Amutio and Casa Plumero in the Ajijic area. Two of ours are still going after 2+ years. A smaller 10 in the carport lasted a year and half. These are square sealed units with a mounting bracket with lead wires ready to connect to power source. under 500 pesos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Is there a reason why LED lights are only lasting a few years? CFE fluctuations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted April 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 The non-LED bulb I am replacing is at least two years (was here when we moved in). It is on a motion detection unit...it rarely comes on. No luck at the Bugambilias place (limited inventory), will get to the lighting store soon. Gracias all.

No - LED lights are very friendly to current flucuations and dirty power. Their enemy is heat. If they have a bulb design with poor cooling, then they destroy themselves. Those "Corn" bulbs I linked are supposed to last 35,000 hours, and they are full 360 lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
