A lingering question in my head about these Amazon and Home Depot bargain bin products. The ecosmart 80cent bulbs I have commonly fail by just becoming dim just like this guy’s. Well I can’t expect too much from bottom dollar quality.

Amazon product that failed after 15 months with the seller nowhere to be found, didn’t work because of a bad connection.
ecosmart likely a shorting resistor, not enough voltage from the driver chip getting to LEDs that are working just fine.
utilitech pros had better heat dissipation and more parts, but found no clear failure mode and he busted the thing anyway diagnosing how it handled mains voltage.
