Dimmed out GE LED!
I spotted this at a Red Robins restaurant. This GE LED is very dim. The other track lights have mostly halogen PAR20s. The table lights still have GE LEDs tho.

sweet! it turned green

does the other LEDs light fine? I wonder if those are lit 24/7?

That's the only dim one I saw, I wonder if it was the heat build up inside the head.

maybe.....but even Westinghouse lamps had a number of defects Wink

Westinghouse incandescent bulbs had a major flaw, their stems cracked very easily. In many factory cases I went though at least a couple had no vacuum due to cracked stems.

There you go........ Wink

GE made the best incandescent bulbs they are the most accurate in their life claims. Almost all the GE bulbs I used at work lasted within 100 hours of their rated lives. The 15w soft whites lasted only half of their rated lives though.

I have several of those 15W soft white in service in my shelves and they've been flawless since I installed them almost 2 years ago.

LEDs shouldn't be sensitive to switching on/off. I think that this LED lamp is simply defect.
The LEDs don't heats up the whole lamp, so their driver should be able to dispose its heat well.
The heat is only a problem to the LEDs themselves, but i think that this is a defect lamp.

I have seen some high power LEDs with lumen maintenance problems, but this is the first time I saw a GE LED that dim. Possibly a driver problem or this was in a track light that doesn't allow enough cooling.

Lumen maintenance problems in HPLEDs may caused by overheating.
The LED lamp itself provide heatsinking to the LEDs in it.
Can be a problem with the driver.

I've seen many LED's in traffic lights act like this too.
