LED Zeppelin

The guy who did the electrical design on our house was not the best at thinking. I don't think he was thinking when he put a light above the outside basement door that could only be controlled by a switch down in my workshop area.  As if I were going to scoot down there every night to turn it on, and scoot back in the morning to turn it off. 

So I changed it to a light fixture that turned on when it got dark and off when the sun came up, and that lasted for a few years until it got tired of waiting for the sun, and would not come on for any reason. Then ten years or so ago, I got the idea to get one of those new-fangled LED bulbs >>> for the new fixture and just leave it shining 24-7. 

Which I did, and I hope I'm not jinxing anything, but through dead of winter with temperatures far below freezing, and summer sun and heat up to almost 100°, it burns on like Edison intended, even though he was incandescent about it. I'm saying, that bulb down by the cellar door has had a longer life than several Galapagos tortoises.

So who wants to tell me why the LED bulb I installed over my shower lasted two weeks? Every time I turn around, I'm clambering up in the ceiling with a new bulb in my mouth, making the switch. 

I'm counting on the LED empire to make this right.
