RIP Hyperikon LED PAR20s

Apparently I bought this in 2017: Hyperikon PAR20 Dimmable LED Bulb, 8W (50W equivalent), 2700K (Warm White), CRI90+, Flood Light Bulb, 40° Beam Angle, Medium Base (E26), Dimmable, UL & ENERGY STAR, 4-Pack 3.6⭐️ and several reviews mention a short lifespan. I had the first two bulbs installed for ... 9 years?! They’ve been hanging off of a Lutron LED-compatible dimmer since 2022 or so. One failed the other day. I swapped it with one of the two remaining from the 4-pack. It failed within a couple of hours. I installed the last one this morning. Curious to see how long it lasts. After this, I’ll probably swap to Feit. I’ve been using these (4.3⭐️) in the kitchen, dining room, and living room, for about 3 years now, happily. But they don’t seem to be available. These (4.7⭐️) look like the new version, more or less (and being able to change color temp might be kind of cool, too)?

Hyperikon LED PAR20s. They served well.
