Is Philips' quality worsened, especially in LED lights? Watch that: https://calm.iki.fi/tolpat/kuva/9245 and https://calm.iki.fi/tolpat/kuva/7882 (The link is only in Finnish)

All LED lights from all manufacturers are crap. I've seen a year ago an Osram/Ledvance LED floodlight glowing dimly And the Schreder Teceo 2 at Deshanim road/Kiryat Ata junction, keep flashing or stop working since they were installed and replaced AEG Koffer 150 with 250W HPS lamps: https://www.lighting-gallery.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-155092 , https://www.lighting-gallery.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-155881 .

I think they doing the LED lanterns crap quality on purpose, in order to make more money. This is what called "Planned Obsolescence". The LED technology is a superb way to significantly short the lighting fixture life to that of incandescent lamps.

@Froggy05: American members may mislead you or give you answers that related only to the US, since their lamps and lighting companies are completely different and aren't sold in your country. American Philips is a different company than the European one. And I bet that Westinghouse, American Sylvania, GE North American and Philips North American, aren't relevant to you. Non-LED lamps from Philips are good. Their CFL and HID lamps are of high quality. This is the American Philips that is crap in all field of lighting and not only LED.

No, not everything the American Philips makes is bad. Philips still makes most of their fluorescents at their Salina, Kansas, USA plant and they are of high quality. They also make their F15T8, PL-S, PL-C, PL-T, and PL-L at the former Polamp plant in Poland for the USA which are also of high quality. They upped the mercury dosage in their fluorescent lamps as well.

In the recent years I installed more than 500 Philips Luma street lights hereabouts and very rarely I’m facing any failures. Only some of the early Indal Luma lanterns with early drivers are prone to stop working some how but still I do not see any point for blaming these. Yeah. I've seen many broken Pihlips SpeedStrars and Lumas too
