Is Cree considered higher quality? I had one of their CFLs try to burn my house down about 10 years ago. I smelled burning plastic from the adjacent room and found a bulb in an open fixture with a completely blackened base.
I haven't bought a Cree product since then no matter how cheap Costco marks them.
They were, for sure. However, in 2019 they were sold to another company and I do not know what may have changed since. All of my Cree lights pre-date that.
> I had one of their CFLs
Cree was founded entirely on the premise of creating LED lighting, I am pretty sure they have never done CFLs.
