Didn't last very long...

I grew tired of replacing the incandescent bulbs under my microwave (an over-the - range unit) and thought LED bulbs would last longer and save energy. The light wasn't quite as "soft" as I thought it would be but I could get over that. There was no observable blinking like you sometimes see with LEDs, which is a plus. However.... To give some context, the microwave has a bright setting and a nightlight setting. After about a month one of the bulbs stopped getting brighter when the bright setting was selected. A couple of weeks later the other bulb would not get brighter when set on the bright setting. Both bulbs still worked on the dim setting but not the bright. Am disappointed because I replaced these with incandescent bulbs that lasted about 3 months. I think part of it is the bulbs experience a lot of heat being over a gas range.
