Hi all, Do you smell "burnt plastic" from your LED light bulb? If not, then what brand/store are you using? Background: ----------- For longest time, I've been smelling "burnt plastics" in the house. At first, I thought some neighbour's wood stove... exhaust goes up, drifts over to my house, cools, and comes down. But, it's more "plastic" burning, not "wood" burning. It's bad enough to irritate my throat and interfere with my sleep. I've been opening all my windows at night, daily. I checked everything... water heater, furnace fan, refrigerator, my computer. I finally found the culprit. LED bulbs. The plastic base gets hot and emits that smell. Over time, it accumulates inside the house. All my LED bulbs were bought from Canadian Tire. So, I bought 2 bulbs from Home Depot (Ecosmart) and Rona (Valu+). And, they don't smell, at least after 1 day of use. Maybe it's too early to tell. I don't care about "longevity" or "efficiency", at this point. I'm on the verge of going back to incandescent bulbs.
