Modern LED bulbs tend to overdrive the LEDs to a point where they last about as long as incandescent bulbs in my experience. It also allows them to use fewer LEDs, driving cost down. They could last so much longer…

I do like to buy high power ones (100W equivalent ones), open them, and lower the drive current by increasing the driver shunt’s resistance. I haven’t had a single one of those fail. (Don’t do this unless you’re a professional, mains power stuff can be fatal!)

I like to lay on my side in bed and read, and my cat will snuggle up in front of me. Often I’ll later flip around, and we’ll have each others’ back.

I tend to flip around a lot before falling asleep, so she’ll usually go lay at my feet (preferably on my blanket), but she’s good as long as she’s close.

Don’t cats have a protective instinct as well, where they face away from one while being comfy together?
