Haven't tried the cob lights but have been using LED's in our poultry barns for a few years.
Tried some of the first LED's but they didn't last long, today the know brands are much better, Our mercy vapor yard lights started failing and were replaced with CFL's but they gave off poor light in cool weather and never lasted more than a year, installed the first Howards brand LED yard light 5 years ago and it's still working, put a second one up 3 years ago, last mercy vapor failed last fall after 12 years, waiting for better weather to put up another LED.
Replaced all 32 light bulbs on one barn 3 years ago with Satco brand 9.5 watt 5k LED's, they burn 18 hours per day and none have failed but they are noticeably dimmer than when new and will need replaced sometime this year.
Just purchased some new Overdrive Brand 11 watt 5k dimmable LED's to go in other barn, they are supposed to last longer and be better suited for harsh environments.
May pick up a cob light for my shed to see how it does.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
