Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see,

Here's some of my LED misadventures/experience. I have no connection to the seller/manufacturers. Bought my favorites from Amazon. Have also used store bought feit, phillips, sylvania, ge, & true-value store brand.

20watt 2400 lumen 3000 kelvin enclosed rated multivolt LED bulb. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071F8BHNV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_IgnrEbYHQ3BQM

December 2018 I installed 2 of these at work in outdoor sealed metal halide shoebox fixtures when the ballasts died, they have been on 24/7 since then with no noticeable change in output. Specifically chose these because they will take 120-277 v and can survive in an air-tight enclosed fixture.

40 watt 4000 lumen 2700 kelvin LED bulb. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W2MSB6H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_VinrEbHFFRVWR

I installed 12 of the 40 watt and 2 of the 60 watt versions of these bulbs into freebie take-out 400w metal halide high bay fixtures from work. Removed the ballasts and hardwired the sockets, daisychained 14 fixtures with cheap extention cord, hung in a metal uninsulated/unheated pole barn. They work very well with and without the fancy lexan reflectors on the fixtures. Liked them enough to put several up around the house as well, no failures to date. Replaced 12 100 watt bulbs in one of the boss's barns with the 40 watt versions, he is happy with them.

I used the mogul base adapters on the MH fixtures, no complaints. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07GZD3BR5?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title#

So far I have had much better luck with the above bulbs compared to what I found at Menards, Fleet-farm, HD and True-value. On price, light output, longevity and color temp consistency. YMMV
