They say it will lay it last twenty years so they only have already been fiddling and I have been stalling. -- So -- how long of the once you've been installing been lasting on average. Anywhere from. Create well. Let's put it this way it's been a low percentage of the ones that have failed. But. The want to have failed so far been failing within creative site years. So that's not that much longer than a that if you bought a double strength incandescent ball. -- and so what I do our engineers. And -- that's because of the low grade components. And circuitry. -- -- themselves. Probably just aren't. Ever ever do. It seemed. That doesn't believe me go well with a lot of confidence you know I mean I just want the -- -- -- work.
