Yep. This one. The long fluorescent tube in our bathroom failed, its unit had been up at least 40 years and had, to put it mildly, seen better days. I couldn't get a like for like replacement in the uK as they are "being phased out", so ended up with an integral LED.

First month I needed sunshades just to walk in the room, 9 months later sunspecs not needed - it's already dimming. It gives a new name to built-in obsolecence. Not happy.
