YET & JSE are china oem products. these are sold very cheap in lighting shops like Top Ten, Avalon, etc. we are also electrical shop, but we normally don't recommend these in our projects. YET have many variants, let me know what is the model, and I can ask whether can reduce further the price. I guess the JSE bulbs they give you are the screw head bulbs, which at those prices, quality is compromised. if you want lasting bulbs, you should use PLC tubes with external ballast. but the total price is much more.

my experience with the so called branded bulbs is pretty hit and miss... my current house used all hitachi bulbs initially but screw on type... some lasted some time but most didn't really last that long. Eventually changed to the cheaper chinamade/local brands... also felt it lasted about the same. however, the PLC appeared to be better as I changed 2 of my downlights that i switch on every night about 1 year later after the light itself spoilt. With the everynight use, one of the bulb lasted about 3-4 years and still going strong, another one also hit and miss but lasted about 1+ year before I changed another...
