    Yeah I’ve only ever had one LED bulb die, and I think that was because it was faulty in some way. I’ve had a much better experience with them compared to CFLs.

      Usually it’s a badly designed heat sink that’s meant to cause an eventual short so that it has to be replaced. Or just shoddy low material builds. LEDs really can last an obscene amount of time and they don’t die another part does.

      I’ve had lots of led bulbs die. I think it’s because I bought them at the dollar store.

        And finding quality ones that will last a long time is more difficult than you might think.

        Many of them are made cheaply.
