Comment on What is the secret to making LED light bulbs last as long as the package says?

I've never had to replace an LED bulb, ever. They last forever if there isn't a problem with your installation, like poor electrical wiring or poor ventilation

That’s unusual. I have ones that lasted 10 years but they eventually go. It’s usually the driver circuit, not the led itself.

LEDs are rated for 10k hours. 10-15 watt power supplies made both to cram into a tiny space defined by GE 100 years ago for a completely different lighting technology, and to hit a $2.00 price point for the whole assembly? Not so much.

My oldest LED is about 7 years old at this point, so that makes sense
