Comment on How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years?

The bulbs themselves are amazing. There are good ones in cars and computers, the flash of phones etc.
The failure point is typically the electronic components that run or regulate it. And of course most companies want to sell more bulbs so they conveniently skimp on that stuff. So maybe the answer is a more expensive bulb that hopefully will last long enough to justify the extra cost?

What would you recommend that actually last long enough to justify the extra cost?

If you can get a hold of Dubai Led bulbs, they are supposed to last extremely long

If you’re technically inclined, Big Clive has a tutorial for ‘fixing’ most bulbs not to overdrive the LEDs by removing or changing a single resistor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HTa2jVi_rc

Make sure to choose lamp fittings that don’t trap the heat.
