Osram literally means “I’ll shit on it” in polish, they are the definition of a shit brand
Comment on How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years?

The rest are shite

Millions of electricians would disagree, but I can’t speak for Polish sparkies

I’ve got several full color Hue bulbs that are the most used lights in my house. I haven’t had a single failure in a decade.
I was more than a little annoyed when they decided to stop supporting my original controller for them though.

+1 for philips.
The problem is most of what the big box hardware stores in the US are selling are junk brands. And they won’t even offer basics like a philips 75-watt-equivalent soft-white led in their stores.
The junk brand bulbs will fail in my kitchen light fixture after a year (they start flickering). The philips bulbs have never failed for me.
A properly designed and produced led bulb should last like 20 years.
