[AFMUG] OT: LED Lifespan

[Nate Burke]

I've converted some things to A type LED Bulbs at my house, mainly for 
the reduced heat output, but I'm not seeing anywhere near the lifespan 
advertised.  I would say ~50% failure rate within 2 years. I'm betting 
the actual LED's are fine, but the driver burns out.  Is this common 
with LED's or am I just really unlucky?  We installed a bunch of 4' LED 
Shop lights, granted they were all the same manufacturer, but we have 
about 75% failed within 8 months.
