I wonder about surges and overvoltage excursions on your power.
I have probably purchased 50 or more CREE. My kitchen has 16 floods in the
coffered ceiling.
Most of my bathrooms have 4-12. Zero failures.

Hmm, I have confirmed over 50% failures on my HomeDepot Cree Bulbs, I
bought 6 and have replaced 3 so far.

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.
