Just curious, are these enclosured fixtures?

LED bulbs really don't like running in enclosured fixtures, expecially the
higher wattage equivalent ones.

I also think there are a lot of cheap LED fixtures/bulbs out there which
probably aren't designed correctly.   I'd guess the LED shop lights might
fit into this category.
