this isnt even shitty, except light bulbs dotn really burn out anymore
They still burn out pretty regularly for me, probably at the same rate as non-leds.
Probably buy them from manufacturers that are still part of lightbulb conspiracy 🙃

Make sure your fixtures are ventilated. Prolonged heat degrades the capacitor until the power supply dies. The LEDs themselves are generally fine.
-
There was a cap plague a few years ago and cheap bulbs got the worst of it.
-
Until recently, super bright versions (150w-200w equivalent) only came from off-brands because none of the name brands wanted to put their name on something unreliable.

If still have regular problems with the LED bulbs, buy them from the dollar store. They probably won’t last any longer, but if they’re gonna die on you anyway, the cheap ass ones from there still provide the same light as the better known models.
Not like they used too, but still do. Built a new home, and in less than 2 years, several of the cheap contractor grade bulbs have burned out.
yeah I do start to wonder if this “contractor grade” stuff means shit tier. Also arent contractors generally trying to cut every possible corner to maximize profit on their bid?
They might. Usually it’s the transformer, though. And even the LEDs will degrade over time.
