I’ve been using various brands of LED bulbs at home for years now. This past week, 3 or 4 of them went out, one at a time. The ones that went out were not all the same brand. My take is that they are not lasting any longer than the bulbs I used 35 years ago.

LED Bulbs Don’t Last As Long As Advertised, Here’s Why
When I was a kid, lightbulbs were made in places like Ohio, Indiana or Michigan. They were the cheaper/simpler version. Household appliances, auto parts, kids bikes, lawn equipment and tools may have also been manufactured in those locations. Things were made to be fixed or repaired, not thrown out.
