As someone who lived with them for the first thirty years or so of my life I am very glad they are gone. I haven't had to replace a single light in my last ten years since I moved to a home that is all LED while it was a constant thing in my childhood.
I need to replace LED bulbs/reflectors 2-3 times a year.
Osram, the best for it's price range, but they are running too hot.
Really? I don't remember the last time I replaced an LED bulb. I replaced one old CFL with an LED when it died last year, but before that... I genuinely can't remember an LED bulb dying. And I buy the cheap ones. Are yours being overheated? Maybe you have really bad power quality?
I have one specific light fixture that kills led lamps with no mercy. They don't fully die though, just decrease luminosity over time till they are useless. Tried with brand and non brand lamps. I think because it's basically upside down glass cups with no vents at the top.
Yeah, if they're trapping heat, that might be causing overheating. If you care enough, you could replace that one with something with vents.
It's more likely that my wife replaces my face if I touch that
