I haven't had a filament LED fail on me yet. The cheapest LEDs you can find aren't worth it; best to get a name brand.

Name brand like Philips don't die quickly (mostly) but they lose its brightness pretty fast. I have few 12w MyCare™, it's going strong for like 3 years but it's now only as bright as my new 6w LED.
