I’ve had some LEDs only last a few years as well, most only were used for 5 to 6 hours a day if that. While LEDs promise to last 10 years under certain conditions, you won’t save much if they have to be replaced every 2 to 3 years, sort of defeats and negates the purpose. Whenever someone brings up the topic of LEDs failing sooner than necessary, the documentary ‘Light Bulb Conspiracy’ comes to mind.
We’ve had some cheap Phillips led bulbs I know since 2016. And they are used from sunset until 11:20 on WiFi outlet timer each day. Only had to replace two in whole house recently. Home Depot brand has been good for us too.
Yes, the Led bulbs have been awful! No matter what brand we tried they all lasted about a year and a half. Those old bulbs in that bathroom light were great! We had bulbs in a light like that for about 20 years! The replacement bulbs for that bathroom light don’t last more than 2 years, all 8 bulbs burned out!

I'll have to try some of those. 👍
There's no money in bulbs that last for years.
