[–] Dyf_Tfh@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 years ago (2 children) So far i have never replaced any LED bulbs, and the oldest ones i have are 15+ years old. LED strips though, where a single dead led can bring down the whole strip, are absolutely a non sensical idea. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] WalrusDragonOnABike@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago IME, LED whining gets me to replace them before they actually die. For old people who can't hear it, they should last longer. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kozy138@lemm.ee 0 points 3 years ago Well I've replaced over 10 in like 3 years. They can get much hotter than incandescent, which can damage the internal circuitry. Perhaps personal experience isn't the best gauge of reliability permalink fedilink source parent
