Lightbulb problems: fixture or wiring?
All of my light fixtures use the LED so-called “lightbulbs”. The type that mine uses are all 3x5 LEDs. Most of them work fine. But the one over the kitchen sink keeps burning out bulbs quickly. AFAIK ...

OK, I'm going to chalk this up to being more than just one fixture.
I was sitting around last night with just the fixture over the table on; which is not something that normally happens.
It started getting dimmer in a cycle that ran maybe about 5 minutes? (I did not time it.) The bulb would be normal brightness for several minutes, then get dimmer for may 10 seconds, go back to bright, wash, rinse, repeat. During the cycles the bulb never got brighter than normal.
So, one fixture burning LEDs in a reproducible pattern and another fixture (maybe on the same circuit?) getting dimmer, but not brighter, in cycles. Where do I start looking for that?
Cheaply made with no QC..
Find a different vendor/brand..
With LEDs you WILL end up "experimenting" with different vendors/brands until you find one that has slightly better QC..
Took me quite a few "tries" before I found LEDs that last more than a few weeks and even then have had a few die after a year or to of use.
