Interior LED Fixture has Dimmed
Without any preceding symptoms, the under cabinet LED fixture in our galley has suddenly dimmed. Seems to be maybe 2/3 of its original full intensity. I dropped the fixture down from under the cabinet...

Manufacturers push the LED heat limit right to the bitter edge of functionality.
Keep an LED cool and stay under, well under the Imax current limit and a good LED will light for 20 years 24/7.
But RV LED lighting violates these rules. By a lot. So short life is the penalty. SHARP ELECTRONICS for large 10-100 watt chips and CREE for to 5 watt with proper heat sinking and power has given me the best results. Good luck finding CREE LED fixtures.
