And given that, the fixtures might be designed to NOT be opened for bulb replacement. Bulb failure=new fixture.
Problem is, however, that the theoretical average lifespan for an LED device has two problems: first it is an average and second the calculations seem to be off by quite a bit. Maybe the manufacturing process isn't as good as they think.
As you drive around, take notice of how many individual elements in LED traffic lights have failed, well before their advertised/predicted expiration.
