Five years ago I put led strips under the bathroom cabinets and use them as night lights... 1800 hours/year. By then 10-15 percent are not working and by the end of two years more than half have stopped working and the rest have dimmed by half. I have replaced them two times.
I used to sell LED's for a major U.S. manufacturer and LED's need to be controlled properly for them to last. A lot of the cheapest ones you see today are not controlled right and they aren't going to last. The better name brands will do much better and the LED's will be much happier. You have to pay for quality.
We used to publish that a properly controller LED will burn continuously for 100 years with virtually no light output loss, but the secret is the controlling circuits. Cheap equals poor service.
