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 ...

The LED Assy has a DC VOLTAGE specification. Some LED's are operated with a small range of DC Voltage. I have some ceiling LEDs that operate in the 12-14VDC range...
If the LED ASSY has a built-in regulator then this range can be extended over a wider range... I used to have a LED ASSY that operated from 9-30VDC range...
You need to find out what range your LED ASSYs are specified for and then measure the operating voltage to see what it reads for this location...
I am only discussing a 12VDC LED specification.... LED's can also be a 120VAC unit...
I guess another question for is do you ever see all of the LED lights getting brighter and dimmer sometimes. this could be traced to your converter/charger unit may be starting to go bad for you... This could also be related to a battery going bad on you and being charged at a higher than normal DC Current causing the converter/charger working very hard trying to keep the battery charged up... This could be determined if you have lost any battery fluids which is a common failure sometime associated with a single mode converter/charger unit that only puts out 13.6VDC.
Need to do some DC voltage measurements..
In my trailer setup my battery DC volatge without being conncted to shore power will read from 12.0VDC to 12.6-7VDC depending from its charge state.
When on shore power my on-board converter/charger will only produce 14.4VDC-13.6VDC-13.2VDC smart mode charging levels.
As you can see with this my 12V operating range is only 12.0VDC to 14.4VDC. There is no other source in my trailer setup that will produce any higher DC voltage under normal operating conditions.
Both the converter/charger 12VDC output and the Battery 12VDC output feed the same point on the 12V Distribution Panel so that your trailer can operate from both shore Power connections or off the Battery when OFF-GRID...
