TEST the LED lamps before installing them. Light them up. Press finger against LEDs. If you scream in pain from getting burned choose another lamp.

The most expensive LEDs are those that keep burning out.
Ignore reviews from idiots who rate the lamp after 2 minutes of on-time.
Choose lamps highly rated by reviewers and I mean several reviewers on this forum. Idiot reviews on Amazon are worthless. I conduct voltage and temperature Delta T experiments here. The cooler the P/N junction operates, the longer the life of the emitter. I manufactured 500 watts consumed stadium lamps in 2012 that still burn 6 hours a day. No failures. 50-watt store fixtures that operate 8 hours a day for the last 8 years, again no failures.
