Just joining in with others who report that I haven't had any problems with LED bulb failures. I've used exclusively LED bulbs for at least 5 years now (maybe about 15 bulbs across my home), and none has ever failed on me.

They do sometimes flicker when they're in a traditional dimmer set at an intermediate level, even though the ones I've bought claim to work with a dimmer. That's frustrating.

But I haven't had any outright failures.

If it helps: I bought mostly SANSI bulbs off Amazon.

Dimming is complicated. Some switches do it differently to others. Your dimmable bulbs probably have fineprint somewhere saying which it supports.
