There's a Philips LED (one of the weird looking three-lobed ones) that has been burning continuously in the entryway of my inlaws' house for over seven years. It's a 60W equivalent. I bought it for them because a) the light burns all the time (even in daylight that area is dark) and b) it's a pain in the butt to change. I think it was about $45 when I bought it. A similar model is down to $21 for a 100W equivalent now. I've got several other Philips bulbs of that type that have been in use for a long time, though not quite that long. I've never had one go out. As with you, I've had numerous cheapies go out over the same interval.
