I put a variety of LED bulbs (Ikea dumb + smart, Philips Hue, some no-name brand of T8 drop in replacements) about four years ago and only one (an early Philips Hue) has failed — even that's a soft failure. Meanwhile I've lost one T12 and one T8 in that period (despite only having four FL bulbs in service). Plenty of the LED traffic signals around here have dead LEDs though. Those lasted a surprisingly short amount of time. The thing is, as bad as the waste is — I'd much rather chuck out LED bulbs than CFL/FL.
