Keep your receipt details and return to seller (if in UK) if they don't meet the stated lifetime. AFAIK there are no time limits to Consumer Rights Act returns

  Although good that it's possible to get a free replacement, I suspect the broken bulb will still end up in a landfill or polluting some place in the world with more micro plastics. It's a real shame when manufacturers would rather make a worse product and pocket the few cents difference, environment be dammed.

    One of the big problems with the process is that people don't return things because of the hassle, so the rubbish remains profitable, meaning the flow to landfill doesn't stop. You can attempt to dictate a better situation, but that doesn't always go well ...

  This is the same in Poland (the country I moved to), but who can find receipts for light bulbs bought 6 months ago... I do keep them now (especially for more expensive ones like these Led floodlights). In fact that's how I got through so many of them. I bought them, a couple failed few months later, I'd take them back to the shop, they would just give me new ones in exchange. I'd install these, and they would break again in few months, rinse and repeat. I got so tired of having to swap them up high on a ladder I started fixing them myself and regulating the power supply for lower power (they have a brick style PSU).
