Light bulbs (including LEDs) are similar. If you use them at slightly lower then their maximum rating, things tend to last a LOT longer. The "Dubai lamp" uses this concept - oversized LEDs that are derated, and last a very long time (100k hours). You can do the same by buying oversized dimmable LEDs and simply turning down the brightness.
