How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years?
I’ve bought and replaced a lot of light bulbs, and I noticed that all of them said “up to 20,000 hours” which would be about 5 years given 12 hours of daily use (which we definitely don’t).

Only buy Philips (not the Hue stuff) or Osram
The rest are shite
+1 for philips.
The problem is most of what the big box hardware stores in the US are selling are junk brands. And they won’t even offer basics like a philips 75-watt-equivalent soft-white led in their stores.
The junk brand bulbs will fail in my kitchen light fixture after a year (they start flickering). The philips bulbs have never failed for me.
A properly designed and produced led bulb should last like 20 years.
Ikea’s are nice too
Osram literally means “I’ll shit on it” in polish, they are the definition of a shit brand
Millions of electricians would disagree, but I can’t speak for Polish sparkies
It’s a joke in Poland - what shines and actively threatens you? A lightbulb made by Osram
