LEDs, Long Life
THat is correct, the LED itself will last a long time however what is a major pain is the junk pwoer driver that is incorporate into them. This is that part that always fails and then renders the bulb useless. LED lighting has to addres this and separate the LED from the driver. In most cases the driver is the cheapest switched mode psu chip and a crummy circuit wedged onto a board. The board gets hot from the LED and the fact that it is under rated with teh requried current,. Result ***POP****, no more light. I have taken numerous GU10 LED bulbs apart that have failed and they all have knackered drivers.
