LED bulbs suck 'cause they overdrive them to the point that they fail within a couple of years.

You may be overheating them. Found out that some enclosures don't have adequate cooling for the led circuitry they tend to die out sooner than you expect them to. This happens if the bulb is enclosed in some sort of tight case or recessed section of the house.

Yes and no. They drive the junction at their limits and the power supply is usually underbuilt. Even more expensive ones have this problem. You can actually modify existing bulbs to last a long time but they are dimmer.
