I have 5 LEDs that I've had in my 5 most used sockets in the house for 3 years and no trouble so far. ...I'd be worried if I did but not one of them is providing any issues. I love how I don't need to wait 3 minutes for them to get bright and in the bathroom I'm not putting a CFL directly above a sink. The 8 watt LEDs pointing down have replaced 60 watt incadescents and provide noticeably more illumination than what used to be there. My bedroom has 2 of the same 8 watt LEDs and they replaced two 13 watt CFLs and I'm impressed that the room is brighter with these than with the CFLs even though the actual lumen rating on the CFLs is higher on the CFL packaging than what the LEDs say they are.
