I've had a few cfl's go bad after only 2-3 years (the rest are still going after 10-15 years) and the problem was always with the electronics inside, not with the tube itself. So I'm guessing that every now and then an LED bulb will also go out prematurely, though maybe less often than cfl's since there is less load/current going through them.

Maybe replace every third bulb and see how they perform. If the light distribution is OK, then next time the electrician comes replace another batch.
