I have switched all the lighting in 2 apartments to LED lamps, more than 10 years ago, and no lamp has gone defective until now.
However, they were Philips lamps and not one of their cheapest models, but some model with 1521 lumen @ 13 W and 4000 K color temperature, i.e. slightly more luminous than the classic 100 W incandescent lamps and with almost white light, only very slightly yellowish, very unlike the yellow lamps with a color temperature under 3000 K, and also very unlike the cheap bluish lamps with a 6500 K color temperature.
My LED lamps are screwed in traditional incandescent lamp fixtures, which hang from the ceiling, but unlike some bad lamp fixtures, mine have below them a diffusive screen, to avoid direct light, but they are completely open above, so they do not impede cooling.
