These just go out with the other recycling, right?
You might have fixtures that overheat the bulbs. LEDs run cool compared to other bulbs but they are very sensitive to heat (that’s why the old ones had fins on them). If your fixture is enclosed, LEDs in there will have a much shorter life span.
One common fixture in these parts are those silly domes with the screw in the middle, they regularly killed bulbs at my old place. I even had one come out that had discoloration from the heat.
CFLs and incandescents didn’t like those fixtures or heat either, but I don’t know as much about how their life span was impacted.
My wife and I affectionally refer to those as boob lights.
