I wish the LEDs weren't such crap. They don't even last as long as a 60W incandescent a lot of times. The old CFLs last years, I have a few over ten years old.

Mostly capacitor plague or heat. I've only lost 2 / 50 in Open fixtures with good airflow over the last three years.

I have one outdoor that pops every spring the fixture is damn near sealed and in direct sunlight, but the HOA demands the fixture.
