I think it’s not so much the actual LEDs, but the electronics in the base of the bulb. If the bulbs get dimmer and you can see dark spots, individual LEDs are pooping out. If it goes all at once, it’s the circuitry.quote:Originally posted by QuirtEvans:quote:Originally posted by big al:quote:Originally posted by QuirtEvans:

It may be an overheating problem, particularly if the cans are insulated as they may be and the LED bulbs are reflector types such as are often used in cans. The larger lamps restrict air flow and the insulation tends to retain the heat the lamp generates within the can.

Thanks, that's probably the right answer. I guess the LEDs are more sensitive to that sort of temperature change than the incandescents, which didn't have a problem there.
