My factory LEDs (I'm referring to the assembly, not the light emitting diode) died within 3 months - a total of 20 of them. Ended up tracking it down to the manufacturer who said, "yea, we had a bad batch" and shipped me 20.
Most of this stuff is made overseas. There's a technology side and then there is a reliability-of-components and assembly process side. I'll continue to use LED, but yea, they don't last forever..
