While they are dying out, you can still find incandescent bulbs. While these were once totally common, they’ve been largely replaced by LEDs and other lighting technology. However, you still …
Really? I don’t remember the last time I replaced an LED bulb. I replaced one old CFL with an LED when it died last year, but before that… I genuinely can’t remember an LED bulb dying. And I buy the cheap ones. Are yours being overheated? Maybe you have really bad power quality?
I have one specific light fixture that kills led lamps with no mercy. They don’t fully die though, just decrease luminosity over time till they are useless. Tried with brand and non brand lamps. I think because it’s basically upside down glass cups with no vents at the top.
Not the same guy, but I have some LED bulbs I’ve never replaced. I have some where I need to replace them every couple years or so. It’s… weird. I think it’s gotta be certain types of bulbs and/or the wiring in those parts of my house that just die faster.
I need to replace LED bulbs/reflectors 2-3 times a year.

I’m betting on bad airflow on some fixtures, installed by a landlord.
And/or bad switches? Legrand branded.
Some bulbs have cracked plastic housing.
They are rated 220-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, I think have constant current regulator.
