To be completely fair, I’ve had two fail on me over the years. They tend to get flickery on warm colors or sometimes have a color fail entirely. One was a Gen 1 bulb and the other was the Bloom (or Iris? Can’t remember which). The bulk was in a small enclosed fixture and the Bloom was on a windowsill that got a lot of sun; so probably heat issues for both.
But I have 23 total and many of those are 8+ years old at this point, one of which was exclusively used outdoors in temps ranging from -10F to 100F
Some of my Hue bulbs I’ve had for over 10 years now.
Yeah I’ve never had one fail and they last forever. Hours a day for years.
