I've started swapping fixtures to the LED fixtures with the little lights on the board (I don't know what they are called). We remodeled our kitchen almost six years ago, and I put up three LED fixtures. They're still working and are as bright as they've ever been. No changing bulbs for 6 years so far in those, only 4 more to go to hit what they advertised.

ETA: These exact fixtures. One large, two medium.

Ive had the opposite experience with the fixtures. Put them up in several spots after 2016 flood so probably early 2017.

2 have already gone out. In laundry room and hallway which are hardly ever on. Think they said good for 9 years

I have the same fixture at the camp except in nickel. It has two Circulon bulbs and the ballast went out and I replaced it with a retrofit that runs off line voltage. It has been fine and has probably a little more light but that is comparing worn bulbs to new LEDs.
