Same experience here. Every single LED lightbulb i've bought, since the time I started using them, has outlasted basically everything else I've purchased before. It draws less energy and doesn't produce basically any heat too, which is excellent

You have to give the industry some time to circle the wagons and enshittify led bulbs so that they only last 10,000 hours

You're going to want to replace them when they stop getting security updates...
