I have 3 AI SOL blue fixtures and over the past couple months I have had to replace 3 of the LED pucks because of an LED failure. these are the original model and are just over 3 years old. Im surprised that they are failing like this. Anyone else seeing issues
 
Sounds like just normal wear and tear. If you ran them 8 hours a day for three years straight, that's 8,736 hours of use. Granted, maybe not at 100% power, but still quite a lot of time.

Well there goes the "10 year average life period of LED'S" that some companies claim. I knew it sounded too good to be true.
 
It all depends how they are driven, that determines lifespan well other than heat :-)
