Led bulb only lasts 6 months

Featured Replies

I have the same downlights as below which are spaced around the ceiling. However, 1 of the lights keeps blowing the LED bulb after about 6 months. The others on the same circuit are fine. I have tried different brands, but the same happens. I have also fitted a 6cm spacer so that the bulb protrudes out a bit more to try to alleviate some of the heat.

The LED’s are fine, it’s the driver that gets munged. Depending on the bulb a 1 microfarad capacitor will decrease the light but increase the life by a factor of 10. This works with some units but not all. The way you discover if your units are the ones is to try it and see. The capacitors aren’t expensive.
