New LED Recessed 120V lights constantly burning out
Just had kitchen remodeled this summer. 3 - 120V LED task lights installed in ceiling focused on Countertop. I have had to replace the bulb in 1 of the lights 4 times in 6 months and the bulbs in the other 2 lights once each. Electrician has been back twice and double checked his work and sees no issue. Also wired on the same switch is a pendant light which is over the sink. The bulb in that light has not burnt out and it is also a LED. Anyone have any ideas what could be happening here? The bulbs are rated to last 1.8 years and I'm lucky if I'm getting 1.8 months out of them. Thanks for any help and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings! MB McProc

Can you give us the model number of the fixture and the type of lamp, and/or post a pic or two?

I would suspect that the lamps are getting too hot causing the electronics to fail since that's the most likely premature failure mode for LEDs. Are these on a dimmer?

Have you tried a different brand of bulb?

Not sure what the original bulbs were but the current bulbs are GE and I believe the previous ones were Sylvania. Also, don't know if it will give a clue or not, but twice the bulbs have gone out the instant the light switch was turned on.
