Light keeps going out
An LED bulb in a 3 bulb fixture lasted about 2 months. I replaced it, and a few weeks later it started flickering and then went very dim, then out completely. I replaced it again today with a brand new bulb and after two hours it started flickering and going very dim. What could this be?

If the 3 bulb fixture was designed for incandescent and the LED bulbs contain the drivers(power supply) , it could be the driver in the bulb is being affected by the parallel impedance of the other 2 LED bulbs. If the LED bulb power supply is remote. check the wiring at the bulb socket.

Is this and enclosed fixture (with a globe enclosing the lamps) and are the other two lamps incandescent?
Closed globes trap heat from incandescent lamps and the heat can have an adverse effect on the power supply of an LED lamp. Check the fine print on the box your new lamps came in. They may say (in some manner) not to use them with a closed globe.
