I know all too well from experience that no light bulb lasts 15 years, no matter what type it is. I knew it would die prematurely, so I stapled the receipt to the packaging and put it in a drawer; showing great foresight, I thought.
I hope they kept the receipt!
Sorry...couldn't help it!
They stopped being waterproof. They stopped being mine.
Today these bulbs are rated around 50,000 hours.
That's more than 15 years of use at around 9 hours per day 7/365.
LEDs like other solid state devices tend to either be good or bad. If they fail, it's usually pretty quickly. If they don't then they are usually good for their rated life. There is a certain percentage of defective devices that make it through QC and sounds like you got one. Else it's a cheap Chinese knock-off with high defect rates and low life ratings.
