I think the lifespan of LED bulbs is exaggerated, thats 5.5 years (if on 24 x 7).
I've had a number need replacing already, after 2/3 years, and not in 24/7 use either.
This.

LED bulbs are particularly vulnerable to heat. I’ve had one fail after 12 months in an enclosed glass globe shade in the bathroom, and after a similarly short time in the kitchen close to the cooker. One of the ones in the room with our central heating stove failed after well under a year.
