So my ceiling light suddenly dimmed and didn’t turn bright again. I replaced the led light bulbs in there and now its alls good again.
Why do led lights not simply “burn out” or fail completely? Instead they fail by producing half (or less)the amount of light they used to. This seems like a very odd way to break. Can anyone explain why they break like this?
Followup question: is there a company that is not part of the new lighting cartel making screws-in bulbs that actually last 10+ years?
I have ikea LED bulbs over 20 years old.

tl;dr yes but actually no
Do you think it is possible/a good idea to DIY you own LED bulbs with off-the-shelf components?
Like hollow out a light bulb casing and put your storebought LED and controller inside
