Our 2026 report explains that in a family home the component that fails is almost never the LED: it is the driver, and specifically its heat sensitive capacitors, which is why integrated fittings are discarded while their light source still works. We rank the real determinants of durability as heat, driver quality, switching frequency and mechanical handling, note that hallways and bathrooms punish drivers hardest because they are cycled many times a day, and separate genuine failure from the disappointments that are not failures, principally mismatched colour temperature and dimmer incompatibility."}
