I thought LED light bulbs supposed to last very long but for me it rarely last beyond 2 years and most failed within a year, it will turned yellowish and start to break apart.

Currently using OSRAM E27 as downlight with reflector.

Check the wiring in your house, maybe there is a spike in electricity supply or your house wiring got faulty somewhere.

Check if you using correct rated power led.
Over heat could be the problem

Are the failure mostly from your down lights of same type

My led have from mrDiy some from china shopee sellers
Very reliable ..a few years now in use .

the quality just bad...
for few years i always use Philips, always burned in a year or less.

but then i moved to new house, new rccb, new good quality cable, and i even bought e27 with ceramic socket and went back to retry Philips bulb.
mana tau few days ago it burned. canot even last 12 months. mfk

Maybe fake osram kot. I bought philips led bulbs so far workinf. Bought from shop un seaoark pj.

9 years
philip

led

zero problem

Nowadays all china made one...
Low quality type...

1 year++ year usage is normal...

Based on the photo, the bulbs are installed in a very high heat area, hence you can see the base has turned yellowish/brownish.
Not the quality of the lamp, it is the application environment.

so how then?

buy heavy duty lamp bulb??

Check neutral line properly connected on the housing or not ,

It's too hot.
How and where you install it?
Stuffed in non ventilating place?

You may drill some hole at the casing to help ventilation
But do it very carefully

Cannot comment if the installed bulbs are unknown.

my Philips bulbs are yellowing too. I bought 4000K, after awhile, the color not so white anymore, changing to yellow.
The bulbs are expensive too. Genuine PHilips as I bought from their showroom. Already changed the bulbs but the new ones will start to become yellow after awhile
Maybe next round I buy white light 6000K lol

toasted by itself. Your need to change casing with more ventilation
