Ironically, two of the most recent failures I've had (and I've only had a half dozen over the last few years) were heavy Philips bulbs that felt like they were solid metal.

The only LED failure I've had so far was a first gen Hue. Even then it's "just" a noisy power supply. All of my LEDs are either Hue (1st gen color changing or newer white-only ones), Ikea (dumb and smart), or some T8 drop in replacements that Home Depot had. The Ikea ones are, IMO, the best value out there. They turn on quickly, are cheap, and seem to be fairly long lived.
