What's interesting about that is at some point the device lasts longer than it is in service for.

According to the internet, the "average kitchen" is remodeled every 10-15 years, so once your LED lights last longer than that, they're likely to get thrown away still working.

I've never met anyone who remodels their kitchen every 10 years.

That'd get expensive quick, a lame way to spend a million dollars over the course of a lifetime.

There are about 70 million single family homes. If we count all dwelling units, we're at 140 million or so.

So the average kitchen lasts 35 years by that metric, to 70 years. I suspect the 10-15 year number counts "refreshes" and not just tear-down/rebuilds. Cabinets these days don't often last 35 years without some work.
