Although the article talks of LED wearout, I think the key data was a survey of outdoor LED systems: 10% of failures are the LED itself, the other 90% is support components that fail causing shorter lifetimes.

I'm curious how it compares to the LED filament lighting which can use much simpler power supplies with fewer components which should mean much lower failure rates.
