Philips bulbs generally seem reliable, although I’ve had some of their 4 ft. fluorescent bulbs fail early — but that may have been the “Lights of America” fixtures I had them in. I’ve had several “Lights of America” fixtures themselves fail. The “electronic ballasts” in cheap fluorescent fixtures seem very vulnerable to AC power fluctuations. Ditto for some CFL’s. So far, I really have not had a lot of LED bulb failures, but, a couple off-brand “100 watt equivalent” (1600 LM) LED bulbs I got @ Menards on clearance died after a couple months intermittent usage, this summer. Even though they were in open fixtures, I suspect inadequate heat sinking. I’ve been meaning though, to crack one open and see if the LEDs themselves still work.
My experience is very similar to yours plus one of the Lights of America electronic ballasts caught on fire while in use, fortunately didn’t burn anything but itself. I called the CPSC: they couldn’t have been less helpful or interested.
