Stair lights - failure rate (B&Q)

Morning all

With all the discussion about the stair lights, just a quick warning that
one of my LED lights has just failed :-(

Mine were from the B&Q 'outdoor' set, I think the same one that's been
discussed on here several times.  They've only been on about 1000hrs (over
3
months), so 1/30th of their stated life!  FWIW, 4 out of the 10 have failed
in my local B&Q store, so I guess the moral is to make them easy to
swap out
when they do fail.  This is not easy to do with stair lights, so my
swap-out
technique most consists of lots of swearing.
