   I am disappointed with their reliability. I maintain the lights in my bloc of   
   flats and the lift lights years ago used CFL GU10 type bulbs. They were rated   
   a lifetime of 20000h which are 2.5 years as they are always on and they   
   actually lasted about 3.5    
   years.   
      
   Three years ago I installed GU10 led bulbs with a rated lifetime of 50000h,   
   that's 6 years! After two years both bulbs failed with blinking lights. They   
   did not even reach the rated lifetime of CFL. I also see many TV led   
   backlights fail more often than    
   CFL. For now I consider CFL quite more reliable than led.
