Actually commodity LEDs are rated for about 20,000 hours, (still a very long time of operation).
LED lighting is only as good as the components that they are made from. For DC systems the resistors are the weak link in the chain. For AC systems the rectifier circuit will fail far sooner that the LEDs.
