"It's supposed to last 100,000 hours" ... SUPPOSED being the important word. Nobody actually knows because nobody has been able to test them for that long.
LED bulbs are largely a scam for bulb makers to stuff more money into their pockets. They are not really any "greener" than normal old bulbs and they do not last anywhere near that predicted lifetime (especially in houses around here with silly in-ceiling light fittings), unless of course you rarely switch them on. The problem is that shops also wanting to make themselves look greener and make more money have been 'phasing out' regular light bulbs forcing people to buy the more expensive ones.   :-(
