I have somewhere between half a dozen and a dozen of the low cost Great Value (Walmart) 60W equivalent undimmable LED bulbs installed in my house and condo and have had two fail in the past 6 months. I have had all manner of indoor and outdoor LED bulbs scattered around both residences and I believe these are the only ones I have ever had fail, and I think the bulbs that failed were in use for under two years.
I wasn't planning to buy any more bulbs like this as I have found a reasonably priced dimmable "60W" bulb that has a full glass casing like an incandescent and much better light distribution than the other LED bulbs I have used (can't think of the manufacturer right now), but it is still disappointing to see these GV bulbs have such short lifetimes.
One of them is just plain dead and the other is intermittent...I thought the latter bulb was just get bad contact in its socket, but I popped another GV bulb and one from a different manufacturer in there and they were both fine. Tried to clean up the base of the flickering bulb just in case, but it made no difference.
