Mark, you have been by my house this year. Did you see any issues with my LEDs? All mine come from big box stores locally. Many from Home Depot, others from Lowes, Garden Ridge, Hobby Lobby, and even Big Lots. I have had very few problems with any of the lights, dimming, rust or flickering except that which was caused by the wireless problem that was just fixed. Only my roof lights still have some flicker because I decided I was not going to climb up there just to flash the firmware.
