LED life expected

[CTL]

I installed 4 "UTILITECH" LED lights (from Lowes) in my kitchen and they only lasted about 18 months, which was about 2000 hours at 4 hours a day max, probably less.
My question is whether anyone else tracked how long their LED lights worked, since if you replaced ANY of them, you probably did NOT GT 10 YEARS, right?
So, why are ALL 4 of my LED lights dead after less than 2 years?
O dated all my LEDs with the date I installed them, not the date I bought them.
There is no "dimmer" switch" or any other extenuating circumstance that I can recall.
Any other folks out the who found theirs did not last?
I'm curious, and don 't really want to wait another 2 years to find that LEDs are over-rated?
Advertisers want to sell them, and don't expect anyone to actually keep track?
