not true, Leds can die out but not usually before 40 to 80,000 hours of usage. Also, their lights are usually not as bright and do not spread light as well, usually directional. I intalled pure white 9-led lights in all my interior dom lights. Looks pretty cool, I'll post up pics tonight after I take some! They look very nice in the interior, very easy to remove the regular bulb and put them in (I recommend the 9-WLEDs which are pretty bright and look almost bluish white like HIDs)
