Not only this; it was also mounted on a slightly vibrating appliance, due to the dual vacuum motor turbines that try to evacuate the cooking vapour and smell.
I understand that I may have used that specific LED lamp in a harsh environment; but its failure in less than a month's time is unacceptable. I neglected to mention that it was RoHS compatible, using the 'hard' tin solder alloy that does not forgive vibrations; now it does, by the removal of the RoHS compatible alloy and the use of the 60/40 one.
My criticism was not directed towards the lack of any restrictions of the product to be used as a fridge/oven lamp or to be working in a vibrating environment. It simply is a product that, in my opinion, would never reach the promised lifetime of 40,000 hours under any circumstances because of the unacceptable design/assembly quality.
