I think the LED bulbs I am using now claim to last for 22 years at normal daily usage. I don’t remember what the hours rating was though, which means that it is great marketing to put 22 years on the box. Out of the eight originally 40 watt bulbs in my bathroom, all of them except one have been replaced with LED. I still have one incandescent bulb that is still going after 10 years. It is only a 1500 hour bulb, so it has gone many times that somehow. Perhaps a little out of spec and didn’t fail when the manufacturer meant it to fail.
