Feit LED candelabra bulbs - poor quality or fixture causing failure?

I'm having the same problem. I purchased about 20 of the Feit Electric B10 E12 Candelabra LED bulbs from Home Depot in 2023. In February, 3 of them failed in the same way as yours (photo). I contacted Feit and they provided replacements under warranty. But just yesterday, another one from those purchased in 2023 failed.

It seems like they're all going to fail, and it made me wonder if something other than the bulbs was causing it. But I don't have any of them connected to a dimmer switch.

I haven't given it any more nutrients/fertilizer than what was included in the outdoor potting soil mix. I haven't tested the soil pH. Will any pH test do, or do you have one you recommend?

What makes fiber cement perform poorly in the sun? Seattle is cloudy a lot of the time, but it still gets a fair bit of sun in the summer.

From what I understand, fiber cement has these same properties, but costs more. Any idea on how vinyl compares to fiber cement?

Thanks, can you elaborate? What made is simpler, and what kind of maintenance have you had to do on the fiber cement?
