Stories of LED incandescent-bulb replacements

I bought a LED Par 38 replacement for a 75 watt floodlight.  Nothing else was claimed on the package, ether good or bad practices.  I used it to replace a floodlight outdoors.  Worked great - for awhile!  I even enjoyed how much money we would be saving using only a little more than a tenth of the original power.  Then the rains came.  Rain penetrated the seal between the LED reflector assembly, water got in, and electrolysis caused the printed-circuit trace between LED clusters to burn-through.  Because of the nature of the special heat-sink PC board, and the mounting of the LED clusters, the board couldn't be cost-effectively repaired.  Disappointed.
