Hello Tom - 

RJT>>> This makes me wonder what's to wear out in one of those?

TW> Reduced "Lumen" output. While LED's have a very long life
TW> their output does decrease with use. Rembember the
TW> Conversion of Incandescent Light Bulb to LED stop lights
TW> some years back? I see a number of Stop Lights now with Bad
TW> LED's in them. 

I suspected as much.
