That sounds like your house has dirty power. Semiconductors like LEDs don't like that.

Basically everywhere in the USA has dirty power at the residential level.

Yes, but there are degrees. I have LED bulbs 5 years and counting. 1-2 years is bad.

Might’ve gotten a bad batch. I know a local business that had to replace tons of them in new houses because a specific manufacturer had issues with one of their production runs and they would go out/or flicker non-stop within the first few years at random. Replaced about 15 of them in my own house within the first few years of a new build. “Luckily” lightning struck the house and insurance paid to replace them all with another brand and no more flickering led’s now.

That's an issue then because unless you got a whole house UPS you're damned hard pressed to find residential power worldwide that isn't. Nature of the beast.
