Seconding Philips. At HomeDepot the cheapest Philips bulbs are about 2.75 CAD each compared to 0.85 CAD each for the ecosmart and failure rates is under 1/5 the cheap brand for me. (Diabolically, the ecosmarts are cheapest when bought individually.) Philips’ dimmables are closer to $6 each but my dimmer switch lights use them and I like them a lot. My other lamps use El Cheapo brand because changing them out is quite easy.
Stuff designed for Europe which has a CE mark has since 2017 to have been tested for (if I remember it correctly) at least 20,000h of use and 10,000 on-off cycles with no more than 5% failures, plus there is also a maximum loss of brightness of the LEDs (as the light emitting diodes themselves tend to lose a bit of brightness with use after manufacturing) and rules about color quality.
The stuff I get here in Portugal, even no brand stuff from Chinese stores, has quite a low failure rate and I have been using LED lamps for ages (to the point that all the lamps more than paid for themselves in energy savings versus the other options back when I started)
Suggestions for best LED bulbs that are not a waste of money because they were designed to break would be enormously appreciated.
The big box store bulbs suck. Pay more for Phillips bulbs.

So you might try choosing lamps with CE marks.
