Lights with fixed LEDs last longer,

the life of one LED only. Duh.

The reason they last longer is because they can be cooled better than
some random fitting retrofitted with a LED bulb.

No dennis. The reason they last less long is
a) the manufacturer couldn't care less as long as it makes a few years
b) since it's only on a small % of time they push the LEDs much harder.
BC/ES LEDs OTOH are rated at 15-25k hours

They come in a bigger range of looks because they dont have the huge E27
or B22 bases to worry about and they don't need to provide ventilation
that the bulb needs.

they don't

They are cheaper than buying flat panels with bulbs behind them, or
spirally dangaley bits or any of the other fashions people buy these
days which you can't even get bulbs into.

which have nothing even to do with the topic. What a great debater you are.
