Sucessfull LED fixtures have been out for almost 7 years now.. don't know where you are getting that impression from.
What fixtures are people still using that are 7 years old?
at 50,000 hrs the LEDs are said to have lost 15 to 25% of there intensity, with no color shift, so you can look at this as yes you can use them for the full rated life. will some burn out befor then.. probably, incorect use can burn them out pretty quick, but as long as you keep them cool then you should be fine.
Good to know
why do you want to remove and replace bulbs?
You just said they last 10 years. I guess you just throw the fixture out and buy a new one? What happens if a bulb burns out? Do you have to replace the whole fixture?
