Any issues with fans burning out or losing a bank of lights as I've read many people with LEDs experience one or both issues with their LED lights

Fan no, light bulbs yes. I've had a few bulbs burn out but I just replaced them myself. You just need to know how to solder...

I've had my led fixtures for 4 years or so. No issues at all as of yet

I'm running radions supplemented with 1 t5 blue+ bulb on each side of my leds. Seems to bring out more color than just LEds alone and there's not rly much heat. I'm thinking of mybe adding 1 more t5 on each side. Dunno yet
