Yikes, that Radion story does not sound good! Sorry to hear.
My DIY build using generic 10 watt multi chip LEDs has now been running 3 years. I cooked one dimmer, but that's because I knowingly ran it at over it's rated load. Once I split the load, no problem. I was a doofus for running it that way. Anyhow, all good since that episode, no LED burnouts, no power supply burn outs and I have spare LEDs, dimmers & power supplies. I can order more on line any time. The 10 watt LEDs are cheaper now than they've ever been, around $2 each, depending on colour.

My LED products:
4 x AI Sol Blues 2 x AI Hydra 2 x AI Hydra 52 4 x Ecoexotic Panorama Pro 1 x Zetlight I jumped on the LED bandwagon right away so I've had LEDs for a while. I like trying new stuff and with no kids I don't catch chit from my wife for buying stuff for my tank. Only problems I have come across is a motherboard that crapped out on one of the Sols and a AI Controllor that died. That's not too bad. Call me lucky but I've had good luck with reliability. I'm not pro LED and if I had a good source in town with a selection of T5 bulbs I'd much rather go that route. IMO T5 gives the best coloration
