All of the cheaper brand of Lowe's and Home Depot LEDs are absolutely terrible about this. In my experience. They work for a couple months and then flicker and die.

Which really sucks because the cheaper LEDs are still more expensive and don't last as long as the equivalent incandescent bulbs

Yeah, my local store is only carrying Noma LED bulbs, and they crap out on me so fast. Super annoying.
