Possibly it falls under the category of "seriously overvolt", but there seem
to be a lot of high-power LEDs on the market with much shorter average
lifetimes.  

But I have not seen any LED fixtures that intend to allow for user
replacement of the LEDs.  That's not to say you couldn't do it, but it will
probably involve solder and glue.
