OK, I didn't know if there was a simple & cheap way to run a stress
test.
I once communicated with a Ham years ago who's company moto was
"You make it. we break it" - their business was stress testing.
What a great job!
I've observed a near-50% failure rate in outside solar LED lights,
at least in the climates of Florida and Georgia, and most have
been repaired via resoldering poor connections.
No RFI problems with the indoor LED lights I've tried so far,
just early failure of some incandescent-replacement bulbs,
which were early production very cheap models.
