hi i have led bulbs throughout my house but what I've noticed is they blow very often i have also the spiral eco bulbs as well they never blow what I've noticed is we get light flicker usually in the evening the voltage at 9 this morning was 240.5vac now its 2401.6vac evening it can get as low as 210vac im wondering is the flicker coming from voltage spikes? Thinking about this is it a possibility to add y caps to the bulbs to try to avoid these spikes blowing the bulbs just a theory as I'm writing this I've got the fluke on auto hold monitoring the vac its just jumped to 238.9vac

Probably you just have crappy bulbs with no real LED driver. Point smartphone camera towards a bulb and see if there is any flickering on display.

I'm working through replacing led lamps in each room with recessed WWA LED strip.
Warm white , Cool White, Amber.
Unlike your typical LED lamp that runs very hot. An LED strip can last for 10+ years if you keep them running cool.
