V Tac GU10 LED Lamps. Found a small quantity in Barry, Glamorgan, but could be in all stores, stock allowing. These are 5W (320lm output) which should be faily bright. They claim a 2 year warranty. Will probably be brighter than the ones in Poundland. Worth a try! Didnt buy one so cannot comment any further.

Not only that, some of the cheapest ones are also very poorly made and potentially pose a shock risk. (There are plenty of tear-downs on Youtube showing this).

£1.99 ones amongst the brightest. I replaced all my gu10's over two years ago (approx 50 bulbs) have had to replace 3 or 4 in over 2 year's that's quality.

6-8% failure rate? Not that quality really.

For LED bulbs I find that they rarely last for more than 6 months.
Sometimes 1 month.
So, if a LED bulb actually lasts for 2 years, that would be impressive.
My longest lasting LED bulb (I've used many different brands), I think is around 6 months.

Wont vote hot or cold as I don't know the qualify without using. I have spent alot of money on gu10 LEDs over the last few years usually on the strength of good reviews and have never been impressed either with brightness or last ability. I've bought Philips, every ready and other less know makes and would not recommend any strongly. In the middle of last year I bought some pro lec ones from CPC Farnel and have found the 5w version to be brighter than standard 40w, and so far(touch wood)I have had no failures and at around £2 per bulb they so far seem well worth it.

What brands have you used? I would suggest something is wrong with your wiring or you are not actually buying 'branded' LEDs if they are failing that soon and that regularly.
I've replaced all the lighting in my house with a combination of Verbatim and Philips LED and not had a single failure. One of the points of LED is the long lifespan - 20,000 hours plus.
