One of the best thing about LEDs is they use multiple LEDs to provide the light. Unless the driver dies, loss of a couple of the LEDs will barely affect output.
Very good advice here. Color temperature is important, different temps for different living areas. Otherwise walking into areas of your house can be like walking into a 7-11 at 3am after leaving a dimly lit bar.
