Has anyone had issues with these?

Purchased a GU10 from Bunnings yesterday for a new bedside lamp. No issues with set up, managed to turn on/off with Google Assistant a few times. 5 minutes of use all up.

Then about 2 hours later, it went offline both on the GC app and Goolge Home.

Can't manually turn it on anymore..... tried removing it from the lamp and reinstalling it, no good. DOA?

I should have been clear - Arlec brand.

I've got about 40 of the arlec grid connect lights of various types.

2 died within a month or so - bunnings straight swapped them, no issues.

Thanks - went back to bunnings and got it replaced. No more issues.

Must have been a dud.
