The lifetime of incandescent and LED lights is extremely dependent on the temperature at which they run – for incandescents, GE says it’s the inverse of the 7th power of the voltage – the voltage increases and the lifetime decreases. In the case of LEDs the problem is most designs sacrifice thermal management to get

Blinking LEDs are usually reset by the voltage dropping to zero then coming back on. So if one LED, probably the fastest one, blinks first, all the rest in the series string will be reset, then comeback on again when the fastest one comes back on. So you have essentially a single blinking LED and
