Yes. Three of these tubes failed, including this one.

These fixtures look like they are either recent or they have retrofit kits fitted to them but that one cover on the EOL fixture looks like it was baked in the desert. Makes me wonder what happened, More than likely that cover was part of the retrofit kit, it should not have baked like that, especially with the LED tube. Perhaps the EOL tube overheated? The other light beside it looks fine

Yeah, retrofit LED tubes are crap, to be honest. Almost any LED retrofit tube brand is crap.
