Check to make sure the fan is working on it. They have thermal protection, so if one gets too hot, it will shut down automatically. The fans are known to go on the Kessils.

The heat sinks on them should also be regularly cleaned out, especially if your place is dusty or you have other pets. On the large cans it's quite easy, heat is what kills LED's prematurely.

Do not just blow compressed air or use one of the datavacs on them without blocking the fan blade so it can't freely spin, that can also damage the fixture.
