WHAT ARE STANDARD BURNING HOURS OF GOOD LED LIGHT?

The standard burning hours (or rated lifespan) of a good quality LED light typically range from 25,000 to 50,000 hours. However, some premium LED products, especially those used in professional or industrial applications, can last up to 100,000 hours or more. This is significantly longer than traditional lighting sources like incandescent (about 1,000 hours) or fluorescent bulbs (about 8,000 to 15,000 hours).

Factors Affecting Burning Hours:

1. Quality of the LED: Higher-quality LEDs from reputable manufacturers tend to last longer. These products often include better materials, improved heat management, and better overall design.

2. Operating Conditions: The lifespan of an LED can be affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and whether the light is used continuously or intermittently.

3. Voltage Stability: LEDs that operate at stable voltage levels tend to have a longer lifespan compared to those subjected to voltage fluctuations.

4. Usage Patterns: Continuous operation, or frequent switching on and off, can affect the overall lifetime, but LED lights still generally outperform other technologies in this regard.

Understanding the Rated Lifespan:

The rated lifespan of an LED light (e.g., 25,000 hours) does not mean that the light will suddenly fail after that time. It typically refers to the number of hours it will operate before its brightness decreases significantly, often around 30% degradation (known as the L70 rating). After this point, the light may still work but at a reduced brightness.

For example:

• A 25,000-hour LED used for 8 hours a day would last approximately 8.5 years before reaching 70% of its initial brightness.

• A 50,000-hour LED used in the same way would last around 17 years before reaching 70% of its original brightness.

In summary, good LED lights are designed to last a long time, typically offering 25,000 to 50,000 hours of burning time, with some top-tier models going even beyond that.
