LED lights have become the most mainstream lighting equipment on the market, beating out many lighting fixtures such as incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lights with their high energy efficiency and long service life. The emergence of LED lights is a milestone breakthrough in lighting equipment, changing the way most of the world lights, and their high efficiency and long service life are well known to everyone.
Compared with traditional incandescent, fluorescent, and halogen bulbs, LED lights are significantly more energy efficient, as evidenced by the amount of heat generated in the studio. The former will generate a lot of heat during the working process due to the way it emits light, while LED lights are more energy efficient and do not generate much heat during the working process, which further enhances the service life of LED lights.
The service life of LED lights is very long, on average, up to 20,000-50,000 hours or even longer, some high-quality LED lights claimed service life up to 10,000 hours. In fact, the service life of LED lights and lanterns depends on the quality of LED chips, the design of lights and lanterns, the use of occasions, and operating conditions. Even the same LED light, in different use occasions will have different service life, so that the service life of LED lights is not fixed.
From the above point of view, an LED light can continue to work for about 7-17 years if it is used for 8 hours a day, and this is under the condition that there are no unexpected situations. The life span of an LED light will be so long mainly because of its unique way of working. The LED light produces light through the movement of electrons in the semiconductor, a semiconductor material that is more efficient and durable.
It's important to note that while LED lights have a long lifespan, they also diminish in brightness over time, a process known as "lumen fade". It's easy to understand that the semiconductor material inside the LED light will inevitably wear out over a long period of time, resulting in a diminishing of the brightness of the light produced.
As mentioned above, the service life of LED lights, in addition to the LED lights themselves, the use of occasions and operating conditions will also affect the service life of LED lights. LED lights working in a humid or dusty environment, the service life will be significantly shortened, such as garage LED lights. On the contrary, indoor LED lights and lanterns, such as bedroom LED lights and living room LED lights, will have a longer service life due to a better environment without humid air and dust.
The operation mode, on the other hand, also has a certain impact on the service life of LED lights and lanterns. The use of incandescent bulbs, if it is fast on and off, for the bulb filament loss is very large, which will greatly reduce the service life of the bulb. LED lights are the same, if the frequency of turning on and off too fast, the LED light chip will be damaged, reducing the service life of the LED lights and lanterns.
In short, the real service life of the LED light how long, which does not have a clear answer. The LED light chip quality, the design of the light, the use of occasions, and operating conditions, will have a certain impact on the service life of the LED light and lanterns. Reasonable use of LED lights and lanterns can enhance the service life of LED lights to a certain extent.
