How long can LED lights last?

Many LEDs have a rated life of up to 50,000 hours. This is approximately 50 times longer than a typical incandescent, 20-25 times longer than a typical halogen, and 8-10 times longer than a typical CFL. Used 12 hours a day, a 50,000 bulb will last more than 11 years. read more

While it can vary slightly depending on the bulb, on average LED light bulbs last over 50,000 hours. That would be almost six years if left on twenty-four hours, seven days a week. read more

It’s true that LEDs (short for Light-Emitting Diode) can last a very long time, but the circuitry inside of an LED bulb is way more complex than anything ever seen in a light bulb before— especially with dimmable LED bulbs, which require even more circuitry. read more

Happy to take the thought process from my own shelf life to that of an LED, I began to wonder if that 50,000, 35,000, or 25,000 hours of use from an LED could possibly be accurate. For one thing, I don’t mark down the date of purchase for my LEDs. read more
