What is the life of an LED Light?
LED lights have a theoretical useful life of over 50,000 hours compared to a useful life of 1,000 hours for a traditional incandescent bulb. Some will continue to operate up to 100,000 hours. The useful life of a bulb is the point at which the light output of the bulb has decayed to 70% of its original light output. This means that a single LED light will theoretically last over 17 years if operated 8 hours per day. • LED Lights are expensive. Do I really save? Absolultely Yes ! The payback period of the initial investment of the LED bulb is 1-2 years. Thereafter you will save on the reduced electrical consumption at an estimated $27.36 per bulb (replacement of a 60w bulb) each year for the life of the LED bulb. In addition, you will not pay for the replacement cost of the incandescent bulb every 1,000 hours or spend time replacing bulbs in hard to reach places! • Why should I switch to LED lights rather than CFL bulbs? First, LED lights are 30-50 % more efficient than CFL (compact flu
