LED lights typically last around 50,000 hours, with some high-quality brands claiming lifespans up to 100,000 hours
. This translates to roughly 14 years if used about 10 hours per day
, or over 11 years at 12 hours daily use
. The actual lifespan depends on daily usage and environmental factors such as heat and humidity
. Unlike traditional bulbs that burn out abruptly, LEDs gradually dim over time, retaining about 70% of their original brightness at the end of their rated lifespan
. Proper usage and conditions-such as avoiding excessive heat, using compatible fixtures, and turning off lights when not needed-can extend LED lifespan further
. In comparison, LEDs last significantly longer than incandescent bulbs (around 1,000 hours) and halogen bulbs (about 2,000 hours)
. This longevity, combined with energy efficiency, makes LEDs a cost-effective lighting option over time.
