Hi Allen, The new LED bulbs are rated for 50000 hours, but this is a guess, because they haven't burned out yet even in accellerated life tests :)
Your older LED lamps probably failed because they were using a very small number of LEDs, driven to very high current. Newer LED bulbs use dozens of LEDs, each running at low current. 73, Wayne On Apr 3, 2009, at 2:40 PM, Allen Wisbey wrote: > I hope you have good luck with longevity. > We replaced hundreds of exit light bulbs with LED types at my previous > job.
