Which 5 main factors will affect the service life of LED lights

If you use a light source for a long time, you will get huge economic benefits and reduce your carbon footprint. According to the system design, the luminous flux reduction is a normal process, but it can be ignored. When the luminous flux decreases very slowly, the system will maintain a good condition without long maintenance.

Compared with other light sources in many applications, LED light suppliers are undoubtedly more outstanding. In order to keep the system in good condition, the following 5 factors need to be considered.

Efficiency

LED lights  and LED modules are manufactured and driven within a specific current range. According to its characteristics, LEDs with currents ranging from 350mA to 500mA can be provided. Many systems are driven in the high value region of this current range.

Acidic conditions

Under some acidic conditions, LEDs are also easily affected, such as in coastal areas with high salt content, in factories that use chemicals or manufacturing products, or in indoor swimming pools. Although LEDs are also manufactured for these areas, they must be carefully packaged in a fully enclosed enclosure and have a high IP protection level.

Calories

Heat affects the luminous flux and life cycle of LEDs. The radiator can prevent the system from overheating. The heating of the system means that the allowable ambient temperature of the LED lamp has been exceeded. The life of the LED depends on the ambient temperature.

Mechanical stress

When manufacturing, stacking or simply operating LEDs, mechanical stress will also affect the life of the LED lamp, and sometimes even completely destroy the LED lamp. Pay attention to electrostatic discharge (ESD), as this can cause short but high current pulses that can damage the LED and LED driver.

Humidity

The performance of LED suppliers also depends on the humidity of the surrounding environment. Because in a humid environment, electronic equipment, metal parts, etc. tend to be damaged quickly and begin to rust, so try to keep the LED system from moisture.
