How long does LED Strip Lighting last?
LED Strip Lights have a long-expected lifespan compared to the typical incandescent lights. On average, LED Strip Light can last up to 50,000 hours equating around six years of continuous use.
Do LED strips burn out?
LED lights do burn out however, they have an extremely long expected lifespan. LED lights get gradually dimmer instead of burning out suddenly like traditional bulbs. Electricians state that LED lights can dip down to less than 80% of their original brightness within 20,000 hours. Investing in good quality LEDs will decrease the timespan of the burnout.
Poor quality LEDS causes:
· Light fading quickly over a short period of time.
· Fluctuations in brightness and colours.
Therefore, it is important to invest in a good quality LED strip to avoid these issues. All LEDs will burn out eventually, but the speed of the burn out will have an impact base on the quality of the bulb.
Do LED strips catch fire?
It is very unlikely for LED strips to catch fire due to the efficiency and low heat output. However, even though it is unlikely for LED strips to catch fire, it is still important to install the light properly by following the manual to keep your home safe. Additionally, take precautions such as turning off the lights after a long period of time and when leaving the room/house. Traditional incandescent bulbs are hotter than LED strips therefore, LED strips are a safer alternative!
