RE: Taking HA too far?



Luxeon Leds have a rating of 100,000 hours or more until they dim to 80%
(I think that's the percentage).
Luxeon's are used in many of the modern Led lighting units.

P.S. to save you calculating it that's more than 11 years on continusly

Does anyone know what life-expectancies for modern "superbright
LEDs"
are?

Even better than SMSing when it was about to blow would be a lightbulb
that didn't blow in the first place :-)
