Are you sure there isn't a microdot in the small print with the words
"electrolytic capacitors excepted" printed on it?
"lifetime" is a word of dubious interpretation. Does it mean that it
won't break in that time, that it can be repaired in that time if it
does break, or something else?
If they claimed an MTBF of 50,000 hours, that would be different.
****, I'd generally be happy with 2000 hours MTBF.
