Once again you're an eejit. I should not be surprised.

Only an eejit thinks all LEDs are the same.

quite. Did anyone claim they were, or are you just making stuff up again?

So why believe all LEDs have the same life expectancy.

I've no idea why you believe that. I doubt anyone else does. Certainly no-one claimed to.


Even then you have the PSU that will have a shorter life than the LEDs have.

Not usually

Yes if yuo expect LED's to last 5+ years

depends on the LEDs

take a look at the capacitors in the encapsulated lights, I had one fail last week, the LEDs still work though, they come on whehn cold but as the LED lamp heats up they start flickering then go off, then a while later they flicker on again this is a sign that the caps are drying out as they do all all capacitors over time.

and?

This LED lamp is in a hallway and has been there since about 2006, so it's not done bad one failed last year similar fashion, all 4 LEDs flash that shows it NOT a single LED that has gone faulty.

you're trying to draw across the board conclusions from a sample of 1 again?
