What determine lifespan of a LED flood light?

Once you decided that what you need was the most innovative technology in lighting industry, the Light Emitting Diode lights, you knew that you were taking some risk.

One of your concerns was the lifespan.

Does LED lights really live so long as they claim? You doubted.

You came to friends for help. They were all honest, friendly, and gave out every details. However, you were more confused when you came home.

Somebody told you that they almost forgot his/her 50 watt LED flood light in the garden for it smooth operation. In the other hand, somebody are quite annoyed for frequent failure of their brand new 5 watt LED panel light.

What the heck is this? You wondered.

The answers are here. You need to know what determine the lifespan of a LED flood light.

First of all, you have to check the core component of any LED light: the Light Emitting Diode, or the chip as manufacturers called.
To fully understand all the factors and measurements of LED chip, you might need to attend a master degree seminar. Here I put it short: Just use those big brands, such as Cree, Osram and LG. Ask your supplier the brand of chip, if they give you a name you can’t recognize, be careful. Big brands are more expensive, but run longer, and own a better ROI.

Then you go to the drivers. Be sure of three
Drivers provide constant current.
Drivers are water-proof.
Drivers are compatible to your local voltage or widely compatibly.

Last but not least, you should pay attention to the case. In fact for LED flood light, case deals with wind, rain and sunshine directly, which requires stable constructure and resilient design.

Hope you find the best suppliers in LED flood lights. If you get more questions, please feel free to contact us at blog@ledcornlight.com or visit website of Tek Lighting, the professional LED flood lighting manufacturer.

When it comes to light efficiency, LED product is, out of question, the best choice you can think of. Usually,  LED flood light produces the same light in lumens with 50% of energy, compared to halogen flood bulb.
