Degradation

When LEDs lose their brightness and their luminous flux decreases, this is referred to as degradation. As a result, older LED light sources emit less light than they did initially. Even though LED lamps promise a very long service life, their brightness can diminish if used incorrectly or after a very large number of operating hours.  However, the specified service life of LED lights in hours takes this degradation into account. While the LEDs will continue to emit light beyond the specified service life, their brightness will be significantly reduced afterward. With other types of light sources, this degradation process begins much earlier.  If you want to slow down this process, it is essential to ensure the light is used correctly, as improper operating conditions can lead to accelerated aging of the LEDs. These include, for example, overheating, moisture, or chemical exposure. If such adverse conditions are prevented, an LED lamp can achieve a long service life of up to 20 years.
