This is just a question, I love and use LED's-but how much do they drop in performance per year?
Mine are at least 2+ years old and I'm gonna need to upgrade someday.

Alex should explain as I will butcher the explanation... Essentially their patented LED's dissipate heat much easier and faster then traditional LED's... So their LED's last MUCH longer and at much less light loss... |

Here's a graph that would explain performance after 1 year.  Based on our 3rd party LM80 testing, and 3rd party DEKRA thermal shocking of over 1500 CYCLES, we expect our light engines to LAST AT LEAST 100,000 HOURS, and based on the trendof our testing the efficacy AFTER THE 10 YEAR MARK is expected to drop no more than 10%. Compare that with a GAVITY (2-3 growing cycles) and wirebond COBS (1-3 years). Based on the 1500 cycle of DEKRA thermal shocking test, we seen no less than 3% of increase/decrease of our COBs. CREE only does testing at 200 CYCLES, and they won't last over 200 cycles due to the nature of their WIRE BOND LED COBs. Copy of our DEKRA testing: https://www.starlite-led.com/wp-conte...RA-TESTING.pdf *Also to mention, Cree only does 200 cycles of thermal testing, and they skew this data by saying they do 1000 cycles of thermal testing (but this 1000 cycles only occurs at the solder points and not the LED) Last edited by URSA LED; 04-26-2016 at 11:55 PM.. |

A lot of you might be wondering: "So your fixtures last 10 years?+".
The answer to that question is .. yes, and no. Our light engines do indeed last 10 years / 100000 hours+, however, the drivers on the fixtures are rated for 5 years. Everything except the driver is made in-house at Flip Chip Opto or Starlite LED. We use Meanwell to power our LEDs, and replacing them after 5 years is really no problem at all (it's held on by 4 screws and takes a couple minutes to switch out). Simply speaking if you don't use your lights 24/7 for 5 years straight... they are expected to last forever.... 50,000 - 100,000 hours is a really long ass time. :P Our next rendition of fixtures may include AC chips that remove the driver altogether... plug and play 10+ years... but that's in the works. Our UV Cob is just getting punched out as we speak and we'll have a sample of the UV Cob in a week or two. Last edited by URSA LED; 04-27-2016 at 12:20 AM.. |

I got a few PM's about the difference between Wirebond and 3-PAD... here's a comparison chart.
