Can LED light strips stay lit for 17 years? !

Can LED light strips actually stay on for 50,000 hours? ! I was shocked!

I just checked the information and almost spat out the coffee

The lifespan of ordinary LED light strips can reach up to 50,000 hours! What does this mean?

If used for 8 hours every day, it can last for a full 17 years!

Even if it stays on 24/7, it can last for more than five years!

Moreover, it doesn't "break down suddenly", but dims extremely slowly. After several years, you may not even notice the change in brightness. No filament, no fuse, not afraid of vibration... Just quietly shining like a perpetual motion machine of light!

The light strip in my living room has been installed for three years. It is kept on until midnight every day, and its brightness is almost the same as the first day. How could this be a lamp? It's simply a "photoelectric ninja" - long-lasting, quiet and reliable!

In the past, I changed incandescent bulbs several times a year. Now, a single LED light strip might be even less frequent than my moving house... Technology is really secretly extending the convenience of our lives!
