LED technology has drastically improved since GE scientist Nick Holonyak, Jr. accidentally invented the light that would replace incandescent bulbs nearly 60 years ago. Since then we’ve left most of the problems of early generation LEDs behind, but many of the myths still persist.

How long will a good LED bulb last in a commercial environment? There are so many products and variables, and many possible answers, so let’s lead with our professional opinion: 2-3 years.
Acknowledging that this is a complex and on some level impossible question to answer, here we will explain how we approach life expectancy in our LED fleet.
