In the age of advanced technology, where electronic products have become indispensable in our daily lives, understanding their service life is very important.
The durability of an electronic product not only establishes the period during which it can perform its functions effectively, but is also an indicator of the quality and sustainability inherent in its design and manufacturing process.
From smartphones to home automation devices, every electronic component is subject to an effective operating period after which its performance may begin to decline.
Example of lifespan of an electronic product
This lifespan is influenced by multiple factors, including the quality of the materials, the engineering of the product, the use and maintenance it receives, as well as the operating environment.
Therefore, when calculating the lifetime of an electronic product, such as a luminaire or LED bulb, etc., we enter a realm of analysis of the factors that influence it, ranging from physical reliability and performance as well as its heat dissipation, luminous flux and power consumption, among others.
This knowledge is not only vital for consumers to make informed decisions, but also for manufacturers and designers looking to create durable and environmentally responsible products.
In the field of lighting, LED technology has made its mark in terms of efficiency and durability. However, to fully understand the lifetime of an LED luminaire, it is essential to delve into the technical factors that determine it.
Over time, the electronic components of an LED light source undergo natural wear and tear. This process is gradual and manifests itself in reduced luminous efficiency and changes in the quality of the light emitted.
LEDs, like any other lighting device, are susceptible to dust and dirt accumulation. This coating can interfere with luminous efficacy and light distribution, affecting overall product performance.
Oxidation of internal components, especially in humid or corrosive environments, can deteriorate the quality of light and reduce the life of the LED.
LEDs are extremely sensitive to changes in ambient temperatures. Excessive heat can cause premature aging, while very low temperatures can affect light output.
Improper installation can cause premature failure for an LED to perform. This includes everything from poor electrical connection to choosing an inappropriate location for the fixture’s placement.
To estimate the lifetime of an LED product, the parameter known as “L70” is used. This indicates the point at which the luminous output of the LED is reduced to 70% of its original value, at which point significant luminous depreciation is considered to have begun. This criterion is widely accepted in the lighting industry for measuring the lifetime of LEDs.
To maximize the lifetime of an LED product, it is critical to consider proper maintenance. This includes regular cleaning to prevent dust accumulation and checking the condition of the fixture. In addition, factors such as proper thermal control and protection against moisture and oxidation should be considered.
In the specific case of LED lighting, although they are notably more resistant to the effects of frequent switching on and off compared to traditional lighting technologies such as incandescent or fluorescent bulbs, they are not completely exempt from impact.
However, degradation is much less pronounced, as LEDs do not rely on filaments or components that wear out as quickly with on/off cycling.
