What are the factors that affect the life of LED strips?

LED light strips are widely used in various places for their long life, easy installation, and energy saving. The long lifespan is the most representative parameter. Therefore, the service life of the LED light box light bar has become one of the most concerned issues in the industry. Whether it is for the LED light bar manufacturers or users, it is necessary to understand the factors affecting the life of the LED strip lights. There are three main factors that affect the life of the LED strips:


1. The quality of the lamp bead directly affects the service life of the LED strip. The LED is composed of a variety of materials, and the quality of each material is totally different. For example, the heat dissipation of the pure copper bracket is superior to that of the iron bracket and the aluminum bracket. The materials vary widely, and the connecting wires are also divided into gold wires and gold-plated wires. Therefore, the quality of the LED is inseparable from the quality of the raw materials used. A good and stable LED is inevitably the most stable combination of various materials. The theoretical lifespan of LED strip lights can reach more than 50,000 hours. However, due to improper competition in the market, some packaging factories have chosen the inferior raw materials in order to reduce costs, thus greatly affecting the service life of LED strips.

2. The service life of LED light box light strip is closely related to the heat dissipation of PCB. The heat dissipation performance of PCB directly affects the series of common problems such as whether the material structure of LED light strip is stable and the light decay is serious. Therefore, whether to use a high thermal conductivity PCB also plays a very important role in the service life of the LED lights.

3. When the driving current of the LED light box light bar is greater than the rated current, the light decay will be increased. The lower the driving current of the LED light box light bar, the smaller the heat, the lower the brightness. Increasing the drive current exceed the rated current, the heat of the LED light box light bar rises, which will shorten the service life.
