Lifespan of Citi 048-1212??

[rkymtnman]

How many hours use can I expect out of the above COB? Driven at 80 watts. Actively cooled with CPU cooler.

The Citi data sheet has a continuous operation test of 1000 hours but I can't find info on usable lifespan.

Thanks!

if they last a minute they'll last 50000+ hours at >90% brightness.

50000 hours at only 12 per day is gonna last a long, long time.

24/7 would still be over 2,000 days.

You will probably replace them before 5 yrs is up due to cheaper and better COBs.

upgrading at just the right time is being frugal also. If in 3-5 years, efficiency and output go up 15% or more, time to upgrade! Save money on the ever rising cost of electricity
