led got picked up over HPS when the efficiency start to shine. Not the spectrum quality.
I'd say it depends on things like how much space you are lighting and what you pay for power and how much having less heat factors into your situation and to a lesser extent bulb replacement. If you are replacing a lot of bulbs though it's going to cost you that much more to switch to LED. I think LED spectrum and efficiency will continue to improve faster than HID though. .02
So much of the data produced is probability(expected) data, I believe as the real performance data rolls along it keeps shifting the probability to better numbers. I recall when XPG released some years ago the early long term summaries were listed at approx 80-90K hours, the last time I looked they were at like 496,000 hours, based on around 30000 hours of actual running data
thats acceptable...... i guess
well the meme been posted that much he is dead to me lol
The key word in this is: projection.
COBs are INVINCIBLE, BRAH!!
yet there are industry standards for predictive failure in every single segment of the electronics industry
I have never in my life seen one that predicts 56 years into the future. Typically, by the time 10 years goes by, the technology you're using is redundant.
Just goes to show you're once again spewing complete junk.
Where are you getting these numbers? I don't know what top secret internal files you have access to, but this is what they tell the plebs:
yep, would not say they were secret, just not published, Cree has reams of long term summary data, what they choose to reveal in public data sheets is I guess a marketing decision. To be honest I am not sure I would publish that data either, a led that lasts a half million hours, what use is that, who will live long enough to verify and does anyone care. I am interested in the fact they have the technology to do it and that kind of tech feeds into all their products and it tells me what data is published is rock solid
