Service life and failure rate
When used in combination with LED modules, a driver's service life and failure rate are further key criteria. In practical application, care should be taken to ensure components perfectly match to prevent damaging the system due to the presence of an "inferior" component.
High-quality drivers provide a service life of ≥ 50,000 hours with a failure rate of 0.2% per 1,000 hours. Low-performance devices come with a service life of 30,000 hours and failure rates of 0.5% per 1,000 hours.
