LED bulbs are known for their exceptionally long lifespan compared to traditional incandescent bulbs (approx. 1,000 hrs) or even CFLs (approx. 8,000-15,000 hrs). Lifespans of 25,000 to 50,000 hours are common for quality LED bulbs.
The approximate life time of a common electric bulb is 1,000 hrs whereas the approximate life time of a LED bulb is :
