How long do LED stadium lights last?
LED stadium lights typically offer a lifespan of 50,000 to 100,000 hours, equivalent to 10–20 years under standard use (5–10 hours daily). However, real-world longevity depends on several critical factors:
1. Thermal Management
LEDs dissipate ~70% of their energy as heat, making thermal management critical. Poor heat regulation can accelerate degradation, shortening lifespan. Enclosed designs, like the AEON Sports Light, protect sensitive components from environmental exposure, enhancing durability.
2. Component Reliability
While LEDs themselves are long-lasting, drivers and other electronics are common failure points. Field-serviceable designs allow driver replacement, though lack of standardization complicates maintenance.
3. Environment
Moisture, dust, or voltage spikes reduce durability.
4. Energy Efficiency and Maintenance Savings
LEDs reduce energy consumption by up to 50% compared to traditional lighting (e.g., metal halide or high-pressure sodium), with lower maintenance costs due to fewer replacements.
5. Technological Evolution
Rapid advancements in LED technology may lead to design changes, potentially affecting interchangeability and long-term serviceability.
For optimal performance, ensure proper installation, thermal design, and adherence to manufacturer maintenance guidelines.
