High-quality LED neon signs typically have a lifespan ranging from 10 to 15 years, with some signs potentially lasting even longer under optimal conditions.
A precise evaluation of the lifespan of premium, high-quality LED neon signs must take into account all contributing factors, not just the LED strip. The LED strip is only one component in a system of parts that must function together effectively.
Many other neon sign companies often overlook this nuance, leading to inaccurate quoted lifespan numbers that do not reflect the true longevity of their products.
Depending on the quality of the manufacturer, LED neon signs can generally last between 15,000 to 50,000 hours depending on various factors. If we take an average lifespan of 30,000 hours for a mid-range quality LED neon sign, and it is operated for 8 hours per day, we can calculate the expected lifespan as follows:
- Daily Usage: 8 hours
- Annual Usage: 8 hours/day × 365 days/year = 2,920 hours/year
- Estimated Lifespan: 30,000 hours ÷ 2,920 hours/year ≈ 10.3 years
