Lifespan Of An LED
What does service life mean for SANlight?
As a producer of LED lights for horticulture, we can choose from an almost unmanageable variety, the right LED for our products. Besides performance and price, lifetime is one of the most important indicators that influence our selection.How to measure lifetime
In the technical world of LED, lifetime is defined by aging over time. Each LED ages and thus loses performance. But different LED types also age at different rates. In addition, temperature, operating current, chemicals and humidity dramatically affect the life of LED. In 2011, the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America published the first paper defining and standardizing the corresponding measurement methods. The service life specifications are now subject to the DIN IEC/PAS 62 717 standard.Since LED shine for a very long time, the tests for service life would require several years. Therefore, the standard defines that LED may be tested under extreme conditions, and the results can then be extrapolated back to normal ambient conditions. The result of such lifetime tests are then the LM or L values. However, the lifetime can refer to different losses. SANlight specifies the LM90 value as the lifetime. This means, for example, that our EVO-Series has only lost 10% of its light output after 90,000 hours of operation.
Factors influencing the service life of LED are…
LED quality
As described in our other blog, not all LED are the same. The most serious differences in lifetime can be seen with Midpower LED. The pictures below show you the lifetime data of two different midpower LED from the same manufacturer. The left picture shows the lifetime of the Seoul 3030-C12C LED, which we use in our EVO-Series. It can be seen that this LED still has 90% of its power after 60,000 hours of operation, even at an operating temperature of very hot 105°C. The right picture shows the aging of a much cheaper 3528 LED, which was tested under the same conditions. This LED has already lost 10% of its initial light output after 20,000 hours.Illuminating Engineering Society of North America published the first paper defining and standardizing the corresponding measurement methods. The service life specifications are now subject to the DIN IEC/PAS 62 717 standard.

This means, for example, that our EVO-Series has only lost 10% of its light output after 90,000 hours of operation.
LED operating temperature
Another decisive factor for the longevity is the operating temperature of the LED. In the SANlight EVO-Series, the LED are optimally cooled via the very large heat sink. In practice, this means that the LED does not get warmer than 70°C at a room temperature of 30°C.In addition, the heat sink is designed for the rough use in the greenhouse. This means:
- Even heavy pollution of the heat sink does not lead to overheating of the LED
- The heat sink is easy to clean
- Ambient temperatures of up to 50°C are technically no problem – such temperatures often occur in greenhouses directly under the roof
Chemicals and moisture
In horticulture, a wide variety of chemicals are brought into the grow room via the fertilizer. Professional growers regularly evaporate sulfur in their greenhouses to protect their plants from fungal diseases. A relative humidity of up to 90% is not uncommon.All this negatively affects the life of the LED. Therefore, it is very important to protect the LED from these influences in the best possible way. Poorly protected leds rarely reach the stated lifetimes in practice. The picture below shows a part of a LED light which has been used for more than one year in rough indoor conditions. Sulfur was regularly evaporated to prevent fungal diseases. On closer inspection, the oxidation of the reflector (black spots) can be seen on the LED. The light output has reduced by 25%.

I think 3 weeks is adequate to turn most plants around. From weak, to flower worthy. 2 weeks really, but the third week could be useful. A full month is nice, but with many of us using our flower space (with it's space and better lighting) to turn them around, this time turning them around, could be costly.
However it is done, it's not something to ignore.
I like the full steam ahead approach. I wouldn't want to use lower light to limit that transition growth. Limiting growth at this time, has never been good for me. The annoying stretch is hard to plan for, but I aim to keep that time using my bloom space to veg in, to a minimum. Relying on the transition after 12/12 to finish the veg. It is a bit more intensive though, powering through the transition, catering with rapid growth spurts. It's never a great idea to have plants in holding though. Even though it may be a necessity. The bonsai trade shows us that holding a plant back, produces offspring that can take generations to recover. It's an extreme example, but shows the path plants will take, to adapt to their environment. Then the cautionary approach they take to growing too big afterwards.
I think transition is a necessary evil. The type of growth during this time, being different to what we see in veg. Plant response to P might be the biggest change. Where it strongly influences plant size during transition.

THE MORE GROWING I SEE THE MORE IT REMINDS ME OF A ORCHESTRA
An orchestra (/ˈɔːrkɪstrə/; OR-ki-strə)[1] is a large instrumental ensemble typical of classical music, which combines instruments from different families. There are typically four main sections of instruments:
- String instruments, such as the violin, viola, cello, and double bass
- Woodwinds, such as the flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and occasional saxophone
- Brass instruments, such as the horn, trumpet, trombone, cornet, euphonium, and tuba
- Percussion instruments, such as the timpani, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tambourine, tam-tam and mallet percussion instruments

Im gonna follow along with what you guys suggest the format should be for listing those items
As far as I know they are high voltage 240V+ AND SUPER INTENSE
I have a few items Phillips is a major player on that list, suggestion well taken
Thank you!
Theres a few on the residential list that would pass for the vertical shelf tiered farming indoors

Philips seems to keep their branding out of site on the cannabis scene. It was interesting to watch Fluence get bought by Osram, then Philips. Philips buying a company that uses the competitions parts.
I'm sure that changed quite quickly, without any 'boat rocking' fanfare.
Philips were already established under another badge, all 4 brands mentioned, do a lot of 'hands on' reasearch. Out in the field, and in their own grow chambers. It's well worth looking at the lights they try and sell us. Even if just for clues.
Spoiler: They like R60. White light, with 40% of the output, shared between Blue and Green. 60% red (R60) that's usually reached by adding 660s to a warmer white.
@acespicoli
I like a good perpetual grow to look at. It's usually perpetual work though. I'm having time off from being a good grower, but did have a 7 week thing going on. After two years, I hadn't slipped a day. I had actually got ahead by 2.
That wasn't perpetual, it was the rota. Plants gave the next cuttings, as they themselves were put into bloom. That gives the cuttings as long as it takes to bloom, to be ready to take their mums place. In that case, 7 weeks. 7 weeks is nice with fairly typical spacing. It's 3 weeks to root. Even if you can root faster, give it three to widen the gap between the best and worst one's (keeping the best 50% only). After that 3 weeks rooting, 4 weeks veg can produce. Maybe the first 2 weeks they do little, but the next two, it's all good for 4-5 plants per meter.
8 weeks plants are not so forgiving. That 5th week of veg, is just too long. Even with hard pruning, you get plants capable of great height. So more training work is created, which means more reordering of the main heads.
If you have 12 week flowering plants, You can think about taking your cuttings a week before flipping. The mum should be well, at that point. This is 13 weeks before you need them. So you have 6 weeks to get some more mums up.
I like the 7 or 8 week rota myself. I don't want to do every job in the hotel, all at the same time. I like to take my cuts, then have a day riding the lift. Next day I might carry some bags. Day after, clean some tubs. Then ride the lift again. Only really getting busy, when the old girls have to go. So you can clean the beds, before the new girls arrive.
New seeds are started about 3 days before taking any cutting they are to live with. At about 3 weeks of veg (after 3 rooting), your best cuts and your new seed, should be equals. A week later, and seed plants should be able to give up some cuts, and go into bloom with the batch of cuts it grew up with. This ties in new seed plant trials, with the running rota, just nice. Doing seeds at any other time, can feel like I took another crop on. Mixing it its own food, and giving it it's own potting days. Making it space, that I don't want to. For no actual gain, as it's eventual rota was on the calender, before it was even born. There is no free will in this matrix. You are not special. Don't be so demanding.
Sorry. I might be having issues lol
I'm sure that changed quite quickly, without any 'boat rocking' fanfare.
Philips were already established under another badge, all 4 brands mentioned, do a lot of 'hands on' reasearch. Out in the field, and in their own grow chambers. It's well worth looking at the lights they try and sell us. Even if just for clues.
Spoiler: They like R60. White light, with 40% of the output, shared between Blue and Green. 60% red (R60) that's usually reached by adding 660s to a warmer white.

I like a good perpetual grow to look at. It's usually perpetual work though. I'm having time off from being a good grower, but did have a 7 week thing going on. After two years, I hadn't slipped a day. I had actually got ahead by 2.

Growing your cannabis with the use of LED will generate higher yield per square meter compared to growing with other light sources.
That made me laugh but its genius at work, very enjoyable read
