Thank you for visiting this Bulbsthatlast4ever™ Web-page. You have most likely visited this web-page seeking to find out more about Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
Please read the information that has been provided below.

WHY CHOOSE LEDS?:
A light-emitting diode (LED) is essentially a PN junction semiconductor diode that emits light when current is applied. By definition, it is a solid-state device that controls current without heated filaments and is therefore very reliable. LED performance is based on very simple concept:

How exactly does a LED work?
This is a very simple explanation if we discuss it relating to construction and function of the LED. For example, a White LEDs need about 3.0VDC and use approximately 20 milliamps (0.02 A) of current, with a power dissipation of 60 milliwatts (0.06 Watts). The positive voltage is applied to the anode of the LED.
While the other side the negative is applied to the cathode. It is the fundamental chemical composition of the LED chip determines the color of the light the LED produces. The epoxy resin body/lens has two functions. It is designed to allow the most light to escape from the chip, also protects the LED chip from the elements, and while the reflector determines the viewing angle.

As you can see, the entire unit is totally embedded in epoxy.
This is what makes LEDs virtually indestructible, a very good reason to use LEDs on any vehicle. There are no loose or moving parts within the solid epoxy enclosure. This is also the main reason that LEDs are good choice for use on vehicles such as motorcycles or any other applications subjective to large amounts of vibration.
Operating Life Span
Because LEDs are solid-state devices they are not subject to catastrophic failure when operated within design parameters. Most LEDs are designed to
operate upwards of 100,000 hours (12+ years) at ambient temperatures. Operating life is characterized by the degradation of LED intensity over time. When the
LED degrades to half of its original intensity after 100,000 hours it is at the end of its useful life although the LED will continue to operate as output diminishes. Unlike standard incandescent bulbs, LEDs resist shock and vibration and can be cycled on and off without excessive degradation.
This is another high point why LEDs should be used on your vehicle. They virtually "Last-4ever".
