LED Lamps – Signs you need new!
LED bulbs have revolutionized the way we light our homes—offering long-lasting, energy-efficient illumination that outperforms traditional bulbs in just about every way. But even the best LEDs don’t last forever.
On average, LED bulbs should be replaced every 5 to 7 years to keep your lighting system performing at its best.
LED lamps typically don’t “burn out” as traditional light bulbs do. Instead, they gradually degrade and become dimmer over time. Many homeowners are surprised by just how big a difference a refresh can make. What once seemed like an aging, dim setup suddenly feels vibrant and new again. So how do you know if it’s time for a change? Here are the key signs:
1. Your Lights Seem Dimmer Than Before
LEDs lose about 3% of their brightness each year, so the change is gradual—but over time, it adds up. If your outdoor spaces aren’t shining quite like they used to, your system could be overdue for a refresh.
2. The Color Looks Off
Noticing a cooler tone where there used to be a warm glow? Or maybe your fixtures no longer match? Over time, LED bulbs can shift in color temperature or develop inconsistencies that affect the look and harmony of your lighting design.
3. Flickering or Intermittent Light
Flickering can sometimes be caused by loose wiring, but persistent flickers are often a sign that the LED or its connections are failing. If your lights aren’t operating smoothly, it might be time for a replacement.
4. Uneven Lighting or Burnt Out Diodes
LEDs use multiple diodes to emit light. As those diodes begin to fail, you may notice patchy or reduced brightness, or bulbs that stop working entirely. This uneven lighting is a clear indicator that your bulbs are nearing the end of their life.
