Lifespan of GKGD SMD or LED LAMP?

What is LAMP in SMD?
LAMP in SMD is also refer as pixel or dots. LAMP is simply called small LED bulb which lit up and having RGB colors in one LAMP. These pixels combinedly make picture on display.
What is estimated lifespan of GKGD LED LAMP?
Before we discuss the estimated lifespan of SMD displays, it's important to understand the difference between indoor and outdoor SMD screens. These two types are specifically engineered to perform in their respective environments, having a basic understanding of this distinction i-e which factor affects lifespan of indoor and outdoor SMD screens is essential before diving deeper into the topic.
INDOOR SMD Screens:
These factors affect life of indoor SMD screens
1) High indoor temperature and humidity.
2) Dust in environment

3) SMD display use for long duration daily.
4) Voltage fluctuation can damage SMD modules and power supplies
5) Overall quality of PCB and LED lamps if module is from reputable brand, it will last longer, maintain brightness better and resist the color shift or patches in display.
OUTDOOR SMD Screens:
These factors affect the life of outdoor SMD screens.
1) During installation improper sealing or inadequate water proofing can lead water ingress and corrosion
2) Running at full brightness in sunlight can burn out LED lights quickly.
3) Without proper heat dissipation LED chips age faster.

4) Humidity in environment shorten overall life.
5) Poorly designed iron structure or cabinet can trap heat and reduce airflow inside screen.
 
Estimated Lifespan:
A high-quality SMD/LED lamp is claimed by the manufacturer to have a lifespan of 100,000 hours. However, this figure is typically based on ideal conditions. Even under such conditions, the performance of the lamp will degrade over time. So, while reaching 100,000 hours is theoretically possible, some level of degradation is inevitable i-e losing brightness etc.

First, let's calculate the estimated lifespan based on the manufacturer's claim.
Assuming the display operates 24 hours a day:

• Total estimated lifespan = 100,000 hours
• This translates to approximately 11 years, 2 months, and 11 days

However, it's highly unlikely that an SMD/LED screen will actually last this long, even under ideal conditions. This figure mainly reflects the theoretical quality of the SMD/LED components, not their guaranteed operational life.
* I am specifically referring to the lifespan of the SMD lamp itself.

What is expected life of GKGD LED LAMP?
Rregarding the lifespan quality of GKGD SMD/LED lamps GKGD is a lamp manufacturing company that also produces LED modules using its own branded lamps. By claiming a lifespan of 100,000 hours, GKGD indicates that it manufactures high-quality lamps.

Now, let’s look at the real-life lifespan of SMD/LED lamps. As mentioned earlier, several indoor and outdoor factors impact their actual longevity. At AL-NOOR SMD Screens, as the sole distributor and supplier of GKGD in Pakistan
Alhamdulillah! we have installed over 500 projects across the country.

Based on our practical experience, the expected lifespan of our installed screens is typically around 5 to 6 years. Considering the environmental factors involved, this is regarded as a good and realistic performances.
Conclusion

This blog aims to help you better understand how to evaluate and interpret the varying lifespan claims made by different LED display brands. While GKGD LED lamps are rated for up to 100,000 hours, real-world conditions often reduce their lifespan. Based on our experience at AL-NOOR SMD Screens, a realistic lifespan is around 5 to 6 years, depending on usage and environmental factors. Proper installation, maintenance and quality components are key to long-lasting performance.
