How long do micro LED lights last?

As a gardening and landscaping expert, I have had the opportunity to work with various types of lighting, including micro LED lights. These lights are becoming increasingly popular for adding a touch of magic and ambiance to outdoor spaces. One common question that arises is, “How long do micro LED lights last?”

When it comes to micro LED lights constructed on thin uncoated wire, you can expect them to last over 100 hours on a fresh set of batteries. These lights are often powered by either 3 AA batteries or 2 round C-style batteries. The thin wire construction allows for flexibility and versatility in how they can be used. Whether you want to wrap them around tree branches, drape them along a fence, or create a stunning centerpiece, these lights will continue to shine brightly for many hours.

On the other hand, standard LED battery light sets with thicker insulation and LED lenses typically have a shorter battery life. With a fresh set of 3 AA batteries, you can expect these lights to last about 18-24 hours. The thicker insulation and LED lenses provide added durability and protection to the lights, but this can also slightly reduce their overall battery life.

It is important to note that the actual lifespan of micro LED lights can vary depending on various factors. One of the main factors is the quality of the batteries used. High-quality batteries tend to last longer and provide consistent power to the lights. Additionally, the intensity of the lights can also impact their lifespan. Dimmer settings or using a timer to turn the lights off when not needed can help prolong their battery life.

From personal experience, I have found that micro LED lights can create a mesmerizing atmosphere in outdoor settings. Whether used for accent lighting in a garden or to highlight certain features in a landscape, their soft glow adds a magical touch to any space. I have seen them used during evening gatherings and events, and they always manage to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Micro LED lights on thin uncoated wire can last over 100 hours with a fresh set of batteries, while standard LED battery light sets with thicker insulation and LED lenses typically last about 18-24 hours on a set of 3 AA batteries. The lifespan of these lights can be influenced by factors such as battery quality and light intensity. Nevertheless, incorporating micro LED lights in your outdoor space can bring a sense of enchantment and beauty that will last for many evenings to come.
