How long do fairy lights last?

High-quality fairy lights can last 25,000 to 50,000 hours or even longer. These lights are usually made of better materials and more durable components. The following factors affect their lifespan:

Quality factors：

• Light bulb: High-quality LED bulbs are one of the key factors that determine the life of fairy lights. High-quality LED bulbs use better semiconductor materials and manufacturing processes, and have higher luminous efficiency and stability.

• Wire quality: High-quality wires are made of pure copper or copper alloy materials, have good conductivity and flexibility, and can withstand multiple bending and pulling without breaking easily. At the same time, the insulation layer of the wire should also have good heat resistance, cold resistance and wear resistance to ensure safe use in various environments.

• Power Quality: A stable power supply is essential to the life of fairy lights. A high-quality power adapter can provide stable voltage and current, protecting the LED bulbs from voltage fluctuations.

Environmental factors：

• Indoor environment: If fairy lights are used indoors, the environment is relatively stable, and factors such as temperature, humidity, and dust have little effect on them. For example, fairy lights decorated in indoor spaces such as bedrooms and living rooms can maintain a long service life as long as they are avoided from frequent pulling and collision and cleaned regularly.

• Outdoor environment: Temperature changes, wind and sun, rain and snow in the outdoor environment can cause damage to various parts of fairy lights. If you want to use fairy lights outdoors, you need to choose special outdoor products, which usually have better waterproof, dustproof, sun-proof and anti-aging properties. At the same time, regular inspection and maintenance are required, and damaged bulbs and wires should be replaced in time to ensure their safe use.

How to use:

• Use time: The length of time a fairy light is used directly affects its lifespan. If used continuously for a long time, the temperature of the bulb and wire will rise, accelerating the aging process. For example, some commercial places may keep fairy lights on for months or even longer in order to create an atmosphere, which will greatly shorten its lifespan.

• Switching frequency: Frequent switching of fairy lights will also affect their lifespan. Each time the light is switched on and off, the current will change instantly, causing a certain impact on the bulb and power supply. If the switching frequency is too high, it is easy to cause bulb damage or power failure. In order to extend the lifespan of fairy lights, it is recommended to minimize unnecessary switching operations.
