How long before I need a new OPI LED lamp?

[FakeBakeLover99]

Hey fellow Opi Gelcolor users!

I always see people who toys CND need to change their bulbs every so often for the lamp but I know you can't change bulbs for LED so I was wondering how long the opi lamp will last before I need to change it and how the heck do I Tell if it's not as effective ?

Thanks [emoji173]️

Most LED are supposed to last 50,000 hours I think

I'm pretty sure LEDs are supposed to last until they die and stop working, however I'm not entirely sure if the output weakens as they age, which may affect you lamps ability to cure your nail products. You're best contacting OPI as they should have the information you need.

Output can and does weaken, but look at it this way
50000 hours divided by 24 hours in a day = 2083 days of life
2083 days divided by 365 days in a year = 5.7 years of use approximately

You are not going to run the lamp 24 hours a day. It will probably not even be 8 hours a day. It would probably only be an hour or two total use per day.

Bottom line, the LEDs should outlast the actual lamp
