Full LED lifespan thanks to reliable and durable aluminum electrolytic capacitors

Full LED lifespan thanks to reliable and durable aluminum electrolytic capacitors

We published the following article in 2017: “A lifespan of 100,000 hours or more poses no challenge for an LED, but what about the other components?

Through targeted further development, aluminum electrolytic capacitors can also achieve an enormous lifespan. This characteristic is not only a successful development from an ecological perspective but also a good application criterion for manufacturers of LED lamps with LED drivers. Many electrolytic capacitors suffer from dehydration after just 10,000 hours due to lack of space and heat input, thereby losing their function, resulting in a destroyed LED lamp.

Capacitors from FROLYT Kondensatoren und Bauelemente GmbH do not exhibit this weakness thanks to technical know-how and targeted material use. FROLYT perfects the system design of the capacitor so that it works in optimal interaction with an LED.”

Today, we have followed up and present new evaluations on lifespan in the diagram.
