Hello,
I am trying to figure out exactly how hard I can drive my LED's to achieve a decent longevity while having the LED's super bright. I've read that average longevity for an LED is 50,000 hours. How does current and temperature affect the LED's life is essentially what I'm looking for. Clearly the harder you drive the LED and the hotter the environment the less life you get out of the LED. Any one have a rule of thumb or some calculations I could look at?
Thanks
