LED lights last much longer than conventional incandescent light bulbs. Most manufacturers estimate that LED bulbs can last between 10 and 15 years, but they more often last between four and seven years with regular use. Other factors, such as heat exposure and surging electrical currents, can cause an LED bulb to burn out prematurely.

Security lights perform the best when placed in entry points like garages, front doors, porches, and backdoors. Landscaping lighting like pathway lamps will also make it more difficult to conceal themselves on their way to your home, increasing the likelihood that you or a neighbor will spot them before they arrive. 

A wafer light lasts about 30,000 to 50,000 hours, depending on the quality and usage. Doing the math translates to approximately 10 to 20 years of regular use. LED wafer lights are known for their energy efficiency and longevity, significantly outlasting traditional incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. 

Factors such as usage patterns, operating environment, and stability and consistency of the electrical supply influence their life span. Regular use in a residential setting ensures these lights provide long-term, reliable illumination with minimal maintenance.

Wet-rated, recessed-style shower lighting is most often recommended by electrical experts for use in a shower. This is because recessed lights are designed with a sealed flush-to-ceiling mount with the light housing and electrical junction box situated in a hole in the ceiling, away from splashing water. The packaging for any light should detail whether it’s suitable for a shower.
