25k or 50k hours is a legal standard required for sale as the product loses intensity, legally after the allotted time the mechanism will be guaranteed 70% efficient or less than it was when it was new, therefore it's not legally fit for its original purpose.
Imo id just lower the light by 30% to save the intensity you lose to efficiency loss :)
whatever it is that starts failing within the circuitry after the 25-50k hours apparently degrades much faster too once it starts to go it snowballs so it will fail eventually but who knows?

Lights will lose efficiency over time but I think that'd mainly down to the driver degrading . Those LED chips can go for years. You should still be able to get another couple years out of your light.

Anyone affiliated with Mars Hydro? Very disappointed with customer serviceMy TS 1000’s controller/driver crapped the bed. Contacted customer support, told them the issue, they diagnosed based on videos i send, and was told they were sending replacement parts. 2 weeks later, no email confirmation and no reply to my previous 2 emails sent a week apart.Setup.

Longer Light Cycle - Mid BloomIs changing the light cycle of an autoflower from 18/6 to 20/4 in mid flower too stressful? Doing so would bump my DLI enough to keep my existing light through harvest. She sleeps like clockwork but less so now in mid flower. Will she adjust in a couple days to a longer day?Week 8

Eyeball and advise on my set up, and is this seedling stretching?Is my set up good until my humidifier comes? (using inflow air from in-line fan with a tray of water for humidity for now).
I set up an additional light because I was concerned that this bad boy was stretching and want to provide some extra light for lower canopy later.
