Synergistic LED's How long do they last ???


On another thread, Ted from Synergistic said the LED used in the Active shielding can last up to 75,000 hours.

With the mini couplers being powered on continously that would mean they would last a little over 8 years.

The active shielding with the LED's that Synergistic uses has been around for a while.
Questions:
1. So, Active shield owners has your LED's lasted that long ?
2. If not , how long has yours lasted?
3. If you had to replace your LED's, how much did it cost?
4. Is ther anyway to replace the LED by the owner?

I hope they don't last long. I'm thinking of putting some black tape over them. The cables are great but why do I need blue light radiating all over the place? On a positive note LED's use almost no electricity.
Ozzy, I had an active shield fail. Synergistic promptly replaced the shield for free and I have not had trouble since. Contact them and ask your question. I'm sure Eliott or Ted will be more than happy to answer your question on cost.
Leica man . I am familiar with Teds posting, he actually said he has a set that have lasted 50,000 hours , but said they should last for 70,000.
So , I would like to hear from Synergistic Active Shield owners as to there actual experience.

Bjesien , The LED's are the Active Shielding, once the blue light goes out, so does the active shielding.
Joeyboynj, Thats great that they fixed it for free !
I am just getting into the cables.
I only own the Apex interconnects, but I have just ordered a Hologram D power cord.
So, the more I invest in these cables the more I wonder about the longevity.
Too bad the owner can't simply replace the LED himself.

About how many years or months until yours went out?
Ozzy- I am familiar with Teds posting, he actually said he has a set that have lasted 50,000 hours , but said they should last for 70,000.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. So Wizard of Oz where did Ted say 70,000 hours exactly?

On a much less contentious topic, welcome aboard the good ship Teslaphile- cheers!
