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

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!

Ozzy, mine was one of the ones that failed in the first 100 hours and Synergistic promptly repaired it in painless easy process. My oldest cable (Rel Spec) which is about 4 years old, I never had a problem.

Thanks Joeyboynj for the info.
I am so impressed by the new Tesla cables that I want to complete my system with them.

Leica man , As you know the cables are expensive.
So please, do not be so negative about a simple question.
That is, from actual owners experience, how long have the LED's lasted ?

Additionally, Ted from Synergistic said they should last for 75,000 but he only has evidence of a set lasting for 50,000 hours.
That is why I am trying to find out what owners have experienced.

Here is Ted's comments from Synergistic.
"The life expectancy for LED's is dependent on many factors including voltage and operating temperature. When used in the Active Shielding circuit they are operating under ideal circumstances and should last 75,000 hours or more before needing to be replaced. For the record I had a pair of Alpha Sterling Active and Alpha Quad Active IC's and SC's in my home office system from the original X Series circa 2001 that were on continuously from 11. 01 through 11.06 without incident-nearly 50,000 hours. We have less then a 1% failure rate on LED's after an initial 100 hour period going back to the original X Series when LED's first appeared on our cables in 2001. If the LED"s are going to burn out they normally do so during the first 100 hours of life; after that they are good for thousands and thousands of hours".
