I came across this today.

I have similar experiences with white LEDs.
Anyone have any experience with LEDs, either the same or different then this guy.

I run them a little under voltage and they seem to last longer. I don't care about the current..

The white ones that I use are rated at 3.2/3.8 volts. I run them at 3 volts. They aren't as bright but they last a lot longer.. 8)

I have some in service that have been on for over 3 years.. 24/7.. and they are almost as bright as new..
