Keep in mind this is a theoretical value. The rest of the unit also has to last. Of the 6 AI units I bought, 3 were problematic in less than 2 years. The LED themselves were fine, but the electronics running them weren't so fine. Look for quality, warranty, ease of using that warranty.
The problem is, it's tough to find anyone with any given unit(s) that they've actually been running 10+ years to verify that statement being true
