The standard lifespan of a motor is about 4,000 hours.

An electric bulb is easily replaceable. A motor is part of the product which need soldering work. Since there are some parts that are difficult to access and need direct replacement from our factory, it is highly recommended to request repair work in that situation.

It is generally said that the LED is darker than the conventional electric bulb.

Although it is said the LED has almost half the brightness, it has about 10,000 hours or more for a lifespan. Although the lifespan of the conventional electric bulb is from about 2000 to 3000 hours, the LED has a longer-life.

The brightest luminous sources among our PATLITE products are called xenon lights.

The sound will decrease when the distance or angle of the sound source is increased. Moreover, the sound may become inaudible in a noisy environment. The standard for being able to hear the sound requires that the noisy environment should be 10dB below the volume in the place where the sound will be heard.

The electric bulb type cannot be used outdoors. Although the LED type has dustproof characteristics, since the luminous source is an LED, the visibility may worsen when used outdoors. There are some LED type products that are for indoor use only.
