How long do LEDs last?

LEDs do not suddenly burn out, rather they fade over time. As with any lighting, the useful life depends on operating hours. Quality LED lighting are expected to have a useful life in the range of 30,000 to 50,000 hours. 50,000 hours would imply 5.7 years if the light is operated 24 hours per day.
