1. AC Inductive Load, PF = 0.6 – 0.7; DC Inductive Load, L/R = 7ms.
2. Minimum applicable load (reference value) is 5V AC/DC/1mA (applicable range is subject to the operating conditions and load).
3. LED lamp contains a built-incurrent-limiting resistor and a protection diode.
4. LED’s don’t “burn out.” Luminance is reduced to 50% of initial intensity after being lit for 50,000 hours continuously.
