I was helping a newer member out when I though of a little project. After talking to another member we thought it'd be fun to throw this out on the forum for everyone to see.
I have a few extra Fasttech 5V red modules and wanted to know how reliably they could run constantly. I started this project at 10pm on the 20th. The diode has been on since then with the only off period being when I switched the power from my computer's USB to a wall adapter. That makes the current run time 91 hours! To my knowledge these diodes haven't really been tested like this.
I want to know how long you all think this little diode will last before burning out. Kind of like the game where you try to guess the number of beans in the jar
So, here's the set up:

2200 hrs 20 Nov 13 - First Light
2200 hrs 30 Nov 13 - 240 hours
2100 hrs 04 Dec 13 - 337 hours

1630 hrs 27 May 14 - 4506 hours
2342 hrs 21 Nov 14 - 8785 hours
2100 hrs 20 Jun 16 - 22,631 hours
1845 hrs 20 Jan 17 - 27,764 hours
1945 hrs 13 Nov 17 - 34,893 hours
2330 hrs 1 Oct 18 - 42,625 hours
2030 hrs 20 Aug 19 - 50,374 hours
2230 hrs 18 Dec 19 - 53,256 hours
0700 hrs 6 Jun 21 - 66,105 hours
2100 hrs 3 Feb 22 - 72,166 hours
1200 hrs 20 Jan 23 - 80,592 hours
