I'm looking at a pair of Kessil A150ws on Facebook Marketplace. It's a good deal, but they're from 2012 and I'm worried they might be at the end of their lifespan. Any input on this?
 
Assuming 8 hours per day, those lights have 34560 hours on it.
Per Kessil website: Source: ( https://kessil.com/support/faq.php#:~:text=Our lights have a normal,the maintenance of the light.)

Our lights have a normal life expectancy of 35,000 hours, about 5-7 years for most customers. There are many factors that can reduce the life expectancy of the light such as the environment (humidity, moisture, salt creep, and temperature) as well as the maintenance of the light. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the light are important and if not performed, it may affect the longevity of the light.​
