This is 100% correct, a simple LED can survive feeding light for 100 years.
No wonder many cars, traffic lights, bus, trucks, even flashlights are now
using LEDs.

I already contacted some companies who are producing all kinds of old lamps
with leds, old sockets and all.  Googling can locate some of those
companies.

Thomas Edison would be proud to see how many years his invention survived
until finally replaced by something with a better life span.
