how do the standby lights on electronics last so long?

I was looking at my TV and PlayStation 3 And realized that the red standby light has been on a majority of the time for the past so many years. How is this possible? Why wouldn’t the light burn out?

most burnout by lights is designed obsolescence.

Also, extremely simple LEDs like those in question are bulletproof. Meaning the engineering and fundamental properties are so refined (over decades) and cheap. It’s almost hard to screw up manufacturing. In addition, the heat fluctuations are such to degrade the material overtime. It’s when companies use cheap materials in their products burnout occurs more frequently.
