    Any Info
    LED backlight or EL backlight?
    LED backlight @ 1500 hours? Only if you're pushing it at the max current and it's really hot in the area.
    EL backlight @ 1500 hours? Very possible, but again, probably at the max current rating.

    How to make it last longer? Don't drive the backlights at their maximum current levels.

    Only have the light on when you actually need it on. Saves power too.
