Lumea question about its 'Life'?

[Seeyounearertime]

Just been reading about Lumea, on most it reads something like "140000 flash lifetime"

I assume once it's life is over then its useless?
And how long would 140000 flashes last?
Obviously if thats a few years of weekly use its not so bad but if its only a year or so then it seems expensive?

It takes me about eight flashes per armpit every 4 weeks,and maybe 50 per leg.So its got some life in it.That newer model that you quote has twice as many flashes as my older one.Jst remember to charge it regularly (every month or so)even if you don't use it, as it will not work.....permanently.

Lower leg I mean (50 flashes).

Wowwee thanks ygritte, that answers things perfectly.
I'm crossing fingers for a January sale deal.
