If you request the life in seconds for the entire duty cycle, that value represents the allowable number of seconds of exposure for the entire duty cycle. Your duty cycle contains 1500 repeats of event 1, 1500 repeats for event 2, and 1500 repeats of event 3. So, the reported life is the allowable number of seconds of exposure for all 4500 repeats. To convert the calculated life to hours, divide the life in seconds by 3600.
