Expected
LED
Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness
over time, mostly because of heat.
Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in
ideal or singular optimum conditions. For this reason, using all color LEDs
at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Und
er
normal conditions, this lifespan can be of 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If
extending this lifespan expectancy is vital, lower the operational
temperature by improving ventilation and reducing the external temperature,
as well as limiting the overall projection intensity.
