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, single-LED
conditions. For this reason, using clustered
LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly
reduces the LEDs’ lifespa
n. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be 40,000 to
50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating
temperature by
improving the ventilation around the product and reducing the ambient temperature
to an
optimal operating range
. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may also help
to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.
