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’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be of 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If
extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operational temperature by improving the
product’s ventilation and reducing the external temperature. In addition, limiting the overall
projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.
