LEDs gr adually d ecline in bri ghtness over time, mostly bec ause of h eat. Pack aged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single LED conditi ons. For this reas on, usi ng clustered LEDs at their fullest i ntensit y signif icantly reduc es the LEDs’ lif espan. U nder n ormal con ditions , this lif espan c an be of 40,000 t o 50,000 h ours. If ext ending this lifespan is vital, low er the oper ational temp erature by improving the fixture’s ventilation and reducin g the ext ernal temperature. In add ition, limitin g th e overall pr oj ecti on intensit y m ay also help to ext en d the LEDs ’ lifespan.
