LEDs gradu ally decline in bright ness over time, m ostly bec ause of heat. P ackaged i n
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 40,0 00 to
50,000 h ours. If ext ending this lifespan is vital, low er the oper ational temp erature by
improving the fixture’s ventil ation and reducing the external temperature. In addition,
limitin g th e overall pr oj ecti on intensit y m ay also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.
