LEDs gradu ally decline in bright ness over time, m ostly becaus e of heat. Pac kaged 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 lifes pan can b e 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 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.
