clusters, LEDs exhi bit higher operati ng temperatures than i n ideal , singl e-LED conditions.
For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the
LEDs’ lifespan. Under nor mal conditi ons, 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
operating range. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may also help to
extend the LEDs’ lifespan.
