clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single-LED conditions. For this re ason, using clustered L EDs at their fullest intensity s ignificantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperatu improving the ventilation around the product and r educing the ambient temperature to an optimal operating range. In addition, limiting the ove rall proj ec ti on in tens ity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.
