NOTES ABOUT LED LUMINAIRES

All LED sources experience some lessening of light output and some
color shift over time. LED output will vary with thermal conditions.
Thermal conditions can be affected by ambient temperatures and
orientation. Based on the LED manufacturer’s B50 L70 specification,
a ColorSource luminaire will achieve ~70% of its initial output
after 20,000 hours of typical usage. In individual situations, LEDs
will be used for different durations and at different levels. This
can eventually lead to minor alterations in color performance,
necessitating slight adjustments to presets, cues or programs.
