LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. It is estimated that a viable lifespan of 20.000 hours will be achieved under normal
operational conditions. If improving on this lifespan expectancy is of a higher priority, place care in
providing for lower operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction
of overall projection intensity.
