Expected LED
Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in
clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single LED
conditions. For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly
reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. The electrical, thermal management design of the PVP™
panel is designed to provide the longest LED lifespan possible. Under normal operating
conditions, this lifespan can be 50,000 hours or longer. If extending this lifespan is vital,
lower the operational temperature by improving ventilation around the fixture and
reducing the ambient temperature to an optimal operating range. In addition, limiting the
overall projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.
