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.
Under normal conditions, 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 to an optimal operating range. In addition, limiting the overall
projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.
