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. If improving the lifespan is of higher priority, place care in providing for lower 
operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall 
projection intensity.
