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 40,000 to 50,000 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.
