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 or singular optimum
conditions. For this reason, using all color LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly
reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be of 40,000 to
50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan expectancy is vital, lower the operational
temperature by improving ventilation and reducing the external temperature, as well
as limiting the overall projection intensity
