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 MVP™
Ta8 Curve panel aims 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.
