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.
