LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. LEDs packaged in
clusters exhibit higher operating temperatures than single LEDs. Using clustered LEDs at their
fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs' lifespan, which under normal circumstances
40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by
improving the ventilation around the product 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.
