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, 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™ panel is
designed 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.
