Rated lifespan is typically 60,000–100,000 hours, but in real DOOH installs it mostly depends on heat and power stability, not just LED specs.

Key factors:

  • thermal management

  • power supply reliability

  • daily heat cycling

In the field, poor cooling usually leads to color shift, uneven brightness, and early IC failures.

Well-designed systems can realistically run 5–8+ years in 24/7 commercial operation if thermal control is solid.
