\n

Lower Heat Output<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Less heat can sometimes lead to higher humidity levels, meaning additional environmental control may be required<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Light Degradation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Like all LEDs, output gradually reduces over many years of use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
