20°C de plus (115°C à135°C) fait passer de 70000heures à 20000heures pour 65% de réduction en lumière !!
Donc il faut leur éviter le moindre coup de chaleur, comme passer de 20°C à 40°C, canicule ou avec abat jour couvrant qui coupe les courants d'air !!!
Les LEDs sont mieux dans un frigo !!

Lifetime and failure
Main article: List of LED failure modes
Solid state devices such as LEDs are subject to very limited wear and tear if operated at low currents and at low temperatures. Many of the LEDs made in the 1970s and 1980s are still in service today. Typical lifetimes quoted are 25,000 to 100,000 hours but heat and current settings can extend or shorten this time significantly. [34]
The most common symptom of LED (and diode laser) failure is the gradual lowering of light output and loss of efficiency. Sudden failures, although rare, can occur as well. Early red LEDs were notable for their short lifetime. With the development of high-power LEDs the devices are subjected to higher junction temperatures and higher current densities than traditional devices. This causes stress on the material and may cause early light output degradation. To quantitatively classify lifetime in a standardized manner it has been suggested to use the terms L75 and L50 which is the time it will take a given LED to reach 75% and 50% light output respectively.[35]
Like other lighting devices, LED performance is temperature dependent. Most manufacturers’ published ratings of LEDs are for an operating temperature of 25°C. LEDs used outdoors, such as traffic signals or in-pavement signal lights, and that are utilized in climates where the temperature within the luminaire gets very hot, could result in low signal intensities or even failure.[36]
LED light output actually rises at colder temperatures (leveling off depending on type at around -30C[citation needed]). Consequently, LED technology may be a good replacement in uses such as supermarket freezer lighting[37][38][39] and will last longer than other technologies. Because LEDs emit less heat than incandescent bulbs, they are an energy-efficient technology for uses such as freezers. However, because they emit little heat, ice and snow may build up on the LED luminaire in colder climates.[36] This lack of waste heat generation has been observed to cause sometimes significant problems with street traffic signals and airport runway lighting in snow-prone areas, although some research has been done to try to develop heat sink technologies to transfer heat to other areas of the luminaire.[40]

Donc on peut accélérer fortement en maintenant au chaud à deux températures différentes et en mesurant la dégradation accélérée de la lumière émise au cours du temps !!
Après on extrapole à T ordinaire sur graphique exponentiel !!
