AI Hydra 52HD - lifespan

[Slawman]

Hi all,

Does anyone know (or can point me towards) information about the useful life of this fitting? I have been running them about 5 years for 10 hours a day and curious to know how / if they degrade over time. Would be an easy excuse to upgrade to the new 64s

I have 9 52(nonhd) and 3 52hd.

They perform very well still, I've pulled most of them apart for cleaning and there is very little signs of degradation or corrosion. I think if you have taken care of them that they will last a long time. Par will be reduced as with any lighting source but I haven't seen a significant reduction. I'd keep rocking them unless you have a reason to replace them.
