The issue has to do with the way the LED drivers are being installed. Eclipse wasn't able to tell me if all of them are installed this way or not. On my model the drivers were located behind the control panel. You'll want to open it up and see if they are installed right next to each other like this.
These things get very hot after the lights have been on ~20min or so as you can see by the burn marks on the wood mounting plate. By mounting them right next to each other it is not allowing air to flow around the driver to properly cool. One of mine failed while camping a few weeks ago and the LED stopped working. The driver had noticeable cracking on the backside due to overheating.
You'll want to remove the drivers and mount them like this so they get proper airflow.
