Attic spaces are a lot hotter than you might think.  I suppose it would
depend on a number of factors like airflow and roofing material.  If the
ambient temperature INSIDE the attic isn't at least below 85F you're asking
for a much shorter lifespan on the devices.  Even when it's 80F outside
I've
seen it be 115F in my attic.  That big, black roof just bakes in the sun.

No amount of fans will help if you're only pushing around hot air.
