36. 10 years of lighting-class LEDs: A manufacturer’s perspective The LED Lifetime Story – Lessons from manufacturing:

37. 10 years of lighting-class LEDs: A manufacturer’s perspective The LED Lifetime Story – Lessons from manufacturing: LED component lifetime is quite well understood, BUT:-

38. 10 years of lighting-class LEDs: A manufacturer’s perspective The LED Lifetime Story – Lessons from manufacturing: LED component lifetime is quite well understood, BUT:- There is no substitute for doing your own lifetime testing! … LM80 is lab testing of LED devices only, TM21 is simple extrapolation … LED luminaires warrant thorough life testing

39. 10 years of lighting-class LEDs: A manufacturer’s perspective The LED Lifetime Story – Lessons from manufacturing: LED component lifetime is quite well understood, BUT:- There is no substitute for doing your own lifetime testing! … LM80 is lab testing of LED devices only, TM21 is simple extrapolation … LED luminaires warrant thorough life testing There are still many LEDs available without lifetime testing … no LM80 no Deal!

40. 10 years of lighting-class LEDs: A manufacturer’s perspective The LED Lifetime Story – Lessons from manufacturing: LED component lifetime is quite well understood, BUT:- There is no substitute for doing your own lifetime testing! … LM80 is lab testing of LED devices only, TM21 is simple extrapolation … LED luminaires warrant thorough life testing There are still many LEDs available without lifetime testing … no LM80 no Deal! LED lifetime is not just lumen maintenance … there’s colour shift, silicone degradation … … and then there’s all the non-LED stuff to consider …
