To enable lighting designers to determine the lifetime performance of LEDs under various operating conditions, Philips Lumileds Lighting Co. has released a reliability analysis tool. Through graphical representation, the analyzer helps designers understand and evaluate the impact of temperature and drive current on lumen maintenance and failure rates of LEDs. The representation reveals reliability performance differences between devices from various manufacturers, enabling designers and engineers to make informed decisions with respect to product lifetimes, driver constraints, number of LEDs required and thermal management.
