LED Lifetime Tests and Extrapolations
Among the findings of the TM-21 workgroup:
6000 hours of LM-80 testing is not adequate to allow accurate
projection of L

LED platforms from manufacturer to manufacturer each tend to
have their own lumen depreciation characteristics
LED platforms within a given manufacturer each tend to have their
own lumen depreciation characteristics

Failure Rates LED System Approach
LED tunnel luminaire (54 LEDs)
Requirement in the customers specification:
90 % lumen maintenance in 90 % of all luminaires
after 5 years of operation (24 h/day) 44000 h
What will be the maximum Tj in order to fulfil this requirement?
At a given Tj, what is a realistic failure rate?

Critical Failures
LEDs fail !!!
Probability of the failure of an individual LED after 50000 h:
0,05 % - 0,5 % (depending on the operating conditions)
Luminaire with 32 LEDs
Probability that at least one LED fails after 50000 h can be 15 %
Failure modes and preventive actions:
Open circuit: The LEDs in a series are off protection by a shunt (Zener)
Short circuit: Only the defective LED is off
no additional protection
LED Drivers Lifetime and Reliability
LEDs: Lifetime (Byy, Lxx)
Drivers: Failure rate as a function of lifetime

MTBF Lifetime
Failures at MTBF: 63 %!!!
(assuming exponential failure model)
Lifetime of typical drivers:
OSRAM OT42/350 5 % failures at 50000 hrs
VS-O EDXe 350-40W 10 % failures at 50000 hrs
ROAL 42 V 120 V 350 mA 8 % failures at 80000 hrs
H&S 84 W+126 W 120 V 8 % failures at 80000 hrs
Only statistical failures, no catastrophic failure due to
the end of capacitor lifetime
5 % failures at 50000 hrs 1000000 hrs MTBF
