Abstract

LED-based lighting technology is widely adopted as it offers a range of benefits, including energy efficiency, durability, and flexibility in design. LED luminaires' performance during their lifetime is always a concern as several subsystems are in play. The best-adopted strategy yet is accelerated degradation testing with continuous hours of operation. This assumes that the LED luminaire is turned ON through out its life and as in reality the LED luminaires are turned ON and OFF constantly after certain hours of operation. The primary problem is that it doesn't take into account how LED luminaire lifespan performance is impacted by ON and OFF cycles. The work presented adopts modified testing where LED luminaires are turned ON/OFF after the LED luminaire temperature is settled to a steady value. The LED light engine and associated LED driver are operated continuously in three different environmental conditions. The results are analyzed considering lumen maintenance and equivalent series resistance of the electrolytic capacitor of the LED driver. Spectral power distribution and SEM-EDS analysis also revealed the reason for the deterioration of LEDs. An empirical model to predict the lifetime performance for different operating conditions is presented, and the cycle-based lifetime is estimated. Overall, the work offers a realistic performance testing, analysis and estimation technique considering all the possible scenarios the LED luminaire might encounter in a real-world application.
