An industry working group has published an updated version of the guide LED Luminaire Lifetime: Recommendations for Testing and Reporting, available here.
Developed by the LED Systems Reliability Consortium (LSRC) under the auspices of the Next Generation Lighting Industry Alliance, it’s the latest edition in a series of publications on LED product performance and lifetime.
The LSRC is composed of a diverse group of experts in reliability, lighting, and LED technology. The new guide summarizes what has been learned to date, suggests directions for further work, and updates the previous recommendations for describing the life and reliability of LED-based luminaires.
The new recommendations are an important step toward consistent, industry-wide understanding of LED luminaire lifetime.
