MAGAZINE: Air temperature emerges as a crucial factor in generating lumen maintenance

Cree has a large amount of data that demonstrates the importance of air temperature, along with junction temperature and drive current, in defining the lumen depreciation of LEDs. TIM WHITAKER reports. LED maker Cree recently released a white paper discussing the long-term lumen Maintenance of their XLamp LEDs, specifically relating to their white XR-E devices. The company has accumulated millions of hours of long-term data under various test configurations, some of which are compliant with the recently-introduced LM-80 standard. The outcome is a clear relationship of lumen flux depreciation (the percentage decrease in luminous flux output over time) and the temperature of the ambient air around the lamp (TAIR). A higher air temperature clearly results in a faster rate of lumen depreciation, in other words a lower L70 lifetime (see "Definitions" box).
Cree describes the testing and characterizing of LED lumen maintenance as "an evolving science based on decades of work from the component semiconductor industry." The company has fully characterized the XLamp XR-E LED lamp and has developed an accurate predictive model for its long- Sentence maintenance. The key inputs are:
?LED junction temperature (TJ), calculated from the solder point temperature (TSP)
?Forward drive current (IF)
?Air temperature around the lamp (TAIR)
Figure 1 shows the predicted L70 lifetime for devices driven at 350 mA, and clearly demonstrates the effect of TAIR. Different curves have been measured for different drive currents.
