Which of the five main factors will affect the life of the LED lamp?

If you use a light source for a long time, you will have great economic benefits and reduce your carbon footprint. According to the system design, the reduction of luminous flux is a normal process, but it can be ignored. When the luminous flux is reduced very slowly, the system will remain in good condition without long maintenance.

Which of the five main factors will affect the life of the LED lamp?

Compared to other light sources in many applications, LEDs are undoubtedly superior. In order to keep the system in good condition, the following five factors need to be considered.

Effectiveness

LED lamps and LED modules are manufactured and driven within a specific current range. According to its characteristics, it can provide LEDs with current ranging from 350mA to 500mA. Many systems are driven in high value areas of this current range.

Acidic conditions

In some acidic conditions, LEDs can also be easily affected, such as in coastal areas where salt content is high, in factories where chemicals or products are used, or in indoor swimming pools. Although LEDs are also manufactured for these areas, they must be carefully packed into fully enclosed housings with high IP protection.

Heat

Heat will affect the LED’s luminous flux and life cycle. Radiator can prevent the system from overheating. Warming of the system means that the allowable ambient temperature of the LED lamp is exceeded. The life of the LED depends on the ambient temperature.

Mechanical stress

When manufacturing, stacking, or simply manipulating LEDs, mechanical stress can also affect the life of the LED lamps, sometimes completely destroy the LED lamps. Pay attention to Electrostatic discharge (ESD), as this can cause transient but high-current pulses that damage the LEDs and LED drivers.

Humidity

The performance of the LED also depends on the humidity of the surrounding environment. Because in wet environments, electronic devices, metal parts, etc. tend to break down quickly and begin to rust, try to keep the LED system away from moisture.
