46. LEDs Last Forever!! [under ideal conditions] Well-designed systems with Lighting-class LEDs at low T A , T J will run a very, very long time…
49. LED Lifetime Is Irrelevant System Lifetime is What Creates Value LED Lamps : Practically never fail; depreciate very slowly in a well-designed system Optical Components : Can (rarely) yellow over time and lose light; system design choice Driver : Currently the weakest point of the system, but the big companies are working on this Heat Sink : Linchpin of the entire system. If this is poorly designed, all the other components can be compromised

Electroluminescence as different from incandescence – different phenomena require different management.
Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive or RoHS, 2003 directive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_of_Hazardous_Substances_Directive
This is another example of the difference between incandescence versus electroluminescence
This phenomenon occurs because IR is a frequency-dependent phenomenon – just like s sunset
Color Quality Scale
Might discuss 2 differenct notions of “sameness” – “Are these 2 same or different?” vs. “Make this one the same color as that one.”
Potential Lighting customers used to be able to use “no standards” as an excuse for waiting on SSL – not anymore. All the basic pieces are now in place. If we can agree on The basic definitions (what is an LED chip? Lamp? Light engine? Module?), and What color it is (ANSI), and How to measure it photometrically (LM79), and What the Lumen Maintenance of the LEDs are (LM80), and What are the safety standards for SSL (UL 8750) We then have the basis to conduct commercial business. Energy Star uses all of these standard, was enabled by this basic work, again pushed by the DOE funding…
This is an updated list of all the published standards and some of the important ones under development. We’re going to need another page soon!
