Under the global trend of energy and emission reduction, light emitting diode (LED) has attracted more and more people's attention due to its distinctive advantages of long lifetime, high reliability, low energy consumption, green environmental protection. However, in order to evaluate the reliability of LED luminaires, few or no failure time data could be obtained with the traditional accelerated method. In this paper, the step-temperature stress was selected and the stepstress accelerated degradation test (SSADT) was implemented for LED bulb firstly. Secondly, the reliability function, reliability curve and Mean Time to Failures (MTTF) of sample under normal stress level were calculated. Lastly, the predicted results were verified by mean value method and normal temperature test. In some extent, the reliability of LED lighting system can be effectively and rapidly evaluated by the SSADT method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
