LM-80 Scope
Like all light sources, the light output from LEDs slowly p g decreases in output over time. Unlike traditional light sources, LEDs do not tend to fail catastrophically [] LEDs may also undergo gradual shifts in the emitted spectra over time time o Lumen maintenance o Color maintenance

LM-80 Content
Three sets of measurements o Case temperature at 55C 85 C, and another 55 C, 85C temperature selected by manufacturer Multiple temperatures allow for interpolation
o The current can be de-rated as a function of temperature in accordance with the manufacturers recommendation. recommendation The intent is to test the LEDs at the same current as during realistic operation. i.e., simple interpolation is not advisable for current! Dont interpolate between curves of differing drive current

(ISTMT)
o To relate the results of the LM-80 test to the luminaire,
DOE requires verification of LED and power supply
supply temperatures in environments that simulate real-world applications (in situ) with tests that measure the temperature of both the hi h t temperature LED i the t f b th th highest t t in th luminaire and the power supply at steady-state thermal equilibrium.
