LED offers 50-kh life even at 135°C

The newest version of the Oslon Square LED withstands high ambient temperatures. The heat dissipation of the LED allows an increase in the junction temperature enabling them to reach a lifetime of 50,000 hours at 135°C. They are measured and binned at 85°C to ensure that the color point of each LED in a luminaire remains uniform even at high temperatures.

The LED suits use in various building applications. It features a color temperature ranging between 2,400 and 5,000 K, and has a color rendering index over 80 and a luminous flux of 202 lm. The LED is undergoing extensive quality testing and the certification process under the LM-80 long lifetime standard is in progress. The results of the 3,000-hour test are expected at the end of 2013, and the results of the 6,000-hour test are expected in spring 2014.
