Solid State Lighting Reliability: Components to Systems begins with an explanation of the major benefits of solid state lighting (SSL) when compared to conventional lighting systems including but not limited to long useful lifetimes of 50,000 (or more) hours and high efficacy. When designing effective devices that take advantage of SSL capabilities the reliability of internal components (optics, drive electronics, controls, thermal design) take on critical importance. As such a detailed discussion of reliability from performance at the device level to sub components is included as well as the integrated systems of SSL modules, lamps and luminaires including various failure modes, reliability testing and reliability performance. This book also: Covers the essential reliability theories and practices for current and future development of Solid State Lighting components and systems Provides a systematic overview for not only the state-of-the-art, but also future roadmap and perspectives of Solid State Lighting reliability Discusses the reliability of LEDs and all other components, including the integrated systems of SSL modules, lamps and luminaires, failure modes, reliability testing and performance testing Solid State Lighting Reliability: Components to Systems is an ideal book for industry professionals, researchers, and graduate students interested in a reference book for solid state lighting reliability from the performance of the (sub-) components to the total system.
