Addendum A For TM-21-11: Projecting Long Term Lumen Maintenance of LED Packages

Addendum A for TM-21-11: Projecting Long Term Lumen Maintenance of
LED Packages
This Addendum provides clarification for the document IES TM-21-11 based on the postpublishing practice and users inputs.
4.3
Luminous Flux Data Collection and Selection
Additional measurements after the initial 1000 hours at intervals smaller than 1000 hours
(including every 1000 hour points) are encouraged. Additional measurements beyond 6000
hours are encouraged and will provide the basis for more accurate lumen maintenance
predictions.
Data collected within a 48 hour window of each 1000 hour measurement point, e.g., from
952 hours to 1048 hours, from 1952 hours to 2048 hours, etc., are acceptable for use in product
lumen maintenance projections. The 48 hour window is also applicable to other intervals
smaller than 1000 hours. The exact time designation shall be used in the projection calculation.
5.2.3 Data Used for Curve-fit
For data sets of test duration, D, from 6000 hours up to 10000 hours, the data used for the curvefits shall be the last 5000 hours of data. Data before the 1000 hour reading shall not be used for
the curve fit.
Data collected within a 48 hour window of each 1000 hour measurement point, e.g., from
952 hours to 1048 hours, from 1952 hours to 2048 hours, etc. shall be acceptable as each 1000
hour reading and shall be used for luminous flux maintenance projection with the actual
measured elapsed time value. The 48 hours window is also applicable to other intervals smaller
than 1000 hours. The actual measured elapsed time values shall be used in the projection
calculation.
The data collection points used in the projection calculation shall be equally dispersed in time (to
within 48 hours). No two consecutive data collection intervals after the initial 1000 hours shall
differ by more than 96 hours in length. For example, data may be used in the projection
calculation which are collected every 1000 hours ( 48 hours), every 500 hours ( 48 hours) etc.,
but not every 1000 hours and occasionally at 500 hours, since this will give excessive statistical
weight to certain data points.

Temperature Data Interpolation
When in-situ DUT case temperature, Ts,i, is different from the temperatures used for LM-80-08
tests, the following procedures should be used to predict lumen maintenance life of the DUTs
corresponding to the in-situ case temperature with the same operational condition (e.g., drive
current).

Addendum A for TM-21-11
p. 1
For interpolation between case temperatures with test durations of unequal lengths, in instances
where the higher temperature has shorter testing duration, projections shall not extend beyond 6
times the test duration of the higher temperature for 20 or more samples (5.5 times for 10 to 19
samples). In instances where the lower temperature has shorter testing duration, projections shall
not extend beyond 6 times the linearly interpolated testing duration for 20 or more samples (5.5
times for 10 to 19 samples).

The Calculated and Projected Lp(Dk) are removed from Table 1 and Table 2. These values are
set for the purpose of calibrating the calculation tools for the users. Due to the statistical
uncertainty stated in Annex D, the calculated result in hours beyond reported projection limit set
in Section 5.2.5 does not have any practical or meaningful value.
