Analysis of Aging Results for Without Drop Glue Linear Lights
1. Analysis of Electrical Performance Changes
- Input Current Changes (A)
- 1# Initial: 1.33A; 4000H: 1.29A.
- 2# Initial: 1.18A; 4000H: 1.15A.
- Trend: Slow decrease of approximately 3%.
- Post-aging LED junction temperature slightly increases → Internal resistance rises → Current marginally decreases. The minimal current drop indicates a stable power supply drive and LED quality, with no significant degradation or leakage occurring.
- Power Change (W)
- 1#: Initial: 16W; 4000H: 15.5W Change: Approx. 3% decrease;
- 2#: Initial: 14.2W; 4000H: 13.8W Change: Approx. 2.8% decrease.
- Both power and current exhibit synchronized, slight decreases, aligning with normal aging curves. Absence of abnormal power fluctuations confirms the stability of the product’s driver system and LED chips.
- Optical Performance (Luminous Flux) Change Analysis
- 1#: Initial Luminous Efficiency: 87.34 LM/W; 4000H Luminous Efficiency: 84.88 LM/W; Decrease: Approximately 2.8 LM/W (≈3.2%).
- 2#: Initial Luminous Efficiency: 88.55 LM/W, 4000H Luminous Efficiency: 85.8 LM/W, Decrease: Approximately 2.75 LM/W (≈3.1%).
- This demonstrates exceptional aging performance. Typically, COB/LEDs exhibit a normal decay rate of 5–12% after 3000–4000 hours of aging. This product exhibits only about 3% decay, demonstrating excellent LED quality.
2. Color Temperature (CCT) Stability Analysis
- 1# Initial: 4055K; 4000H: 3993K. Color Temperature Drift: Approximately -62K (≈1.5%).
- 2# Initial: 4092K; 4000H: 3998K. Color Temperature Drift: Approximately -94K (≈2.3%).
- A ±100K variation within the 4000K range is considered excellent.
Color temperature consistency is well-maintained, making it suitable for applications sensitive to color consistency, such as commercial lighting, display case lighting, and brand store lighting.
3. Color Rendering Index (Ra) Variation
- 1#: Initial: 93.5; 4000H: 93.1. Ra Change: Decrease of 0.4.
- 2#: Initial: 93.1; 4000H: 93.3. Ra Change: Increase of 0.2.
Ra remains stable at ≥93, indicating highly consistent light quality. This indicates a stable phosphor system and chip quality, with no color shift or CRI fluctuation issues.
4. Comprehensive Conclusions
- Excellent aging performance (positionable as mid-to-high-end lighting products).
- Luminous efficacy decay below industry average.
- Exceptionally stable color temperature and CRI, suitable for high-end commercial lighting.
- High data consistency with no anomalies.
- LED quality is reliable. Based on the above characteristics, the LED quality is determined to be high-grade: only 3% decay after 4000 hours (better than the industry average of 5–8%). Minimal CCT drift, stable CRI, and no data fluctuations across different stages indicate that Smalite LED chips, brackets, and phosphor systems all perform stably. They can be applied in real-world environments requiring long-term reliability.
Test Conclusion: PASS.
