The advantages of light emitting diodes (LEDs) over previous sources and their continuous spread in lighting applications is now indisputable. Still, proper modelling lifespan offers additional design possibilities, enhanced reliability, energy-saving opportunities.

The multi-domain operation of LEDs characterized by the tight coupling between their electrical, thermal and optical properties manifests not only on chip package level, but has to be tracked LED products higher integration level such as modules or luminaires. At present system numerical analysis integrated is typically performed different design teams dealing with separately. One reason this practice lack a unified modeling approach in which right models are used for chip, package, module...
LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes) are widely applied not only in decorative illumination but also everyday lighting buildings, flats, public areas, and automotive fields. These application areas often mean harsh environments, for example, regarding the humidity content of surrounding air: besides outdoor illumination, even household use cases (kitchen, bathroom, cellar) may represent extreme temperature variations (often reaching relative levels close to 100%) these devices; thus, their...
Characterization of LEDs and other semiconductor devices demands at least accurate monitoring the junction temperature (Tj), also its control in more complex cases. In practical LED lighting appliances "hot lumens" are meaningful, as most lamps used steady state with power applied. Analysis cold provides only indirect information about intended operation.
