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...

Here is state-of-the-art coverage of thermal management in LED devices and their applications. Covers thermal design for LEDs, thermal characterization and testing, and issues related to failure mechanisms and reliability and performance in harsh environments.

reliability management for automotive LEDs, and lightning effects on LEDs.This book is a continuation of Solid State Lighting Reliability: Components to Systems (published in 2013), which covers reliability aspects ranging from the LED to the total luminaire or system of luminaires.
