  OVERVIEW:

      There are many claims being made regarding the performance and reliability of LEDs. This presentation will provide a comprehensive insight into factors that impact LED reliability at the component and subsystem level, with emphasis on package and assembly. We will also discuss technical and statistical approaches that may be used to assess LED reliability, as well as compare how reliability is characterized between traditional (incandescent and fluorescent) and SSL light sources. Finally, the presentation will touch on how SSL product reliability impacts the business model.
