Research Control Devices for LED Light Sources under Their Operating Conditions at Elevated Temperatures.

The electrical and light characteristics of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), upon which modern lighting devices are constructed, are significantly influenced by ambient temperature. As the temperature rises, the luminous flux of LEDs diminishes, and the lifespan of LED devices also decreases. The control devices (drivers) used in LED lighting systems, built based on current stabilization schemes, do not effectively stabilize the luminous flux when the ambient temperature fluctuates between +15 to +60 °C. The luminous flux declines as the temperature increases, even if the current supplied to the LEDs remains constant. This paper presents a comparative analysis of LED lighting devices equipped with drivers featuring current stabilization and those with drivers employing voltage stabilization for operation in higher temperature conditions.
