LED Junction Temperature is the temperature at the light emission point at the heart of an LED device (called the ‘p-n junction’).

This is a critically important parameter for high reliability LED applications because both LED lifetime and LED light output are directly proportional to junction temperature. By controlling LED junction temperature through a variety of thermal management techniques, optimally efficient LED lighting designs with very long service lives can be realised.

We can conduct empirical LED junction temperature measurement in our custom built LED laboratory usually within a very short timescale. From such measurements we can confirm actual LED operating efficiency and projected lifetime in whatever environmental conditions you specify.

In contrast to expensive and time consuming computer based modelling, empirical LED junction temperature measurement provides a very fast and very reliable way to verify the performance of LED lighting designs. Consequently we are delighted to offer LED junction temperature measurement as part of our LED design support capability.
