Power light emitting diodes(LED) for lighting fittings are so much environment-friendly, highly reliable and consume less energy that they are widely used at home and in industries such as electronics, telecommunications and industrial machineries. However, they are exposed to a very diverse environment and consists of complex components and, therefore needs careful approach to the enhancement and assessment of reliability of the item. In this article reliability assessment criteria for LED are established in terms of performance assessment test, reliability assessment test and accelerated test.
