Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A LED illumination device and validation methodology of LED illumination device's lifespan, comprises a controller, timing chip and low-voltage DC power supply, the controller is connected to the display terminal, the timing chip is positioned inside the LED illumination device, so as to get real-time recording of the operating time of the LED illumination device which is transmitted to the display terminal for display; meanwhile, a light sensor is placed in the luminous zone to obtain luminosity data so as to measure real-time luminous maintenance rate. When the measured luminous maintenance rate gets lower than the luminous maintenance rate predetermined for critical lifespan, the operating time recorded by the LED illumination device at this moment is the lifespan of this LED illumination device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An LED illumination device with time management function, characterizing in that a controller, timing chip and low-voltage DC power supply are installed inside the LED lamp, wherein the controller is connected directly or indirectly to the display terminal, a light sensor is also installed in the luminous zone of the LED illumination device, wherein the said light sensor is connected to the controller, and the controller obtains luminosity which is converted…
