DOE Publishes Results of OLED Stress Testing

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently released the latest in a series of reports about OLED lighting technology. The new report – Round 2 Update of Stress Testing Results for Organic Light-Emitting Diode Panels and Luminaires – builds on earlier DOE studies of OLED technology by updating information about previously benchmarked OLED products in accelerated stress tests. The results indicate OLED panel performance continues to improve.

LED Reliability Test

In April 2018, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released its final GATEWAY report documenting the performance of LED luminaires in a high-temperature outdoor lighting environment over four years. DOE’s GATEWAY program, which evaluates projects demonstrating LED capability, studied the results of a retrofit of quartz metal halide area lighting along a 7.2-mile stretch in the Yuma, Arizona Border Patrol Area between the U.S. and Mexico. Temperatures in this area can top 100 degrees Fahrenheit at sunset.

DoE Evaluates High-Efficacy LED Luminaires

In 2017, the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) evaluated the performance of a selection of LED lighting products with very high published efficacies close to or topping 200 lumens/W. All seven were industrial luminaires, with all but one featuring unshielded light emitters. DoE set out to validate the efficacy claims, characterize commonalities between the products, and identify any performance tradeoffs. Pairs of product samples for each of the seven luminaires were tested for horizontal light level, flicker, and maximum luminance (photometric brightness). Further, 23 knowledgeable observers visually evaluated the products in a mockup.
