Durability, Reliability,
& Accelerated Life Tests
Mechanical Shock
Lumileds SuperFlux LEDs are encapsulated in a
solid plastic package. Therefore, they are
extremely rugged and easily survive even
extreme mechanical shock tests. As shown in
Table 6.1, Lumileds used the test conditions
specified in MIL STD 883 Method 2002
Vibration
SuperFlux LEDs perform extremely well in
typical vibration tests (up to 2 kHz). SuperFlux
LEDs have survived MIL STD 883 Method 2007

mechanical shock performance. This test was
conducted three times in each direction at 3000g
for 0.3 milliseconds. All of the SuperFlux LEDs
subjected to this test survived without damage.
Ultrasonic welding is frequently used to secure
the lamp housing to the lens and is occasionally
used to secure the printed circuit assembly
containing the LEDs to mounting posts in the
lamp housing. Although ultrasonic welding of
