The advantages of light emitting diodes (LEDs) over previous light sources and their continuous spread in lighting applications is now indisputable. Still, proper modelling of their lifespan offers additional design possibilities, enhanced reliability, and additional energy-saving opportunities. Accurate and rapid multi-physics system level simulations could be performed in Spice compatible environments, revealing the optical, electrical and even the thermal operating parameters, provided, that the compact thermal model of the prevailing luminaire and the appropriate elapsed lifetime dependent multi-domain models of the applied LEDs are available. The work described in this article takes steps in this direction in by extending an existing multi-domain LED model in order to simulate the major effect of the elapsed operating time of LEDs used. Our approach is based on the LM-80-08 testing method, supplemented by additional specific thermal measurements. A detailed description of the TM-21-11 type extrapolation method is provided in this paper along with an extensive overview of the possible aging models that could be used for practice-oriented LED lifetime estimations.
