Abstract

A large-chip standard LED with superior long-term stability have been developed at NIST. The standard LED uses a large, specialty die rated for 50 W but is operated under 3 W to eliminate aging effect. The standard LED was seasoned for one year and measured for its long-term stability for three years. The measurement result shows that the long-term stability is on the level of 0.1 % in the three-year time. The LED can be used as a transfer standard for luminous intensity, luminance, and total luminous flux.
