As with all electronic devices, LED output degrades over time - a term called lumen

depreciation. This also explains why it is nearly impossible to expect photometric

performances of two LED products with different service life spans to be the same. The

rate of LED degradation is a complex function of many factors such as operating efficiency,

duration of continuous operation, and operating conditions (e.g. ambient temperature).

Because LEDs are semiconductor devices, their performances are subject to inherent

variability commonly found in semiconductor industry. To improve consistency in performance

across the same product, LED manufacturers “sort” LEDs into bins according to different

Discontinued





preset parameters, such as forward driving voltage, illumination, etc. Whereas binning is a

sorting function, it is not a correction process. Inherent variability in the manufacturing process

always results in different binning distributions according to different production lots. Traxon

uses automatically binned LEDs on its products, thereby minimizing output variations within

the model range.

WARRANTY STATEMENT8.

Traxon Technologies warrants its Products against material or workmanship defects for a

period of three (3) years from date of purchase, provided that the purchased items are used

under the conditions stated in this user manual.

Please refer www.traxontechnologies.com for all warranty terms and conditions.
