I have received several calls from customers that are requesting PQ monitoring.
The reason for the monitoring is to ascertain if there are voltage issues that could be affecting their LED drivers.
From what I have read assuming you are utilizing quality drivers (all the customers claim they are using quality components)
Reasons for premature failures of LED Drivers
1. Over temperature that can be ambient or heat generated from the LED
2. Overloading the LED Driver.
a. Were these sold as a matched set? Driver and LED?
b. Overloads with the driver can occur if the LED Driver is exposed to over temperatures. There are derating curves for LED Drivers detailing the percentage of load the driver can handle based on temperature
