Abstract: In order to verify which of the distributions and established methods of reliability model are more suitable for the analysis of the accelerated aging of LED lamp, three established methods (approximate method, analytical method and two-stage method) of reliability model are used to analyze the experimental data under the condition of the Weibull distribution and Lognormal distribution, in this paper. Ten LED lamps are selected for the accelerated aging experiment and the luminous fluxes are measured at an accelerated aging temperature. AIC information criterion is adopted in the evaluation of the models. The results show that the accuracies of the analytical method and the two-stage method are higher than that of the approximation method, with the widths of confidence intervals of unknown parameters of the reliability model being the smallest for the two-stage method. In a comparison between the two types of distributions, the accuracies are nearly identical.
