Hallo,
Philips Lumileds hat Probleme mit Rebel und K2 LEDs mit deren neuen TFFC Technik.
Laut einem geheimen Papier an die Distributoren gibt es Probleme mit einem Klebstoff, der zu Bruch und Ausfall der LEDs führen kann.
Angeblich treten die Ausfälle sehr bald auf und und betreffen nur LEDs die von KW44/07 bis KW2/08 produziert wurden.
Seither ist die Produktion gestoppt.
Es müssen massenhaft fehlerhafte und ausfallgefährdete LEDs ausgeliefert worden sein, nicht nur an Hersteller von Taschenlampen.
In einer Erklärung von 4sevens für die Einstellung von Fenix Lampen mit Rebel-LED werden Lieferengpässe angegeben...
Der wahre Grund dürfte anders liegen, wie diese Information zeigt.

Hier ist der original Text von Lumileds an seine Distributoren:
Dear Customer,
We have identified an issue with certain LUXEON Rebel (with TFFC) and LUXEON K2 with TFFC LEDs manufactured from WW0744 to WW0802. As a result, we are initiating this Return Request Action. This request does not impact production of all of the LUXEON Rebel and LUXEON K2 emitters; only the parts identified below are affected.
Situation:
We have identified a batch of non-conforming epoxy material used in the production of LUXEON Rebel (with TFFC) and LUXEON K2 with TFFC products manufactured from WW0744 to WW0802. This non-conforming epoxy material has the potential to cause the TFFC die to crack and fail during short-term operation. We have seen a failure rate that exceeds our specifications and, subject to the provisions of Philips Lumileds Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale or any executed sales agreement, are taking the necessary steps to resolve this issue.
Containment:
Philips Lumileds has temporarily suspended production of LUXEON Rebel (with TFFC) and LUXEON K2 with TFFC emitters. This production hold will remain in place until we have resolved the issue.
Date of production hold: WW0802.

Material disposition:
Philips Lumileds recommends all part numbers listed in the table above within the affected date codes are returned.
Unused inventory
Products should be returned to Philips Lumileds via the standard Return Materials Authorization (RMA) process.
Deployed material
In our internal testing, we have found that under normal operating conditions, the affected products experience infant mortality failure within the first 24 hours of operation.
Preliminary failure rate data suggests failure rates of 10-30%. The reliability of the affected products that survive the first 24 hours is under investigation. A follow-up notification will be issued as results become available.
Timing for Replacement Material
The verification of exact root cause of this quality issue is under rigorous investigation. We anticipate that our production line will resume sometime in March 2008. Further communication updates will be provided as it becomes available. We are continuing to stage material before the TFFC production line, so that we can rapidly restart production once we have proven/qualified corrective action.
We will provide updates to you as additional information becomes available.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Sincerely,
