Hi,
I have a application where my LED currents are switched as in a
matrix. My current LED on time is 60 us and off time is 15240 us. The
intensity is problem thus I pump a higher current in that 60 us
(applied potential is arround 9V in that period of time ) and that
gives the required intensity. LED doee not heat up since LED current
duty cyle is extreamly small (rms current is also very small too). Is
this method will reduce the LED life time ?.
Could some one refer some articles on LED life time dependability with
current.
Thank you.

Wow. I don't like to go much beyond 8:1 to 10:1. You're doing 250+:1.
I don't think you'll get away with it unless the peak current is not
much more than 5-10x the allowable DC current (meaning the LEDs will
be relatively dim).
Best regards,
