This article compares properties of two measurement set-ups dedicated to determining thermal parameters of power LEDs. The standard T3Ster set-up and the custom set-up developed in Gdynia Maritime University are considered. Both set-ups are described and the used measurement procedure is presented. The manner of measurement of optical power of the tested LEDs is also described. The method of measuring transfer transient thermal impedances between thermally coupled power LEDs using both set-ups is proposed. The measurement results of the mentioned parameters obtained with these set-ups for selected power LEDs are compared and discussed. Certain properties of software operating with both the considered measuring set-ups are also analyzed.
