Unable to solve equation explicitely

I have the following equation:

U=(8pihf^3)/(c^3)/(exp((hf)/(k*T))-1),

and I would like to solve it's derivative with respect to f equal to zero for f. I know this equation can be explicitly solved for f with the LambertW function, however sage only provides an implicit solution, or if I specify it must be explicit, it only gives the trivial solution. Is there any way to get it to use the LambertW function when using solve?

Unable to solve equation explicitely

I have the following equation:

U=(8pihf^3)/(c^3)/(exp((hf)/(k*T))-1),

U=(8*pi*h*f^3)/(c^3)/(exp((h*f)/(k*T))-1),

and I would like to solve it's derivative with respect to f equal to zero for f. I know this equation can be explicitly solved for f with the LambertW function, however sage only provides an implicit solution, or if I specify it must be explicit, it only gives the trivial solution.
