The difference between main optical names of LED

The difference between main optical names of LED LED luminaires are this kind of device which can transmit, distribute, and change the light distribution of light source. They are becoming the main products of a new generation of lighting market with its high efficiency, energy saving, safety, long service life, compact, and other technical characteristics. They effectively promote energy-saving environmental protection industry of high-speed development. The usual parameters of light which associate with photometry are light intensity, luminous flux, illuminance and brightness. Although these four quantities are related, they are different and can not be confused. Just as the physical quantity like pressure, gravity, pressure, quality, they represent different parameters and effects. 1. Light Intensity( I, Intensity) Unit Candela (CD), this is the inherent properties of point source. It is to represent the convergence ability of light. Definition: The luminous flux which light source ...

How to Solve the Stroboscopic Problem of LED Lighting?

How to Solve the Stroboscopic Problem of LED Lighting? “Bright blind” in life is an exaggerated description of some impact incidents, but if it is used for the LED lighting industry, then it is the quality problems of LED lamp itself. And "strobe" is likely the initiator to lead to "blind". Many people are not very clear about the concept of strobe, and even don’t care about its harm. Regarding the hazard of strobe, experts have given the conclusion. A lot of LED lights on the market use the pulse power supply, their cost is relatively cheap, at the same time conducive to adjust the brightness, and also extend the working life of lamp. However, it is not a continuous light, but flicker in a very high speed, we can not see with naked eye. Only our brain and retina can detect the strobe. This kind of flicker may cause headaches, decreased attention and vision loss. Energy Bureau staff told the media that the government should exert more attention to this problem, impr...

How to Test the Junction Temperature of LED?

How to Test the Junction Temperature of LED? We know that the life of LED is closely related to its junction temperature. The key to prolonging its life is to reduce its junction temperature. And the key to reduce the junction temperature is to have a good heat sink that able to exhaust the heat generated by LED in time. So, how to measure the junction temperature of LED? Junction temperature seems to be a temperature measurement problem, but the junction temperature need to measure is in the internal of LED. Can’t we measure its temperature with a thermometer or a thermocouple into the PN junction. Of course, its shell temperature can be measured with thermocouple, and then its junction temperature can be calculated according to the thermal resistance Rjc (junction to the shell). But things become more complicated after installing the radiator. Because usually LED is welded to the aluminum substrate, and the aluminum substrate is installed on the radiator. If you can only measure...

The LED Driver RMS Value Measurement and Analysis

As we known the quality of LED lighting products depend on two points: One is LED chip(light source); Second is LED power driver. In the practice, there only have few company can provide qualified LED chip such as PHILIPS, OSRAM and CREE in the market. Generally, the LED chip have very small change to get quality problem, but we heard many news about low quality LED lighting products was found and caused big losses to customers because of un-qualified LED driver. As considering the importance of LED driver, this article will discuss some technical introduction and measurement technology. There have some necessary test items of LED Power Driver Tester   such as Crest Factor, Effective Power, Reactive Power, Apparent Power, Power Factor, Voltage/Current (RMS value, Average value) and THD harmonic parameters etc. In the practice measurement, lots of people found it have big difference between get from LED driver tester and multimeter, and this difference focus on Voltage/current rms,...

Color difference SDCM

Color difference SDCM Color difference is an important indicator of CFL color performance. Color difference is the difference between computer calculation forma and the target standard, calculated by single lighting source, the value is smaller, accuracy is higher. Please note, it only represents the compared color of a light source, it can not detect the deviation under different light sources. Generally speaking, color difference refers to the distance that the measurement value deviates from the target value, the difference between the light source spectrum and the standard spectrum. It needs provide the target value and calculation formula to know the measurement value of color difference. Standard spectrum changes with color temperature, the color difference is different for the same light source if the standard spectrum is different, but when test, general color photoelectric analysis system can automatically identify the color temperature range where the measured light source is...
