Why LED?

FACT : Lighting a significant consumer of electricity

Lighting consumes 14% of all electricity consumption within the EU and 19% of global electricity consumption. International Energy Agency 2008

Lighting requires as much electricity as is produced by all gas-fired generation worldwide and 15% more than produced by either hydro or nuclear power. International Energy Agency 2006

Why LED?

LED theoretical limit: 683 lm/W

Introduction - History
History Artificial Light Sun only source of light (moon) 400,000 yrs ago used fire Peking man 80,000 yrs ago Neanderthal man learnt to make fire 40,000 yrs ago oil used to illuminate caves for painting 17th/18th Centuries candles and oil End of 18th Century Gas in London 1800 First electric light invented by Humphrey Davy not long lasting 1860 Joseph Swan longer lasting 1879 Thomas Edison Carbon filament over 1500hrs 1910 First Discharge lamp invented 1939 Fluorescent, 1951 more than Incandescent in US Modern day Fibre, LED, CFL etc

Lighting Fundamentals - What is Light?

Light is Invisible! 186,000 miles a second Electromagnetic Radiation Visible Light 380 760 nanometres (waves/particles) Below infra Red Above X-rays/Radio Lumens/Lux Overcast Daylight 10,00 Lux Direct Sunlight 100,000 Lux Highly illuminated interior 1000 Lux Lamps not bulbs!

Why is the sky blue?

Lighting Fundamentals Colour Spectrum

Colour Spectrum
Colours Sir Isaac Newton (prism-refraction) 7 colours- violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange & red. RGB Equal = white 555nm = peak (son=489) Additive RGB

Lighting Fundamentals Colour Rendering

Colour Rendition (Ra)

Ability of light to render colours in their true hue. Colour rendering index (CRI) 1-100 CRI below Ra70 = Poor CRI of Ra80 to 90 = Good 1b CRI of Ra90 to 100 = Excellent 1a Applications where above would be used? 8 test colours 1971 CIE; LEDs now reviewing

LED Lamps How LEDs work

LED, consist of two types of semiconductors: one that has an abundance of electrons (N-Type) and one that has holes to receive more electrons (P-Type)

PHOSPHOR

When an electrical current is applied to the diode, electrons travel from the N-type side to the P-Type side. When the electrons fall into one of the holes in the P-Type side, they release energy in the form of Photons (light).

In most LEDs the light that is emitted is BLUE and converted to white light by passing through a phosphor-coating; similar to how fluorescent light is made
