The ability to quickly and easily plant accurate optical and thermal measurements for LED devices has a major positive impact on the system design process, says James Petroski. ![]()
LED designers who typically rate their devices to deliver a certain number of lumens per watt at a certain color spectrum. The thermal performance of the package is also important, as well as the rate at which the light output drops as the temperature rises. If the performances differ from the manufacturers' specifications, systems builders are left with the difficult task of identifying the Problem using trial and error methods and redesigning the system to compensate for the performance variations.
Traditional approaches for measuring LED performance, such as measuring optical performance with an integrating optical sphere, take considerable amounts of time and require interpretation of results that can lead to inaccuracies. A new generation of integrating test systems can reduce the time required to measure LED optical Thermal metrics, as well as optical parameters such as luminous flux and efficancy, can all be measured as a function of temperature And operating current.
