Light emitting diodes, with advantages in energy savings, luminous efficacy and greater reliability, are becoming preferred over conventional white light sources. Currently, only light output depreciation is considered for life estimation of light emitting diode luminaires but it is recommended to include colour shift variations for applications demanding colour stability. In this paper, an extended Kalman filter is employed to determine L70 life and colour temperature degradation over life of a light emitting diode luminaire. The colour shift in terms of Duv is determined by statistical polynomial cure fitting. The variation in chromaticity coordinates over life is determined and life based on colour shift is determined by acceptable Duv limits. The results are compared to life determined by the IES-TM-21 method and the correlated colour temperature limits taken from the luminaire data sheet.

Supplemental Lighting

Electric supplemental lighting can account for a significant proportion of total greenhouse energy costs. Thus, the objectives of this study were to compare high-wire tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) production with and without supplemental lighting and to evaluate two different lighting positions + light sources [traditional high-pressure sodium (HPS) overhead lighting (OHL) lamps vs. light-emitting diode (LED) intracanopy lighting (ICL) towers] on several production and energy-consumption parameters for two commercial tomato cultivars. Results indicated that regardless of the lighting position + source, supplemental lighting induced early fruit production and increased node number, fruit number (FN), and total fruit fresh weight (FW) for both cultivars compared with unsupplemented controls for a winter-to-summer production period. Furthermore, no productivity differences were measured between the two supplemental lighting treatments. The energy-consumption metrics indicated that the electrical conversion efficiency for light-emitting intracanopy lighting (LED-ICL) into fruit biomass was 75% higher than that for HPS-OHL. Thus, the lighting cost per average fruit grown under the HPS-OHL lamps was 403% more than that of using LED-ICL towers. Although no increase in yield was measured using LED-ICL, significant energy savings for lighting occurred without compromising fruit yield.

Organic light-emitting diode is one of the future-proof solid-state-based lighting sources. OLED shows great aesthetic advantages and good color quality without glare. Moreover OLED is a kind of surface light sources naturally. There are some studies on the long-term reliability characteristics of OLED light source. However, these studies focused on the light output degradation of OLED light sources mainly. In this paper, we have investigated the long-term reliability characteristics of OLED panel and luminaires in terms of lumen maintenance, correlated color temperature, color rendering index, and operating voltage. Total twelve OLED panels with four different kinds and six OLED luminaires with two different kinds were analyzed up to six thousand hours and analyzed for the general lighting applications.

A light-emitting diode (LED) system covering plant-receptive wavebands from ultraviolet to far-red radiation (360 to 760 nm, “white” light spectrum) was investigated for greenhouse productions of Thymus vulgaris L. Biomass yields and amounts of terpenoids were examined, and the lights’ productivity and electrical efficiency were determined. All results were compared to two conventionally used light fixture types (high-pressure sodium lamps (HPS) and fluorescent lights (FL)) under naturally low irradiation conditions during fall and winter in Berlin, Germany. Under LED, development of Thymus vulgaris L. was highly accelerated resulting in distinct fresh yield increases per square meter by 43% and 82.4% compared to HPS and FL, respectively. Dry yields per square meter also increased by 43.1% and 88.6% under LED compared to the HPS and FL lighting systems. While composition of terpenoids remained unaffected, their quantity per gram of leaf dry matter significantly increased under LED and HPS as compared to FL. Further, the power consumption calculations revealed energy savings of 31.3% and 20.1% for LED and FL, respectively, compared to HPS. In conclusion, the implementation of a broad-spectrum LED system has tremendous potential for increasing quantity and quality of Thymus vulgaris L. during naturally insufficient light conditions while significantly reducing energy consumption.

Interconnection Material

As a solid electroluminescent source, white light emitting diode (LED) has entered a practical stage and become an alternative to replace incandescent and fluorescent light sources. However, due to the increasing integration and miniaturization of LED chips, heat flux inside the chip is also increasing, which puts the packaging into the position to meet higher requirements of heat dissipation. In this study, a new interconnection material—nanosilver paste is used for the LED chip packaging to pursue a better optical performance, since high thermal conductivity of this material can help improve the efficiency of heat dissipation for the LED chip. The bonding ability of this new die-attach material is evaluated by their bonding strength. Moreover, high-power LED modules connected with nanosilver paste, Sn3Ag0.5Cu solder, and silver epoxy are aged under hygrothermal aging and temperature cycling tests. The performances of these LED modules are tested at different aging time. The results show that LED modules sintered with nanosilver paste have the best performance and stability.

Unlike other light sources such as fluorescent lamps and incandescent bulbs, light-emitting diodes (LED) convert 70∼80% of energy into heat. If the heat produced an LED chip is not effectively released, its luminous efficiency and lifespan are reduced. Therefore, as a method effectively release heat, an LED PKG substrate containing a heat-releasing material with excellent thermal conductance was fabricated, and its thermal resistance and luminous efficiency were analyzed. In this experiment, a thin polyimide film with excellent ductility was used to fabricate the LED PKG substrate. A 35-μm-thick Cu foil with excellent thermal conductance was subjected to high temperature and pressure and attached to both sides of the polyimide film. By electroplating Ag or Au, which has excellent thermal conductance, for us as the electrode and heat-releasing material, LED PKG substrate was fabricated with a thickness of approximately 170 μm. (−40 °C → RT → 120 °C). The results revealed that the LED PKG substrate having a Ag electrode with excellent thermal conductance had an excellent thermal resistance of approximately 4.2 °C/W (Au electrode: 5.6 °C/W). The luminous flux after 100 cycles in the thermal shock test was reduced by approximately 0.09% (Au electrode: 2.77%), indicating that the LED PKG substrate had excellent thermal resistance without any mechanical and material defects in a rapid-temperature-changing environment. The advantages and excellent thermal resistance can be exploited in cellular phones and LCD panels, and heat-releasing problems in thin panels be solved.

A parallel and series network structure was introduced into the design of the high-voltage single-chip (HV-SC) light-emitting diode to inhibit the effect of current crowding and to improve the yield. Using such a design, a6.6×5 mm2large area LED chip of 24 parallel stages was demonstrated with 3 W light output power (LOP) at the current of 500 mA. The forward voltage was measured to be 83 V with the same current injection, corresponding to 3.5 V for a single stage. The LED chip’s average thermal resistance was identified to be 0.28 K/W by using infrared thermography analysis.
