On Characteristics of LED
Products
LED (Light
Emitting Diode) lights attract a great deal of attention as “a light for
the 21st century”. This is the field where the market is fast growing as
the LED light can be an alternative light source to a conventional
incandescent bulb and fluorescent bulb. Compared to an incandescent lamp
(bulb type), LEDs have lower power consumption and a longer lifetime.
There are a number of advantages including being environment-friendly
and having an excellent response speed. This technology is already
introduced into a broad range of applications such as illumination, back
lights, indicators and decorative lighting.
LED lights and bulbs bear the following characteristics:
1. Color with High purity and vividness. So far, LED products almost
cover the whole spectrum of visible light and the vividness of the color
is much higher than the traditional bulbs. The traditional way to
generate the multicolor light is utilizing filters which reduce the
luminous efficacy of light source.
2. Long service life. The power consumption is 1/5 to 1/10 less and
durability is 10 times longer compared to light bulbs. In LED technology
development, the primary three colors of light have been developed and
it became possible to realize a full-color display, which is utilized in
coloring the display field.
The average life expectancy of an LED light is 100,000 hours, which can
greatly reduce the maintenance costs of lighting, avoid the often-bitter
lights.
3. LED lights have no mercury in light source and no ultraviolet
radiation in beam of light. LED is a kind of solid light source and
environmentally friendly and can meet the special requirements for
commodity exhibition at perfume store, jewel store, museum and art
gallery.
4. LED is a kind of solid light source and resistant to shock.
The low-calorie, non-thermal radiation, cold light source can be safely
arrived in touch: to precise control of light and luminous perspective,
soft-color, non-glare; No mercury, sodium and other elements of the
potential health hazards of substances. Built-in micro-processing system
luminous intensity can be controlled to adjust luminescence, optical and
art combined.
5. Less power consumption. Single-tube power LED 0.03 ~ 0.06 kilowatts,
a DC-driven, single-drive voltage of 1.5 to 3.5 volts, the current 15 to
18 milliamperes, reaction speed, high-frequency operation. The same
lighting effects circumstances, the power consumption is the eighth
incandescent bulbs, fluorescent tubes in half, Japan estimated that the
use of optical efficiency than fluorescent lamps to replace twice the
Japanese half of the LED and fluorescent lighting. Annual savings is
equivalent to 60 million liters of crude oil. Lights on the bridge
parapet cases, the same effect of a 40-watt fluorescent, and each LED
used only 8 watts of power, but can Colorful changes.
6. The color of LED light is dynamic and can be set at different
brightness. The combination of three original color of red, green and
blue can be modulated through PWM.
7. LED light has strong emitting direction and makes good use of
luminous flux; besides, it’s a mini kind of light and is quite easy to
design the outlook and to control the light intensity.
8. LED can be powered with direct current which is safer.
9. LED can be started up in milliseconds with no influence of startup
temperature and realizes the full luminous flux instantly.

2. On causes of LED
lumen attenuation
LED lumen attenuation is the weakening of the light
signal during transmission. LED products made by global leading
manufacturers at the present stage have lumen attenuation in different
grades after used for a period of time and this phenomenon also exists
in high power LEDs. Then, what causes LED attenuation? Lumen attenuation
is directly related to the temperature, and is mainly determined by the
chip, phosphor used and the packaging technology. At present, lumen
attenuation has become the chief problem for white LED to march into
civil lighting field. There are two main problems that cause LED lumen
attenuation:

1. The
brightness of LED will attenuate quickly if the quality of the adopted
LED chip is not good.
2. The
production technology has some defects. If the heat generated by LED
chips can not be exported out of the chip smoothly by the PINs, LED
chips may be over heated and thus causing chip attenuation more serious.
Ⅱ The
operating condition
1. LED
should be drove by constant current, if drove by voltage, LED lumen
attenuation will be caused.
2. If the
driving current is larger than the rated value, LED lumen may easily get
attenuated.
Among the
various causes of LED products lumen attenuation, “heat” is the pivotal
one. Many manufacturers pay little attention to the heat dissipation of
the products, leading to a much more serious lumen attenuation compared
to those products that dissipate heat properly. Besides, thermal
resistance of the LED chip itself, silver colloid, the heat dissipation
effect of the substrate and golden wire problems are also related
closely to LED lumen attenuation. |
