  2. There’s an array of different LEDs that are available in the lighting market today. The diverse LED characteristics comprise of light color or radiation wavelength and light intensity among other features. These color characteristics are as a result of an assortment of factors during the manufacturing process. Factors such as semiconductor make-up, fabrication technology used, and encapsulation are also important in determining the LED color appearances. Understanding LED colors Color is a fundamental feature of light emitting diodes (LEDs). Initially, there were a limited number of colors available for these ?xtures. You could only ?nd red LEDs. However, as technology advanced, there have been signi?cant improvements in LED materials and colors. Color Characteristics of LEDs: Color Temperature One important aspect of color appearance is color temperature, which exempli?es how cool/bluish or how warm/yellowish technically white light appears. CCT Correlated Color Temperature (abbreviated as CCT), is actually a metric correlating the source of

  3. light appearance to a pre-heated theoretic dark/black body appearance. As a black-hued body gets hotter, it becomes red, orange, white, and ultimately blue. The CCT value of a light source, provided in Kelvin (K), represents the temperature at which a hot black body closely matches the light source color under investigation. It symbolizes the color of emitted light and not that of illuminated objects. What is Color Rendering Index (CRI)? Metrics Color representation has numerous distinct forms, including reference based systems, gamut based systems, and systems which are built upon sophisticated color appearance models. CRI refers to a measure of ?delity (that’s how ‘true’ a certain light source is when related to a reference source), but it doesn’t address the issue of color appeal and discrimination. Chromaticity and LED Colors Chromaticity refers to an objective interpretation of the quality of color irrespective of its luminance. It consists of two distinct parameters, often described as colorfulness (s) and hue (h). For a speci?ed CCT, a light source with a positive Duv value has a chromaticity which falls above the locus of the blackbody (appearing slightly greenish), while a source featuring a negative Duv value has a chromaticity which falls below the locus the blackbody (appearing slightly pinkish). The In?uence of LED voltage drops

  4. The LED voltage drop often lies between 2 and 4 volts. The actual voltage that occurs across the two terminals is highly dependent on the type of LED/materials used and in?uences the color of LED in question. As expected, the voltage curve of an LED broadly resembles that of a forward diode characteristic. But once the diode is switched on, the voltage becomes relatively ?at for various forward current levels. LED Characteristics: The Summary The following table gives a summarized insight concerning LED color characteristics. Wavelength Range In NM Color Of the LED Voltage(V) at 20MA The Type of Material Below 400 UV(Ultraviolent) 3.1 to 4.4 AIN, AlGaN, AlGalnP 400 to 450 Violet 2.8 to 4.0 GaP,AlGalnP 450 to 500 Blue 2.5 to 3.7 lnGaN 500 to 570 Green 1.9 to 4.0 GaP, AlGalnP 570 to 590 Yellow 2.1 to 2.2 GaAsP, AlGalnP 590 to 610 Orange or Amber 2.0 to 2.1 GaAsP, AlGalnP 610 to 760 Red 1.6 to 2.0 AlGaAs, GaAsP, AlGalnP   Below 760 Infrared Below 1.9 GaAs, AlGaAs   Besides LED color, the following are other major LED speci?cations: Light intensity value( denoted as Iv) Current vs. voltage speci?cation Reverse voltage Angle of view LED Speci?cations for Operational Life

  5. LED’s light intensity doesn’t diminish with time. What this implies is that LEDs have a speci?c operational life. This speci?cation helps determine the application of different kinds of LEDs. LED speci?cations are determined by the following formulas. L known as lumen maintenance)  = The time taken for a 70 percent illumination (this is also 70% L lumen maintenance)  = The time taken for a 50 percent illumination (also known as 50% Note: According to LED standards, your LEDs shouldn’t exhibit any major shift in chromaticity. These ?gures’ rationale is that 70 percent lumen maintenance is equated to a 30 percent light output reduction. This’s an approximate threshold ?gure required to detect to gradual light output reductions. CHROMATICITY COLOR CHARACTERISTICS OF LEDS COLOR RENDERING INDEX (CRI)?
