In this study, the electrical characteristics of SMD-type LED light sources, which have been used for most exit lights since 2007, were analyzed. The relationship between the electrical characteristics of the LED light source and the life of the light source was analyzed. An LED exit light that used a top-view LED and a power LED was used for this experiment. The sizes of the exit lights were medium and small. In addition, the electrical characteristics of the LED light source were analyzed by measuring the input current, light source current, and power values related to the life of the LED. As a result, when the exit lights were of the same size, the top-view LED exit light required less power and lower current than the power LED exit light, and the current and power waveforms were also good. It was also confirmed that the power LED exit light was out of the range of rated power for some samples. Therefore, when developing an LED exit light, checking the voltage, current, power, and heat dissipation of the light source together will improve product quality and future management.

Lighting Application

In the case of light-emitting diode (LED) seaport luminaires, they should be designed in consideration of glare, average illuminance, and overall uniformity. Although it is possible to implement light distribution through auxiliary devices such as reflectors, it means increasing the weight and size of the luminaire, which reduces the feasibility. Considering the special environment of seaport luminaires, which are installed at a height of 30 m or more, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the device, facilitate replacement, and secure a light source with a long life. In this paper, an optimized lens design was investigated to provide uniform light distribution to meet the requirement in the seaport lighting application. Four types of lens were designed and fabricated to verify the uniform light distribution requirement for the seaport lighting application. Using numerical analysis, we optimized the lens that provides the required minimum overall uniformity for the seaport lighting application. A theoretical analysis for the heatsink structure and shape were conducted to reduce the heat from the high-power LED light sources up to 250 W. As a result of these analyses on the heat dissipation characteristics of the high-power LED light source used in the LED seaport luminaire, the heatsink with hexagonal-shape fins shows the best heat dissipation effect. Finally, a prototype LED seaport luminaire with an optimized lens and heat sink was fabricated and tested in a real seaport environment. The light distribution characteristics of this prototype LED seaport luminaire were compared with a commercial high-pressure sodium luminaire and metal halide luminaire.

Abstract Research on mid-IR silicon-based waveguides has recently received strong interest. Particularly, this paper focuses on one of the critical issues in micron-scale photonic integrated circuits, which is to efficiently couple a mid-IR LED (light emitting diode) light source to an external micron-scale waveguide. The optical coupling scheme is crucial for the exploitation of LED light sources in waveguide-based spectroscopic sensing applications. This paper reports optical coupling scheme between an LED mid-IR light source and a silicon rich silicon nitride (SiN) waveguide that could enable the use of LED-based light sources. Finally, the detection limit of the investigated device for carbon dioxide gas detection is calculated.

The problem of climate change poses a challenge for humanity: it is necessary to reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere, caused mainly by the burning of coal in thermal power plants. Partially, this problem can be solved by the use of energy-saving devices and equipment, including the replacement of traditional light sources with more efficient LEDs. This, however, causes the problem of ensuring normal thermal modes of the LEDs, since the more powerfull the LED is, the more heat is released in their semiconductor crystals, which leads to an increase in the temperature of the crystals and a decrease in the reliability of the device. This problem becomes especially urgent when using powerful multi-chip LED light sources, the so-called SOB matrices, whose power even now exceeds 500 W. This article presents a new design of a powerful LED lamp for indoor illumination of rooms with low ceilings. The heat from the LED is transferred via heat pipes to the heat exchanger rings looped around the light source. The heat exchanger rings are cooled by the natural convection of the surrounding air (at an ambient air temperature of 20°C). Computer simulation allowed evaluating the ability of the proposed cooling system to provide a normal thermal mode of the LED light source. The results on the computer simulations of the temperature field of light source`s cooling system showed that when the LED power is 300 W, the temperature of the light source`s base at the point where it is connected to the light source does not exceed 67.6°C. When the contact zone is covered with a 0.1 mm layer of heat-conducting paste (Arctiс Silver 5 type) with a thermal conductivity coefficient of 8.7 W/(m•°C), the temperature of the LED case reaches 70°C. If the thermal resistance of the LED light source is 0.1°C/W, then the temperature of its semiconductor crystals will be 100°C, well below the allowable temperature value of 150°C. The total thermal resistance of the cooling system is 0.159°C/W.

Compared with other light sources, LED light source has a longer service life and will not suddenly fail. Due to its high efficiency, energy saving and long life, LED has become the most popular light source at present. However, it is no longer considered to meet the application requirements, and the time that the light flux decays to this level is considered to be the life of the LED. This paper introduces the approximate method used to predict the lumen maintenance life of LED lamps. The experimental results obtained by the approximate method are compared with the TM-21 standard. Eventually, it is concluded that the approximate method provides more reliability information than the original TM-21 standard, and the obtained results are more reference, more accurate and more reliable.

LED light sources, and powerful multichip light sources in particular, are currently widely used for lighting household and industrial premises. With an increase in power, the amount of heat increases as well, which leads to an increase in the temperature of semiconductor crystals and, accordingly, to a decrease in the reliability of LEDs and a change in their photometric characteristics. Therefore, when developing the design of LED lighting devices, special attention is paid to thermal management. Since the early 2000s, heat pipes have been widely used to efficiently remove heat from powerful electronic components. They do not require power for moving the working fluid and are most suitable for use in LED luminaires. In this study, the authors carry out a computer simulation of a cooling system based on heat pipes, which is then used to design and test a powerful compact LED lamp with a thermal load of up to 100 W. Heat pipes with a length of 150 mm are used to remove heat from the LED light source to the heat exchanger rings located concentrically around it. The heat exchanger rings are cooled by natural convection of the ambient air. The results of computer modeling of the temperature field of the developed cooling system show that at a power of the LED light source of 140.7 W, the temperature of the LED matrix case is 60.5°C, and the experimentally measured temperature is 61.3°C. The experimentally determined thermal power of the LED matrix is 91.5 W. The p–n junction temperature is 79.6°C. The total thermal resistance of the cooling system is 0.453°C/W. The obtained results indicate the effectiveness of the developed design.
