What is LED?
• The Nature of Light Emitting Diodes and SSL
Technology
– Solid state lighting (SSL) in a revolutionary
platform.
» Light is emitted from a semi-conductor
(diode) as opposed to a vacuum or gas tube.
» Cost effective yet high quality replacement
for incandescent and fluorescent lamps.
• SSL
– Recognized by the DOE as a solution to
ecological pitfalls of incandescent and
fluorescent lighting.
– Allows for the grouping of LEDs to produce a
unified beam.
» High Durability - no filament to break.
» Long Life Span - 25,000 - 50,000 hrs.
» Flexible Application - small size LEDs can lead
to unique lighting devices.
» Low Heat Generation.

LED Evaluation
Innovation through Technology
If you're thinking of using LEDs, but don't know where to begin, the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has created a "frequently
asked questions" guide to assist you. Some of the LED
products available today are marketed as "energy-efficient,"
but actually have very low light output compared to typical
light sources. The combination of high price and low light
output may actually make them a poor replacement for
current technology. It is important to compare new LED
products to the most efficient conventional technology (such
as fluorescent, incandescent, or metal halide) that could be
used in your specific application. The following checklist will
help you determine if an LED product is right for your
application:
•
Ask how many watts the product consumes and how
many lumens of light it produces. Lumens per watt (lpw)
is the commonly used measure of how efficiently a light
source is converting electricity into useable light. For
comparison, incandescent lamps typically produce 12-15
lumens per watt of electric power. CFLs produce at least 50
lumens per watt. Currently available high-brightness LEDs
can produce about 30-35 lumens per watt. In task lighting
applications, LEDs may be able to provide enough light on
the task, even though the total lumens are less than
comparable incandescent or fluorescent sources.
•
Evaluate the cost. For comparison, a 75-watt incandescent
light bulb typically produces about 1,000 lumens and costs
less than $1. The problem is, it only lasts about 1,000 hours
and only converts about 5% of the electricity it consumes into
light (the rest is wasted as heat). A comparable CFL is 5
times more efficient, lasts 10,000 hours, and costs less than
$5. So the conventional light sources cost around $1 per
thousand lumens. Today's white LED products cost more
than $50 per thousand lumens.
•
Assess the need for unique LED features. In some
applications, the extra durability that LEDs can provide is
worth a higher purchase price. Outdoor pathway and step
lighting is an example of a sensible application for today's
white LEDs. They provide a small amount of light right where
it's needed, and can be powered by solar cells, eliminating
the need for running wire outdoors..
•
Check the color of white LEDs. If you've ever tried to match
white paint, you know there are actually many shades of white.
There is a similar issue with lighting. White light varies from
"warm" or more yellow/gold in appearance, to ?cool? or more
blue. Today's white LEDs are typically "cooler" and bluer, even
compared to fluorescent sources.
•
Do LEDs really last 50,000 hours? 100,000 hours? There is
no simple answer to this question. Considering that 100,000
hours is more than 11 years of 24/7 operation, it's difficult to do
life testing on these products! However, SSL researchers have
developed ways to estimate LED life, based on shorter test
periods. Unlike other light sources, LEDs don't typically "burn
out;" they simply get dimmer over time. Although there is not yet
an official industry standard defining "life" of an LED, the leading
manufacturers report it as the point at which light output has
reached 70% of initial light output. Using that definition, the best
white LEDs have been found to have a useful life of around
35,000 hours (that's four years of continuous operation). LED
lifetime is strongly dependent on appropriate electrical and
thermal design of the fixture or system. While LEDs do not emit
heat in the form of infrared radiation (IR), they do generate
conductive heat that must be managed in order for the LED to
maintain expected light output.
•
Why is there such variation among available SSL products,
in terms of efficacy and light output? There is currently a lack
of consensus test procedures and performance standards for
LEDs. The performance of traditional light sources (incandescent,
fluorescent, HID) is determined by accepted test procedures that
are followed industry wide. This allows comparison of products
made by different manufacturers because they all have to test
their products and report results in the same way. In many cases,
test procedures will need to be revised to account for technical
differences in the way LEDs operate, relative to traditional light
sources. DOE is working with the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association (NEMA), the Next Generation Lighting
Industry Alliance, and other industry and research organizations
to begin developing the needed metrics, codes, and standards for
SSL products.

How is White LED Light Made?
• There’s two main ways to get white light
from LEDs
– Combine light from red, green and blue
colored LEDs.
» This is the same way your television
works.
» White, formed this way, can be ‘tuned’ to
produce soft or daylight.
– Utilize a blue LED with a phosphor
coating.
» Coating emits a yellow light when the
blue light from the LED shines on it.
» The mixture of blue and yellow light
forms a white light.
Eco-$mart LED

Why are LEDs Different Colors?
• The color of an LED is a function of the
material used to make the junction.
There are two main ‘flavors’.
– Iridium gallium nitride (InGaN) is used
to make up the blue, white, true green,
and UV types.
– Aluminum gallium indium phosphide
(AlGaInP) is used to make the red,
yellow, and orange types.
• What makes an LED such a good colored
light source?
– When you specify colored light, LEDs
can’t be beat for efficiency
– Highly efficient process involving
wavelengths
– LEDs have a significant advantage in
Exit and Traffic Lights - 15% as opposed
to 5% incandescent efficiency.
