Nowadays, signal lights are made using light-emitting diode arrays (LEDs). These devices are extremely energy efficient and have a very long lifetime. Unfortunately, especially for yellow/amber LEDs, the intensity of the light is closely related to the junction temperature. This makes it difficult to design signal lights to be used in naval, road, railway, and aeronautical sectors, capable of fully respecting national and international regulations. Furthermore, the limitations prescribed by the standards must be respected in a wide range of temperature variations. In other words, in the signaling apparatuses, a system that varies the light intensity emitted according to the operating temperature is useful/necessary. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective solution. In order to adjust the intensity of the light emitted by the LEDs, we use an LED identical to those used to emit light as a temperature sensor. The proposed system was created and tested in the laboratory. As the same device as the ones to be controlled is used as the temperature sensor, the system is very stable and easy to set up.

With increasing of the input power of the chips in light emitting diode (LED)， the thermal accumulation of LEDs package increases. Therefore solving the heat issue has become a precondition of high power LED application. In this paper, finite element method was used to analyze the thermal field of high power LEDs. The effect of the heatsink structure on the junction temperature was also investigated. The results show that the temperature of the chip is 95.8°C which is the highest, and it meets the requirement. The conductivity of each component affects the thermal resistance. Convective heat exchange is connected with the heat dissipation area. In the original structure of LEDs package the heat convected through the substrate is the highest, accounting for 92.58%. Three heatsinks with fin structure are designed to decrease the junction temperature of the LEDs package.

Understanding of light-emitting diode lamp behaviour is essential to support the use of these devices as illumination sources in near infrared spectroscopy. Spectral variation in light-emitting diode peak output (680, 700, 720, 735, 760, 780, 850, 880 and 940 nm) was assessed over time from power up and with variation in environmental temperature. Initial light-emitting diode power up to full intensity occurred within a measurement cycle (12 ms), then intensity decreased exponentially over approximately 6 min, a result ascribed to an increase in junction temperature as current is passed through the light-emitting diode. Some light-emitting diodes displayed start-up output characteristics on their first use, indicating the need for a short light-emitting diode ‘burn in’ period, which was less than 24 h in all cases. Increasing the ambient temperature produced a logarithmic decrease in overall intensity of the light-emitting diodes and a linear shift to longer wavelength of the peak emission. This behaviour is consistent with the observed decrease in the IAD Index (absorbance difference between 670 nm and 720 nm, A670–A720) with increased ambient temperature, as measured by an instrument utilising light-emitting diode illumination (DA Meter). Instruments using light-emitting diodes should be designed to avoid or accommodate the effect of temperature. If accommodating temperature, as light-emitting diode manufacturer specifications are broad, characterisation is recommended.

Output Performance

Light-emitting diode is the most dominant lighting technology, and lumen output performance is dependent on junction temperature and operating drive current. An experimental analysis is performed to study the thermal and drive current effect on lumen output, and an empirical model is developed to determine the optimum operating conditions of temperature and drive current so as to obtain a maximum lumen output profile. Three commercially available light-emitting diode down-lighter’s light-emitting diodes are chosen for the study. The investigation reveals that there exists an optimum drive current at which lumen output is maximum, and it has a linear relation with junction temperature. Pulse-soak testing was performed to study the deviations of pulsed and continuous operation of drive current to understand the performance of light-emitting diodes. The work helps light-emitting diode luminaire manufacturers to design a controlled power electronic circuit so as to maximize the lumen output effectively and accurately.

Simulation Results

The influences on thermal and optical performances of light emitting diode (LED) bulbs with three different filament arrangements are investigated in detail. The average junction temperature, temperature of the surface of the bulb, and luminous flux of three samples all increased with increasing power. The thermal performance test results show that between the average junction, temperature and power were linear. The junction temperatures of the three samples at a power of 3.5 W were 102.48, 98.46, and 88.88 °C. The optical performance test results revealed that the luminous flux and efficiency in the two vertical filament arrangements were closely related to each other and higher than that of the horizontal filament arrangement. A numerical model of LED filament bulbs was established by the Floefd 17.2 software for analyzing the temperature distribution of the cross section and the gas flow path inside the bulb. The simulation results illustrated that the average temperatures of three samples were 105.88, 101.83, and 96.12 °C. Additionally, the gas flow inside the bulb of the two vertical filament arrangements was subject to forming a thermal cycle during operation work more than that of the horizontal filament arrangement. As a result, the flexible spiral LED filament bulb is feasible as a new light source.

Light Emitting Diode (LED) is widely used in garden landscape decoration because of its small size, low power, concentrated light, and the capability of showing more vivid colors. While designing the LED lighting system, considering that a single Advanced RISC Machine (ARM)-based control system cannot achieve large-scale LED display, and a single Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based control system cannot control the lighting system well, an LED system with the combination of ARM processor-FPGA is proposed. In this system, the ARM processor is used as the major control component. The Linux system realizes remote monitoring and intelligent management of image data. In addition, FPGA is used for LED data output. The lighting system consists of a major control node and a lighting node. The nodes are connected in parallel through a chain network. The major control node uses an ARM Cortex processor and is equipped with a Linux operating system. The lighting node uses ARM + FPGA hardware architecture. During the experiments, the LED lighting system is tested first. The results show that the reading and writing speed is fast. The LED display screen meets the lighting requirements. This LED lighting system is used for night lighting of garden landscapes. During the brightness test, the brightness of lighting objects and the background is used as research objects. Experiments have proved that the ratio of the lighting object brightness to the background brightness between (Yu, M. and Li, X., 2012.

Thermal management is an important issue for light emitting diodes’ utilization. For high power light emitting diode (LED), active heat dissipation method plays a vital role. As a new cooling device, thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is applied in LED packaging for the precisely temperature controlled advantage. In order to evaluate the thermal performance of the TEC packaging designs in LED, experimental measurement is used to assess the chip’s junction temperature of three different cooling models, which include the heatsink model, the heatsink and fan model and the TEC, heatsink and fan model. Based on the research, it is better to apply TEC cooling methods with the power dissipation of LED less than 35 W and the wind speed is 3.6 m/s. However, the power dissipation of TEC itself plays a vital role of the total power dissipation of LED packaging. The results of economic analysis shows that the LED integrated with TEC package achieves 22.34% and 44.73% electric energy saving under the condition of 20 W and 30 W power dissipation of the LED chip contrasts to the fluorescent lamp, but sacrifices 2.71% electric power under the condition of 10 W power dissipation of the LED chip.
