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.

Light emitting diode, LED, has become a popular device for display and lighting applications. Among them, high power LED array modules are especially interested in the field of street light system, recently. High power LED array module is generally consisted of several pieces of LEDs which are mounted on the PCB with the combination of series and parallel circuits according to the designed operating voltage and power consumption, i.e. total wattages. Since the life time expectancy and brightness of LED are greatly influenced by the operation temperature of LED, thermal management technology of LED module including system design, heat transfer and dissipation become a hot issue in these days. In this work, we would like to present several thick film approaches to fabricate thermally efficient high power, i.e. LED array modules with over 50 watts by using different array package design, materials selection and film forming techniques. Here, we will demonstrate 50 watts LED array modules directly coupled with aluminum, copper or silicon heat sinks which operates at 12volts using 4 × 9, 4 pieces of LED in series multiplied by 9 arrays in parallel, LED array circuit. The microstructure of metal-ceramic multilayers and interfaces, and the heat transfer performance of the LED array modules will be presented.
