Lighting provides an indispensable energy service, illumination. The field of societal exergy analysis considers light (and many other energy products) to be enablers of economic growth, and lighting contributes a non-negligible proportion of total useful exergy supplied to modern economies. In societal exergy analysis, the exergetic efficiency of electric lamps is central to determining the exergy contribution of lighting to an economy. Conventionally, societal exergy practitioners estimate the exergetic efficiency of lamps by an energy efficiency, causing confusion and, sometimes, overestimation of exergetic efficiency by a factor as large as 3. In response, we use recent results from the fields of radiation thermodynamics and photometry to develop an exact method for calculating the exergy of light and the exergetic efficiency of lamps. The exact method (a) is free of any assumptions for the value of the maximum luminous efficacy, (b) uses a non-unity spectral exergy-to-energy ratio, and (c) allows choices for the spectral luminous weighting function, which converts broad-spectrum electromagnetic radiation to light. The exact method exposes shortcomings inherent to the conventional method and leads to a reasonable approximation of lamp exergetic efficiency, when needed. To conclude, we provide three recommendations for societal exergy practitioners: use (a) the exact method when a lamp’s spectral power distribution is available, (b) the universal luminous weighting function, and (c) the reasonable approximation to the exact method when a lamp’s luminous efficacy is known but its spectral power distribution is not.

The text presents differences between the mechanism of seeing and recording images and potential sources of errors in color reproduction in recorded images. The measurements show that despite the relatively high values of indices (Ra, Rf i Rg) not all tested lamps are suitable for use on a photo set, as indicated by the value of TLCI index. The lighting requirements on a film set prioritize the quality of color reproduction, even at the expense of reducing the Luminous efficacy of a source (LES ) value. Full Text: PDF ReferencesL.T.

Existing white light LED technology uses a blue light LED chip to stimulate a phosphor powder to form white light. The phosphor layer on the surface directly affects the colour rendering index, luminous efficacy and colour temperature of the LED. We propose a high power, white LED, chip-on-board package technology to achieve high colour rendering index and high luminous efficacy by optimising the spectral power distribution. The chip-on-board package light source can achieve a colour rendering index over 90 and a luminous efficacy over 90 lm/W while the power is 45W. It can be widely used in commercial lighting applications.

An improved monochromatic radiant source with spectral bandwidth of 4 nm based on supercontinuum laser and a double monochromator was included in absolute cryogenic radiometer-based facility to improve the accuracy of spectral responsivity measurement in the range 0.9–1.6 μm. The developed feedback system ensures stabilization of monochromatic radiant power with standard deviation up to 0.025 %. Radiant power that proceeds detector under test or absolute cryogenic radiometer varies from 0.1 to 1.5 mW in dependence of wavelength. The spectral power distribution of its monochromatic source for various operating mode is presented.

Spectral Power Distribution

Spectral power distribution (SPD) is an essential element that has considerable implications on circadian energy and the perception of lit environments. The present study assessed the potential influences of SPD on energy consumption (i.e., considering circadian energy), visual comfort, work performance and mood. Two lighting conditions based on light-emitting diode (LED) and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) were used as proxies for SPDs of different spectral content: dominant peak wavelength of 455 nm (LED) and 618 nm (OLED). Using measured photometric values, the circadian light (CL), melatonin suppression (MS), and circadian efficacy (CE) of the two lighting sources were estimated via a circadian-phototransduction model and compared. Additionally, twenty-six participants were asked to evaluate the said lit environments subjectively in terms of visual comfort and self-reported work performance. Regarding circadian lighting and the associated energy implications, the LED light source induced higher biological actions with relatively less energy than the OLED light source. For visual comfort, OLED lighting-based conditions were preferred to LED lighting-based conditions, while the opposite was true when considering work performance and mood. The current study adds to the on-going debate regarding human-centric lighting, particularly considering the role of SPD in energy-efficient and circadian lighting practices.

AbstractHyperspectral imaging (HSI) has become a sophisticated technique in modern applications such as food analyses, recycling technology, medicine, pharmacy and forensic science. It allows one to analyse both spatial and spectral information from an object. But hyperspectral cameras are still expensive due to their extended wavelength range. The development of new light-emitting diodes (LED) in the recent past enables another approach to HSI using a monochrome camera in combination with a LED-based illumination. However, such a system has a lower spectral resolution. Additionally, the growing supply of LED on the market complicates the selection of LED. In this paper, we propose a new time efficient selection method for the design process of an illumination. It chooses an optimised LED combination from an existing database to match a predefined spectral power distribution. Therefore, an algorithm is used to evaluate various LED combinations. Furthermore, the method considers the spectral behaviour of each LED in dependence of forward current and temperature of the solder point. Our method has already shown promise during the selection process for even spectral distributions which is demonstrated in the study. Additionally, we will show its potential for HSI illuminations.

Stray light from commercial greenhouses is becoming a significant problem causing disruption to wildlife activity and annoyance for local residents. To quantify the amount of stray light from a typical large greenhouse the authors have modelled several lighting installations based on a range of generic horticultural light sources. The impact of the stray light is dependent on the spectral power distribution of the sources employed, the intensity and distribution. Current standards for obtrusive light from outdoor work places do not seem to be suitable when applied to greenhouses.

The circadian stimulus is an important, validated and updated metric that describes the invisible influences of light on the human circadian system explicitly and scientifically. However, an absolute spectral power distribution must be supplied for its computation, which is only measurable by an expensive and complicated spectrometer. This paper proposes an alternative circadian stimulus computation model that is identified as the function CS(z, Ev) for white light sources based on the most common and simplest parameters of illuminance Ev in lux and the chromaticity coordinate z. These parameters are well known and widely used in both colour science and lighting technology. In order to prove the accuracy and availability of the model, an internal validation was performed with the adapted method repeating split data to check the goodness of the model fit. The fitted model achieved a maximum residual of 0.058 in the circadian stimulus quantity (R2 = 0.998). An external validation with the maximum residual of 0.030 (R2 = 0.999) provided stronger evidence for the usability of the model in applications.
