No.1 LEDs
Transforming the world of lighting in every sector – Why?
Energy efficiency up to twice that of fluorescent technologies
No lamps and 50,000 life leads to major maintenance savings.
Small size allows for slimmer, narrow & thinner luminaires.
They are free of the restrictive form factors of lamp technologies.
They work well in emergency mode, because they suit DC current.
Dimming LEDs should extend life and is generally better than with T5.
They have lower toxic content.
Those are all the good things, but what are the negatives?

No.1 LEDs
The negatives
A lot of LED products do not match the claims being made for them *
The initial cost is substantially higher than for a conventional product.
There is a problem of consistency of supply of components
There are often problems of colour performance and stability
The design process is more complex because of rapid evolution
There will be issues of future proofing and product continuity
Most of the life claims for these products are unproven
Overall the positives far outweigh the negatives, and even if it is considered that they don’t , the tide has already turned towards LED ?

Who to buy an LED from?
The same supplier that you would buy any other lighting from. The question of trust is always important and even more so with LEDs.
You need a supplier that can fulfil that trust in:
• Design • Product • Service • After sales

Example project comparison – new project T5 or LED?
Kallista 4 x 14w Vs. Kallista LED on 2500 hours p.a. @ 10p/kWh
Fitting Watts Lumens Initial Cost
Est. 5y Cost
4 x 14w 62 3700 134 £232
44 LED 36 3500 203 £248
The 5 year total cost on a per fitting basis are similar, so other factors are driving the growth of LEDs

Fitting Watts Lumens Initial Cost
Est. 5y Cost

1. Q/C chips from major brands including known information on:
• Flux bins • Colour bins• Drive current• Thermal characterisation
The Technology of LEDs is complex
![Page 11: Innovation in Lighting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5562d696d8b42aac778b4a7a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
2. Quality modules with life data tested to LM-80
• Minimum 6000 h test data for lumen depreciation
• Interpolation of data to L70/B50• 50,000 of operating life• Thermal information on (Tc) points
You must start with good quality LED boards
![Page 12: Innovation in Lighting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5562d696d8b42aac778b4a7a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

3. Colour consistency
• ANSI bins are not acceptable for consistency• Fine binning (3 step MacAdam Ellipse) is
necessary• Bin should be close to Black Body Locus
(BBL)• A.K.A. Standard Deviation Colour Matching
(SDCM)
Ensure you have colour consistency
![Page 13: Innovation in Lighting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5562d696d8b42aac778b4a7a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

4. Colour stability
• LED colour does shift with time/temperature• US study shows substantial shift on some
LEDs• LM-80 6kh shift should be 0.007 uv or less• Temperature should be within operating
window
Understand the issues of colour stability
![Page 14: Innovation in Lighting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5562d696d8b42aac778b4a7a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

5. Optical characteristics
• Uniformity across luminous surface• Colour integrity in all directions• Light distribution / glare level• Surface appearance / texture
Apply a good optical design
![Page 15: Innovation in Lighting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5562d696d8b42aac778b4a7a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

6. Driver quality
• Drivers are most common point of failure• Compatibility with board is important• Case temperature (Tc) data needs to be
known• Interconnection quality is also important
Use a good quality driver
![Page 16: Innovation in Lighting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5562d696d8b42aac778b4a7a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

7. DALI control for dimming
• Interoperability• Soft wiring• Future compatibility• Addressability
Have a DALI option available
![Page 17: Innovation in Lighting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5562d696d8b42aac778b4a7a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

8. DALI control for emergency lighting
• Interoperability• Central automatic test• Monitoring self diagnostic facility• Addressability
A DALI emergency central test option
![Page 18: Innovation in Lighting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5562d696d8b42aac778b4a7a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

9. Independently tested photometrics
• Validated technical information• Dialux photometric engineering• LM-80 life data on key components• Confirmed efficiency of luminaire
Verified photometrics
![Page 19: Innovation in Lighting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5562d696d8b42aac778b4a7a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

10. The product comes with an intelligible warranty
• Clear duration / usage• Clarity of terms and conditions• Not too much small print• From a credible supplier
A warranty worth the name
![Page 20: Innovation in Lighting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5562d696d8b42aac778b4a7a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

No.2 Organic (OLED) or Polymer LEDs (POLED)
What are they?
Usually small glass elements emitting diffuse light
Where are they?
Being used in decorative & low intensity (exit signs) applications
Why not ambient lighting?
Too expensive, not efficient or bright enough and shorter life than LEDs.
What is their future?
Depends on who you talk to. The manufacturing is still difficult and it seems that they are a couple of years away from producing a competitive polymer product.
![Page 21: Innovation in Lighting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5562d696d8b42aac778b4a7a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

No. 3 - DALI controls
Why DALI?
The widest range of drivers is available in DALI, many LED products cannot do DSI and 1-10v is now mainly found on strip/tape products.
What else is driving DALI?
Emergency self – test is now a common requirement and DALI is that standard open protocol. Diagnostics, soft wiring and maintained illuminance are all more popular.
Why not Wireless?
Actuators are expensive and so are most of the peripherals. Effective in small spaces with difficult wiring, but not usually cost effective in large projects. However Harvard have a new system (EyeNut) they claim will change all that.

No. 4 - LiFi
What is it?
A method of data transfer using LED light fittings pulsing at high frequency.
What are the advantages over WiFi?
Security, speed and segregation of information are three potential advantages, but it is too early to say for sure.
Is it available?
Only in experimental form, but development has been swift over the past 2 years. We may see a number of early adopters start using it in 2014.
