Typical CRI values Incandescent 100 Halogene 100 Fluorescence 80-90 MH ceramic 80-95 HP Hg 45-60 HPS 25 LED 65 - 95 Technical specs: colourrenderingindex The CRI is reflecting the average value basing onstandardreferencevalues 9 Deepred 10 Deepyellow 11 Deep green 12 Deepblue 13 Skin 14 Chlorophyll 1 Old pink 2 Mustardyellow 3 Yellow green 4 Light green 5 Turquoise 6 Light blue 7 Purple 8 Lilac The higherthe CRI thelowerthesystemefficacy
Technical specs: colourrenderingindex LED CRI 80 DECHARGE CRI 80 R9 = 27,8 R12 = 62,9 R9 = 0 R12 = 95 Source : iLED + OSRAM
Technical specs: binning The LED binning assures the homogeneityfrom LED to LED as well as the homogeneity of the complete installation Source : OSRAM Fine binning example Note : a binning indication in +/- Kelvin gives only a limited indication MacAdam steps (SDCM): Area in which no colour difference is visible Colour differences gets visible above the value of 3 Only a MacAdamsStepsvalueisgranting a goodhomogeneityof an LED basedlightingsystem.
Technical specs: system lifetime Light output maintenance / lifetime ratio Example MH 70W Initial lm ECG : 6600 lm Average L70 lmECG : 5250 lm = 80% LED Source : ENDO
Technical specs : system lifetime Exampleandinterpretation of an LED lifetime curve
T° • More temperature • Shorter lifetime • Less light output A • More current • More light output • Shorter lifetime Temperature Light output C° • Good thermomanagement • More light output • Longer lifetime Lifetime Temperaturecontrol=Lifetimecontrol Technical specs: system lifetime A good thermal managementofthe LED systemsgrantsthespecified/extrapolatedlifetimevalue. Current Source : OSRAM
Technical specs: glare A topic toconsiderwith attention • An LED based system can show very attractive technical features • In the application the result can unfortunately be very disappointing for the users • LED light sources have a very punctual light emission surface creating very high luminance values • It is very important to consider this topic when considering an LED lighting system especially when it comes to illuminate work spaces
