• Color mixing is the process of combining various wavelengths of light to produce white or other colors

• The primary colors of LIGHT are: Red, Green, and Blue

• Color mixing of light is an additive process.

• Example: light sources

LIGHTING METRICS

Luminous Flux Efficacy

Luminous Intensity Luminance Illuminance

36

Page 37: Lighting systems 2014

LUMINOUS FLUX

Luminous Flux is the light output of a source measured in all directions

Defined as the flow of light, Φ

Measured in lumens A lamp receives watts

and emits lumens. The measure of success of doing this is called efficacy and is measured in lumens per watt (lm/W)

37

Page 38: Lighting systems 2014

38

Page 39: Lighting systems 2014

LUMINOUS INTENSITY

Generally speaking, a light source emits its luminous flux (Φ) in different directions and at different intensities.

The visible radiant intensity in a particular direction is called luminous intensity (I).

The unit of measurement is the candela (cd).

39

Page 40: Lighting systems 2014

ILLUMINANCE (LUMINOUS LEVEL)

40

As luminous flux travels outward from a source, it ultimately impinges on surfaces, where it is reflected, transmitted, and/or absorbed

Illuminance on a surface, E is the density of luminous flux incident on that surface Measured in lumens per square meter Lumen/m2 is called a lux

while lumen/ft2 is called

footcandle

Page 41: Lighting systems 2014

INVERSE SQUARE LAW

41

Page 42: Lighting systems 2014

LUMINANCE

42

Page 43: Lighting systems 2014

It is the quantity of incidental light falling on a unit of surface, taking into consideration that it is uniformly illuminated.

Unit of measurement is candelas per square meter (cd/m2).

LUMINANCE

43

Page 44: Lighting systems 2014

It is the quantity of incidental light falling on a unit of surface, taking into consideration that it is uniformly illuminated.

Unit of measurement is candelas per square meter (cd/m2).

Page 45: Lighting systems 2014

LUMINANCE

45

Page 46: Lighting systems 2014

COSINE LAW OF INCIDENCE

46

Page 47: Lighting systems 2014

If the surface is turned so that the rays hit it at an angle, the illuminated area will increase in size and the illuminance will drop accordingly.

The ratio of the original illuminated area to the new area is equal to the cosine of the angle through which the surface has been moved. Therefore the illuminance will fall by the factor of the cosine of angle. This is where Lamberts Second Law comes in, the COSINE LAW of illuminance.

COSINE LAW OF INCIDENCE

47

Page 48: Lighting systems 2014

If a surface is illuminated to 100 lux and is twisted through an angle of 60 degrees then the illuminance will fall to half or 50 lux, because the cosine of 60 degrees is ½.

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION(LINEAR FLUORESCENT LAMPS)

78

Page 79: Lighting systems 2014

HOW IT WORKS(LINEAR FLUORESCENT LAMPS)

79

When a suitable lighting voltage is applied across the electrodes, an electric arc discharge is initiated and the resulting current ionizes the vaporized mercury in the tube

The ionized mercury emits ultra-violet (UV) radiation that strikes and excites the phosphor coating on the inside surface of the tube, causing it to glow or fluoresce and produce visible light

Page 80: Lighting systems 2014

HOW IT WORKS (LINEAR FLUORESCENT LAMPS)

80

The exact makeup of the phosphors coating the tube determines the color temperature of the light produced by the lamp

A ballast is required to regulate the electric current through the lamp

Page 81: Lighting systems 2014

START UP CIRCUIT

http://home.howstuffworks.com/81

Page 82: Lighting systems 2014

HOW IT WORKS (LINEAR FLUORESCENT LAMPS)

82

Preheat (“Switch Start)A switch or starter establishes a complete

circuit through the ballast to preheat the filaments

When the filaments heat up, the starter opens and the ballast provides a suitable voltage to light the lamp and limits the current flow to the proper value

Several seconds may be required to complete the starting operation

Page 83: Lighting systems 2014

STARTER SWITCH

83

Page 84: Lighting systems 2014

HOW IT WORKS (LINEAR FLUORESCENT LAMPS)

84

Rapid Starttransformers are introduced to pre-heat the

cathodesthey are connected across the lamp pins so the

cathode voltage and resultant watts loss remain part of the circuit while the lamp is operating

Page 85: Lighting systems 2014

HOW IT WORKS (LINEAR FLUORESCENT LAMPS)

85

Trigger Starta term used for ballasts, which operate pre-

heat start lamps in a rapid start mannerThey supply higher filament voltages to heat

the electrodes to start pre-heat lamps and simulate the rapid start system

Modified Rapid StartBallasts start the lamps in a rapid start mode,

but then, turn off or reduce the filament heat after the lamps have started

Page 86: Lighting systems 2014

HOW IT WORKS (LINEAR FLUORESCENT LAMPS)

86

Instant StartBallasts deliver an initial high voltage to light

specifically designed Instant Start LampsThe arc current heats the filament by

bombardment to provide easy electron emission

No preheating of the filament is required to light the lamp

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION(COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS)

88

Page 89: Lighting systems 2014

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION(COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS)

Consists of a lamp (often with a starter integrated into the base), a lamp holder, and a ballast

Based on the principle of the fluorescent tube in which a phosphor coating transforms some of the UV energy generated by the discharge into light

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION (HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE LAMPS)

91

High intensity discharge (HID) lamps Metal halide (MH) High pressure sodium (HPS) lamps high-pressure mercury vapor lamps

Like fluorescent lamps, HID lamps require ballasts to: provide proper starting and operating voltages, and they

produce light through the discharge of an electric arc through a mixture of gases

HID lamps utilize a compact “arc tube” in which very high temperature and pressure exist; this small arc tube closely resembles a point source of light, making HID lamps and their luminaires both compact and powerful

LAMP(HPL)

94

A mercury-vapor lamp is a gas discharge lamp that uses an electric arc through vaporized mercury to produce light.

The arc discharge is generally confined to a small fused quartz arc tube mounted within a larger borosilicate glass bulb.

The outer bulb may be clear or coated with a phosphor; in either case, the outer bulb provides thermal insulation, protection from the ultraviolet radiation the light produces, and a convenient mounting for the fused quartz arc tube.

Page 95: Lighting systems 2014

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION HIGH PRESSURE MERCURY VAPOR

LAMP(HPL)

95

Mercury vapor lamps are coated on the inside of the outer bulb with a phosphor that converts some portion of the ultraviolet emissions into red light.

This helps to fill in the otherwise very-deficient red end of the electromagnetic spectrum.

These lamps are generally called "color corrected" lamps.

Most modern mercury vapor lamps have this coating.

ADVANTAGESLED

119

LEDs don't have filaments that will burn out, so they last much longer.

Additionally, their small plastic bulb makes them a lot more durable. They also fit more easily into modern electronic circuits.

But the main advantage is efficiency. In conventional incandescent bulbs, the light-

production process involves generating a lot of heat (the filament must be warmed).

This is completely wasted energy, unless you're using the lamp as a heater, because a huge portion of the available electricity isn't going toward producing visible light.

Page 120: Lighting systems 2014

ADVANTAGESLED

120

LEDs produce more light per watt than incandescent bulbs; this is useful in battery powered or energy-saving devices.

LEDs can emit light of an intended color without the use of color filters that traditional lighting methods require. This is more efficient and can lower initial costs.

The solid package of the LED can be designed to focus its light. Incandescent and fluorescent sources often require an external reflector to collect light and direct it in a usable manner.

Page 121: Lighting systems 2014

ADVANTAGESLED

121

When used in applications where dimming is required, LEDs do not change their color tint as the current passing through them is lowered, unlike incandescent lamps, which turn yellow.

LEDs are ideal for use in applications that are subject to frequent on-off operation, unlike fluorescent lamps that burn out more quickly when cycled frequently, or HID lamps that require a long time before restarting.

Page 122: Lighting systems 2014

ADVANTAGESLED

122

LEDs, being solid state components, are difficult to damage with external shock. Fluorescent and incandescent bulbs are easily broken if dropped on the ground.

LEDs can have a relatively long useful life. LEDs light up very quickly. A typical red indicator

LED will achieve full brightness in microseconds LEDs can be very small and are easily populated

onto printed circuit boards. LEDs do not contain mercury, unlike compact

fluorescent lamps.

Page 123: Lighting systems 2014

DISADVANTAGESLED

123

LEDs are currently more expensive, price per lumen, on an initial capital cost basis, than more conventional lighting technologies. The additional expense partially stems from the relatively low lumen output and the drive circuitry and power supplies needed. However, when considering the total cost of ownership (including energy and maintenance costs), LEDs far surpass incandescent or halogen sources and begin to threaten compact fluorescent lamps.

LED performance largely depends on the ambient temperature of the operating environment. Over-driving the LED in high ambient temperatures may result in overheating of the LED package, eventually leading to device failure.

Page 124: Lighting systems 2014

DISADVANTAGESLED

124

LEDs must be supplied with the correct current. This can involve series resistors or current-regulated power supplies.

The spectrum of some white LEDs differs significantly from a black body radiator, such as the sun or an incandescent light. The spike at 460 nm and dip at 500 nm can cause the color of objects to be perceived differently under LED illumination than sunlight or

incandescent sources.

High Frequency Electronic BallastsAlso called “solid-state ballasts” which operate

at 20 kHz using electronic switching power supply circuits Increase lamp-ballast efficacy, leading to increased energy efficiency of the fixture and lower operating costs

They operate lamps using electronic switching power supply circuits; take incoming 60 Hz power (230 V) and convert it to high frequency AC (usually 20 to 40 kHz)
