This document discusses potential trends in LED luminaires over the next 5-10 years. It predicts that luminaires will be considered long-term building assets, though some components will eventually break. Luminaires will contain identification data to enable repairs. Heat transfer and lumen depreciation will be more accurately characterized. New luminaire designs focusing on task lighting and illuminating surfaces rather than ambient lighting entire spaces will emerge, taking innovative minimalist forms. Sustainability and user needs will increasingly drive lighting design.

Luminaires will follow the trend.

Notas del editor
- When that lighting fixture Is placed into that building, It is possible to project That the lighting fixture will last A long, long time It may very well be expected That the luminaire will last As long as the facility lasts.
- In our world, some parts will fail before other parts. Even if you drive the LED at a lower power to get a lower temperature, as noted in the opening, in the Real World, something might break sometime. What is the client going to do about it? Shocking, but true, some products are not built to be serviced in the field. But lets imagine a world where no one would ever specify a throw-away fixture. implies the potential for failure at any point, say at 1,000 hours, or 4,000, or 6,000. Sometimes things just break.
- And the driver needs to be accessible from inside the fixture as well. You would think the National Electric Code would require this, wouldn't’t you? But they don’t, it is on the back of the specifier to investigate. And it is up to the owner to figure out what part needs to be serviced, and how to get the part, because remember they cant call Their Wholesale Electrical Supplier to get the answer.
- Even when the led fixture manufacture has the ability and commitment to accomplish this, the end-user must have a straight-forward way to identify the exact board in the existing fixture. Some use bar codes (bring your own scanner), some use labels, just make sure that something was used!
- If these cannot be easily and Successfully addressed, Are we ready to specify a whole generation of fixtures that End up here?
- Data indicates LED temp at 55 degree, driver case temperature at 33 degree, driver life at 170K hr. This is actually the case temperature as measured by the manufacture of the driver. But what happens if the LED juncture temperature is higher? Well, the only thing LED temp at 85 degree, driver case temp at?? driver life at ??? Don’t be surprised if the answer is 40K hr. The biggest elephant in the room is driver life, and it is a direct correlation to Heat, and the Heat is coming from the LED, and the place deep within the LED where this heat is generated is called what? Yes! The Juncture
- Yes, like the setting sun. But unlike the sun, which setting is really The constant and predictable revolution of Our planet, The LED sunset is directly related to how hot things Get in that energy exchange juncture. In fact, to even predict the fade rate over time, The industry established a test process so that the juncture Temperature could be established. And, as you now know, The hotter it gets in there, The faster that little LED is going towards the sunset. Nothing really new under the sun
- In the beginning, There was fire. And fire was heat, And the heat was good. Except that, the fire burned out the heat, And the light was gone. Our first experience that light and heat have a relationship over time. Gas Is just another kind of fire. The brighter you burn it, The hotter it gets, the quicker the fuel runs out. End of light! Incandescent light is metal glowing As it is heated through resistance of an electrical flow of energy Eventually, the metal looses enough atoms Through burning up, that the filament breaks. Fluorescent uses two sources to emit light. A high voltage arc stream is sent from one end of the tube To the other end. That excites a small amount of mercury to emit electrons Which in turn strike the phosphorescent coating that is on the inside of the tube, And light is emitted. But, like the incandescent filament, When the metal tips at the end of the tube Looses too much material, they fail. Once again, the light is gone. But, LED’s exhibit a different path. An exchange of electrons flows from a positively charged material To a negatively charged material. In the process of the electron exchange, a particle of light, a photon, Is emitted. Each of these sources exhibit the end of their life in different ways. Fire, of course, burns out The question is, how long will the light source last?
- Yes, you can double the previous numbers, but remember, the context is this: what is the anticipated light loss at 100,000 hours?
- As a unit of data, lumens are a relative term. That is, you can compare how many lumens one source creates, to the lumen package of a second source. But lumens don’t tell you lemons about light coming from a luminaire.
- No discussion of lighting quality makes any sense without the context of the task. This applies to buying groceries, raking leaves, and anything else you can think of. So it is mission critical to consider the task which uses a monitor for information display. Computers and monitors, what else? To have an informed discussion with your client, you need to know what kind of monitor they expect to use. What are the differences? The International Standards Organization, aligned with the Canadian Standards Authority, or as we more popularly know them, ISO-CSA, have established three broad metrics for monitor screen reflective characteristics, and two definitions of screen contrast. You need to know this information: Imatte IIsemi-diffuse IIIspecular And contrast, Positivelight background Negativedarker background Why is this important to the lighting community? Because of how light impacts the “see-ability” of the information on the task surface, that is, the screen surface.
