LED Lighting : Technology and Perception (Hardcover)

Promoting the design, application and evaluation of visually and electrically effective LED light sources and luminaires for general indoor lighting as well as outdoor and vehicle lighting, this book combines the knowledge of LED lighting technology with human perceptual aspects for lighting scientists and engineers.
After an introduction to the human visual system and current radiometry, photometry and color science, the basics of LED chip and phosphor technology are described followed by specific issues of LED radiometry and the optical, thermal and electric modeling of LEDs. This is supplemented by the relevant practical issues of pulsed LEDs, remote phosphor LEDs and the aging of LED light sources. Relevant human visual aspects closely related to LED technology are described in detail for the photopic and the mesopic range of vision, including color rendering, binning, whiteness, Circadian issues, as well as flicker perception, brightness, visual performance, conspicuity and disability glare. The topic of LED luminaires is discussed in a separate chapter, including retrofit LED lamps, LED-based road and street luminaires and LED luminaires for museum and school lighting. Specific sections are devoted to the modularity of LED luminaires, their aging and the planning and evaluation methods of new LED installations. The whole is rounded off by a summary and a look towards future developments.

本書旨在促進對於室內照明、室外照明和車輛照明的視覺和電氣效果的LED光源和燈具的設計、應用和評估。它結合了LED照明技術的知識和人類感知方面，針對照明科學家和工程師進行介紹。
在介紹人類視覺系統和當前輻射度量學、光度學和色彩科學之後，本書描述了LED芯片和磷光體技術的基礎，接著介紹了LED輻射度量學以及LED的光學、熱學和電學建模的特定問題。此外，還介紹了脈衝LED、遠程磷光體LED和LED光源老化等相關實際問題。與LED技術密切相關的人類視覺方面在光視和暗視範圍內進行了詳細描述，包括色彩再現、分類、白度、昼夜節律問題，以及閃爍感知、亮度、視覺表現、顯著性和視覺干擾等。本書還在一個單獨的章節中討論了LED燈具，包括改裝LED燈泡、基於LED的道路和街道燈具，以及用於博物館和學校照明的LED燈具。特定的部分專門討論了LED燈具的模塊化、老化以及新LED安裝的規劃和評估方法。全書以總結和對未來發展的展望作為結尾。
