LED Lighting - Color

1. Overview

LED lighting in color applications refers to semiconductor optoelectronic devices that emit visible light through electroluminescence. Unlike monochromatic LEDs, color LED lighting systems offer tunable wavelength outputs, precise color rendering, and dynamic control capabilities. Their energy efficiency (up to 200 lm/W), long operational lifespan (50,000+ hours), and compact form factor have revolutionized modern illumination across architectural, automotive, medical, and consumer electronics sectors.

2. Major Types & Functional Classification

Type	Functional Characteristics	Application Examples
Single-color LEDs	Fixed wavelength emission (450-660nm range), high intensity	Indicator lights, traffic signals
RGB LEDs	Three-in-one chip with red/green/blue elements for 16.7M color combinations	Architectural accent lighting
Tunable White LEDs	Adjustable correlated color temperature (CCT 2200K-6500K)	Smart home lighting systems
Quantum Dot LEDs	Narrow spectral emission (<10nm FWHM), 110% NTSC coverage	High-end display backlighting
Addressable LED Strips	Individually controllable segments via DMX512/WS2812 protocols	Stage lighting, digital signage

3. Structure & Composition

Typical LED lighting systems consist of:

Epitaxial structure: GaN/InGaN on sapphire substrate with multiple quantum wells
Phosphor conversion layer (YAG:Ce for white LEDs) or quantum dot coatings
Metal core PCB (MCPCB) with thermal conductivity >1W/m K
Secondary optics: PMMA/PC lenses with beam angles 8 -120
Constant current driver with PFC >0.9 and dimming control (PWM/0-10V)
Smart interfaces: Zigbee/Wi-Fi/BLE modules for IoT integration

4. Key Technical Specifications

Parameter	Description	Importance
