Lifetime predictions for dimmable two-channel tunable white luminaires
Davis, J., Smith-McLallen, A., Clark, T., Mills, K., & Perkins, C. (2017). Lifetime predictions for dimmable two-channel tunable white luminaires. In 2017 16th IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems: (ITherm) Article 1049 https://doi.org/10.1109/ITHERM.2017.7992604
Single-color LED-based luminaires are making significant market penetration in many demanding lighting applications, and LED lighting systems are establishing a level of performance that all future lighting systems must meet or exceed. The next wave of LED lighting technology is likely to be white tunable luminaires (TWL) that can adjust the spectrum of the emitted light between a range of values. This capability allows the light system to produce white light of an appropriate spectrum for the task at hand. For example, a warmer light (i.e., lower correlated color temperature (CCT)) could be used for more relaxed tasks such as conversations, while a cooler light (i.e., higher CCT) could be used for tasks requiring greater concentration and higher visual acuity [1]–[3].
