A History of Light Sources • ~400,000 BCE - Fire is discovered. • ~3000 BCE - Oil lamps are open bowls with a spout to hold the wick. • ~400 - The candle is invented. • 1809 - Sir Humphrey Davey demonstrates electrical discharge lighting to the Royal Institution in London, using an open-air arc between two carbon rods. The result is a very intense, and very pure white light. Unfortunately, as the arc runs, carbon boils off and the rods wear away: constant attention must be paid to readjusting the arc, feeding more carbon in. • 1841 - Frederick DeMoleyns patented incandescent lamp using filaments of platinum and carbon, protected by a vacuum. • 1880 - Thomas Edison receives U.S. patent #223,898 for the carbon filament incandescent lamp. • 1932 - Low pressure sodium lamps are first used commercially. • 1934 - The high-pressure mercury lamp is introduced. • 1938 - First commercial sale of the fluorescent lamp • 1957 - The quartz halogen lamp (A.K.A. tungsten halogen lamp) is invented. In conventional tungsten lamps, the filament metal slowly evaporates and condenses on the glass envelope, leaving a black stain. In this case, the halogen removes the deposited tungsten and puts it back on the filament. • 1962 - First light emitting diode (LED) • 1966 - Commercial introduction of the high pressure sodium lamp • 1969 - A new form of metal halide lamp, the HMI lamp (mercury medium arc iodides) is introduced. The H stands for mercury (atomic symbol "Hg"), M is for Metals and the I is for halogen components (iodide, bromide). It provides a daylight type spectrum.
LED vs Traditional Light Sources Strengths • No filaments like incandescent lamps. • No electrodes like gas discharge lamps (HPS, Metal Halide, and Fluorescent). • No Mercury in the Light Source • Instant On, Full Color, 100% Light; Cold Start Capable • Promise of Long Life – Reduced Maintenance Costs Weakness • High initial cost compared to traditional sources. • Electronic LED driver life can be drastically reduced if exposed to high heat levels. • Electronic LED drivers provide only a fraction of the surge protection that is offered by HID core and coil ballasts.
LED Luminaire and Component Testing • Reliability System Testing • Humidity • Salt Spray • Water IPX6 • Dust IP6X • Vibration testing • Thermal testing on luminaires at -30°C (-30°F) degree to 40°C(104°F) standard, -40°C to 50°C for certain models. • Thermal testing on components from -40°C to 90°C • Require UL accredited test laboratory

Although the luminaire on the left is 27% higher in fixture LPW, it produces less than half the average illumination on the ground To give the same illumination as the lower LPW fixtures, over twice as many of the higher LPW fixtures would be needed, resulting in a net energy increase of 102%

TM-21 – Use the latest data • Initial data variability (i.e. “hump”) is • difficult for models to evaluate (0-1000 hr) • Later data exhibits more characteristic • decay curve of interest • Non-chip decay (encapsulant, etc.) occurs • early and with varying effects on decay curve • Later decay is chip-driven and relatively • consistent with exponential curve • Verification with long duration data sets • (>10,000 hr) shows better model to reality • fit with last 5,000 hours of 10,000 hour data • For 6,000 hours of data (LM-80 minimum) • and up to 10,000 hours: Use last 5,000 hours • For > 10,000 hours: Use the last ½ of the • collected data
TM-21, L70, L80, L90 TM-21 limits reported L70 hours to 6 times the LED test data and combines the Luminaire thermal report information with the LED manufactures LM-80 data to provide accurate prediction of lumen maintenance. • L70 = 70% of initial light output. • L80 = 80% of the initial light output. • L90 = 90% of the initial light output.
Luminaire Classification System (B.U.G.) 180° UH 100° 100° UL 90° 90° FVH BVH 80° 80° BH FH 60° 60° BM Zonal distribution of the fixture are broken up into 10 distinct sections. Values are often in terms of a percentage of overall lamp lumens. FM BL 30° FL 30° 0° Any one rating is determined by the maximum rating obtained for that table. For example, if the BH zone is rated B1, the BM zone is rated B2, and the BL zone is rated B1, then the backlight rating for the luminaire is B2.
