Abstract EN
This paper is concerned with designing light source spectra for optimum luminous efficacy and colour rendering.
We demonstrate that it is possible to design light sources that can provide both good colour rendering and high luminous efficacy by combining the outputs of a number of narrowband spectral constituents.
Also, the achievable results depend on the numbers and wavelengths of the different spectral bands utilized in the mixture.
Practical realization of these concepts has been demonstrated in this pilot study which combines a number of simulations with tests using real LEDs (light emitting diodes).
Such sources are capable of providing highly efficient lighting systems with good energy conservation potential.
Further research is underway to investigate the practicalities of our proposals in relation to large-scale light source production.
