Properties and Characteristics of Solid-State Lighting (SSL)
Properties of Solid-State Lighting (SSL)
- Energy-efficient: The Produce light directly from the electrical energy and minimizing wastage.
- Long lifespan: The LEDs can last significantly longer compared to traditional bulbs.
- Instant illumination: The LEDs light up instantly without the warm-up time.
- Directional light emission: The LEDs emit light in the specific directions reducing light spillage.
Characteristics of Solid-State Lighting (SSL)
- Color temperature: The LEDs can emit a range of colors by the adjusting the semiconductor material composition.
- CRI (Color Rendering Index): The LEDs offer improved color rendering compared to conventional lighting.
- Dimmability: The LEDs can be easily dimmed for the varying light intensity.
Solid-State Lighting
In this article, we will study solid-state lighting, which is the use of solid-state materials as a source of illumination, usually light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Solid-state lighting, as opposed to conventional incandescent or fluorescent lighting, which depends on thermal processes, produces light as a result of the flow of electrons within a semiconductor material.
