PRODUKTNAME LED TECHNOLOGY SEITENTHEMA 5 5 SMD LEDs (Surface Mounted Device LEDs) Chip-on-board LEDs The LED chip is stuck directly onto the circuit board, then wired These are stuck onto the sur-
face of the circuit board and
then dip soldered. The linear LED circuit board in the KAVA LED luminaire, for
example, is fitted with SMD
LEDs. up in place and given an epoxy
lens, a so-called bubble, which
defines the light distribution. Depending on the distinctive characteristics of the bubble, a COB LED can therefore provide
narrow-beam or extremely wide-
angle light distribution. During product development, the right type of LED must be
selected and adapted to suit the
luminaire, depending on the
application area and lighting
technology. >

A white LED can produce light in two ways: firstly by RGB colour mixing, where the colour triangle is used to produce a neutral, but difficult to define,
white. The second common
method of producing white light
is based on the principle of
luminance conversion. A lumi-nescent layer similar to that in
a fluorescent lamp is placed
above a blue LED chip so that part of the blue light is converted into white light. Depending on
the composition of the conver-
sion layer material, the colour
temperature varies from 3,000
to 8,000 K. >
