Colours have a special influence on brand recognition. It is hardly<br />

surprising then that great importance is attached to this aspect.<br />

The most frequently used method for assessing colour rendering<br />

is the MacAdam ellipse. Colour differences can be detected or not,<br />

depending on the precision with which the colour quality is specified.<br />

The picture shows the colour locations of the MacAdam ellipse for<br />

the colours yellow and daylight white in the CIE chromaticity diagram<br />

of 1931. In addition to the colour location in the CIE chromaticity<br />

diagram, the intensity of the die and of the glob-top ( colour conversion<br />

layer ) is shown. The Planckian curve defines an area of the chromaticity<br />

diagram in which there is no discernible colour difference for the human<br />

eye in terms of white light. This phenomenon is used to define<br />

the phosphor to ensure the optimum white light impression.<br />

This means that T modules are available with<br />

defined colour temperatures of 3,000 K ( warm white ),<br />

4,200 K ( neutral white ) and 6,500 K ( daylight white )<br />

to provide light of impressive uniformity. New encapsulation<br />

materials with reduced yellowing are being<br />

used to achieve higher luminances and therefore<br />

outstanding luminous flux stability.<br />

The 140° wide-beam characteristic also helps to ensure<br />

homogeneous illumination with a small mounting depth<br />

and reduced number of light sources. In addition, the<br />

optimised thermal management of chip-on-board technology<br />

reduces the temperature of the light-emitting<br />

diodes and therefore improves their reliability.<br />

The wide range of high-intensity LED modules in white,<br />

colour or RGB underlines the power of innovation of<br />

Tridonic in this pioneering sector.<br />
