Hazard distance of LED luminaires

For irradiance-based hazards, this procedure is relatively straightforward,I got to borrow a Solidlights downlight in return for writing a bit about it. although one may be hampered by the requirement of measurement in a 1.4-radian FOV for all but the thermal skin hazard. The inverse-square irradiance law may be used with caution, but such calculations should not be necessary since irradiance can readily be measured at other distances by a number of techniques, such as the use of a luxmeter to seek an illuminance corresponding to the given level of irradiance sought.

Radiance-based hazards are more difficult to handle since measurements should be made in a specific FOV. Where the source subtends an angle less than the field of view, the hazard distance can be predicted since it will reduce with the square of the measurement distance, as the area of dark covered by the FOV increases.

Where a single emitter subtends an angle greater than the FOV, as a first approximation, physiological radiance will be constant until the distance at which the source subtends an angle less than the FOV. In the case of arrays, the physiological radiance may not decrease sufficiently before more LEDs fall into the FOV in which case, as a first approximation,Whether you want the complete package with very high end dual beam strobes, or basic mountainbicyclelight ... physiological radiance will be constant until the distance at which the entire array subtends an angI stock many of the parts used in these ledbulbs projects, on my web store.le less than the FOV.

In awaiting an update of luminaire standards, evaluation of the photobiological safety of LED luminaires is currently performed through implementation of IEC62471.Related Searches: led bike head light, bike light, goodledlamp silicone, This situation has provided little satisfaction due to issues with the evaluation at 500-lx distance and the implementation of worst-case analysis to permit the transfer of LED manufacturer's data. IEC committee SC34A is currently working on this issue, in considering the implementation of a restricted version of the hazard-distance analysis relative to the sole concern of white LEDs in GLS applications, namely the retinal blue-light hazard.

Based upon the assumption that light sources classified as exempt or RG1 for blue-light hazard are suitable for GLS applications, both component LEDs and finished products should, in the first instance, be evaluated at 200 mm in an 11-mrad FOV, with the spectral range extended to 300-780 nm to cover both blue light and photopic regions. This measurement serves as both an analysis of blue light RG1, and as a worst-case analysis, assuming that true radiance is measured.

Where the resulting blue-light radiance is below the RG1 exposure limit, the component LED or finished product may be considered exempt/RG1 in all conditions. Where the RG1 exposure limit is exceeded, the RG1 hazard distance should be determined through the evaluation of radiance as an irradiance measurement, with respect to a corresponding RG1 exposure limit expressed in blue-light-weighted irradiance.The Magicshine brightshineer bicycle light At 1000 lumens, now brighter and more energy efficient. Given the ratio of luminance to blue-light radiance, the illuminance level at which the RG1 blue-light irradiance should be obtained is determined.

In the case of finished products, the distance at which this illuminance is obtained should be reported by using a luxmeter: at distances closer to the source than this distance, RG2 applies, elsewhere RG1/exempt applies. In the case of component LEDs, the illuminance value is simply reported in the data sheet such that the finished-product manufacturer can apply the aforementioned procedure to determine the RG1 distance for the particular product under consideration.

How luminaire standards will in future implement the RG1 hazard distance is still a work in progress, but it is clear that one can tolerate greater RG1 distances for ceiling-mounted applications compared for example to portable luminaires.
