Abstract

This work proposes a datasheet-based methodology to estimate the correlated color temperature (CCT) and the luminous flux of one or a combination of multiple white Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs). This methodology is based on the interaction between the different domains (colorimetrical, optical, thermal and electrical) that control the LED's behavior. An experimental setup with LEDs of 4000K and 6500K CCT was built and tested under multiple operating conditions, in order to verify the accuracy of the proposed method. Results presented good correlation between estimated and measured data, with a maximum error of 1.05% for CCT and 3.13% for luminous flux.
