Introduction to LED Lighting and Luminaires

Course Description

Recent developments in the LED technology have fueled the transition of the lighting industry from traditional light sources (incandescent, fluorescent, HID) to the light-emitting diode (LED).  Whether it’s about import or manufacturing, code compliance or lighting applications: the evaluation of the LED lamps and fixtures requires specific knowledge and understanding of technical parameters.

The course focuses on basic knowledge in three main areas: lighting, electricity and thermal regime.  The presentation continues with design and construction details and recommends the selection criteria of LED luminaires as a function of lighting performance, total cost, work environment, and ecological impact.
