Abstract
Description
- Die Effizienz der LEDs nimmt mit zunehmender Temperatur ab. Im Gegensatz dazu steigt bei herkömmlichen Lichtquellen wie Glühlampen die Effizienz. Daher ist bei LED-Lichtquellen eine gewisse Reserve an Lichtleistung vorzusehen, um die Helligkeitsvorgaben über einen spezifizierten Temperaturbereich und insbesondere auch bei einer Temperaturerhöhung erfüllen zu können.
- Die Effizienz der LEDs nimmt während der LED-Lebensdauer aufgrund von Alterung langsam ab. Diese Effizienzabnahme wird bei herkömmlichen LED-Lichtquellen durch eine Überdimensionierung, also ebenfalls eine Reserve an Lichtleistung zu Beginn der Lebensdauer kompensiert.
- Eine LED-Lichtquelle besteht aus einer Vielzahl von einzelnen Lichtpunkten. Durch diese Vielzahl an Lichtpunkten ergeben sich neue Formen von Fehlerzuständen (Ausfallbilder). So kann gegenüber herkömmlichen Lichtquellen bei einer LED-Lichtquelle beispielsweise die Hälfte der LEDs ausgefallen sein, während die andere Hälfte noch intakt ist und weiterhin leuchtet. Bei einer herkömmlichen Lichtquelle mit einer Glühlampe bedeutet ein Ausfall hingegen in der Regel einen Totalausfall.
- Die geforderten Mindesthelligkeiten und Leuchtdichteverteilungen, zum Beispiel gemäß EN 12368, werden über die gesamte Einsatzdauer erfüllt.
- Die geforderten Mindesthelligkeiten, zum Beispiel gemäß EN 12368, werden nur geringfügig, bevorzugt um etwa 20%, überschritten, damit der Signalgeber nicht zu hell wirkt.
- Die Lebensdauer des Signalgebers soll möglichst groß sein und insbesodnere nicht durch eine nachteiligen Betrieb weit über den Mindestanforderungen zusätzlich beeinträchtigt werden.
- Der Signalgeber weist eine Dimmvorrichtung auf, die zum Beispiel die Lichtstärke um die Hälfte reduziert. Dies wird von einigen Ländern oder Gemeinden für Ampel- und Signalanlagen gefordert.
- Der Signalgeber schaltet ab, sobald die Mindestanforderungen, beispielsweise bezüglich Helligkeit, Lichtstärkeverteilung oder Leuchtdichte, unterschritten werden.
- Der Signalgeber besitzt einen möglichst einfachen Aufbau, insbesondere ohne komplexe Schnittstellen. Vorzugsweise ist der Signalgeber mit herkömmlichen Steuerschaltungen kompatibel.
- Der Signalgeber hat einen niedrigen Energieverbrauch.
- Das LED-Modul hält die geforderte Mindesthelligkeit ein, wobei zweckmäßigerweise die Helligkeitsstufe des LED-Moduls entsprechend dieser Mindesthelligkeit gewählt ist.
- Das LED-Modul ist nur noch geringfügig, etwa 20%, heller, als vorgegeben und erscheint insbesondere nicht unangenehm hell. Damit lassen sich Normvorgabe sehr genau einhalten.
- Das LED-Modul wird gerade mit der Leistung betrieben, die zur Einhaltung der Normvorgaben erforderlich ist. Dies führt zu einem niedrigen Energieverbrauch und einer hohen Lebensdauer.
- Die Einhaltung der Normvorgaben ist mit hoher Sicherheit gewährleistet. Es sind keine Stufen-Fehlermeldungen wie etwa "20% ausgefallen", "40% ausgefallen" notwendig.
- detektiert das Netzteil 2, ob die vorgegebenen Anforderungen erfüllt werden, andernfalls erfolgt eine Abschaltung durch das Netzteil 2 beziehungsweise des Netzteils 2.
- Die Lichtquelle erscheint nicht nicht unangenehm hell, da Mindestanforderungen während der gesamten Betriebsdauer nur knapp überschritten werden.
- Das Netzteil 2 kann unabhängig von der eingesetzten Farbe und der eingesetzten LED-Helligkeitsklasse verwendet werden.
- Die Lebensdauer wird gegenüber herkömmlichen Vorrichtungen erhöht.
- Der Energieverbrauch wird gegenüber herkömmlichen Vorrichtungen verringert.
Vorzugsweise dient diese Referenz-LED-Kette 11 nur zur Rückmeldung der Helligkeitsstufe und nicht zur Beleuchtung. Vermittels einer Stromverteilungsschaltung 12 wird die Referenz-LED-Kette 11 mit dem gleichen Betriebsstrom wie die übrigen LED-Ketten des LED-Moduls betrieben.
