LED lighting systems face persistent challenges in achieving uniform illumination while maintaining optimal color quality and energy efficiency. Field measurements show that typical LED installations can exhibit up to 30% variation in light intensity across target surfaces, with color temperature deviations exceeding 500K from center to edge in many applications.

The fundamental challenge lies in balancing uniform light distribution with precise spectral control while managing thermal constraints and optical losses.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including advanced phosphor configurations for improved color rendering, shaped optical elements for controlled beam patterns, dynamic color temperature adjustment systems, and innovative LED array architectures. These and other approaches focus on delivering consistent, high-quality illumination for practical applications while maintaining energy efficiency.

6. LED Lighting System with Individualized Current Control for Uniform Illuminance Across Arrays

SHIN SUN YOUNG, 2023

Uniformly controlling the illuminance of LED lighting systems with multiple LED arrays containing LEDs with different forward voltages. The method involves individually controlling the current applied to each LED in an array based on its illuminance, then balancing the total array illuminance by adjusting the current limits. An illuminance detection unit finds the lowest illuminance LED in each array. It then sets the array current limits to make all LEDs have the same illuminance as the lowest one. This compensates for variations in forward voltage. By independently controlling the current for each LED and array, it balances illuminance across arrays with mixed LED types.
