Multicolor LED Control Systems
Modern LED lighting systems must achieve precise spectral output while managing thermal loads and optical efficiency. Current multi-color LED arrays typically operate at 20-30% electrical-to-optical conversion efficiency, with phosphor-converted white LEDs showing significant Stokes losses and spectral gaps that limit color rendering capabilities to CRI values around 80.
The fundamental challenge lies in balancing spectral coverage and quantum efficiency while maintaining consistent output across temperature variations and operating conditions.
