The European Delphi4LED consortium intensively works on measurement, modeling and
simulation techniques to cope with the lack of standardized methodologies to describe
the strongly temperature and current dependent characteristics of LEDs. The paper
presents some of the efforts and results in
making the lighting design of luminaires an automated, model based process; similarly
to the design practice in electronics. To achieve this target, validated and standardized
multiphysics LED models are needed.
In this paper results in comparing standard LED measurement methods and the realized
upgraded testing and modeling procedures are shown, as the authors see it after one
and half year of intensive collaboration in the subject.
