Received March 5, 2014, accepted Aprd 22, 2014 Abstract Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used tn various applications due to their small size, durability and energy efficiency However, the optical properties of LEDs are more complex than those ot In candescent lamps In order to measure the luminous flux of LEDs with low uncertainty, the equipment used for the measurements needs to be carefully charactenzed In this paper, measurement system constructed for luminous flux measunng of LEDs is an integrating sphere system The integrating sphere designed for measurement of LEDs has ports for LED photometer head, auxiliary lamp, spectroradiometer to be equipped with thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and Integrating sphere with a diameter d = m and inner sphere is coated with barium sulphate (BaSO^) The study results show that barium sulphate layer has high average value of reflectivity of about 92.6 % in the visible light region Uncertainty for luminous flux measurements related to this system is estimated at 1.78 % at a confidence level P=95%, k = 2, in about 10 to 4000 Im for COB LEDs The results obtained were compared with lllumia Pro System 500-100 - Labsphere - USA Keywords COB, Luminous flux, Integrating sphere, Reflectance, Uncertainty Introduction Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are solid-slate lighting sources which are increasingly being used in display backlightings, commumcahons, medical services, signages, and general illumination [1-6] LEDs have better mechanical impact resistance compared to fraditional lighting LEDs are also eco-friendly products with no mercury and low health impact due to low UV radiation, LED is one of high efficient illuminations which can replace the incandescent lamp and compete with the fluorescent mbe in the recent years LEDs that have a single colour are over ten times more efficient than incandescent lamps White LEDs are more than twice as efficient as incandescent lamps [3j The luminous flux of LEDs can be measured using Sphere-spectroradiometer system Sphere photometer system and Goniophotometer system [2,3], The total luminous flux is then obtained by integrating the luminance values over the area of the virtual surface defined by the measurement geometry In this paper, we developed a new integrating sphere photometer specfra-radiometer system for luminous flux measurement of COB LEDs " Con-esponding

Board Light NSBxL066A-10 W was Emitting Diodes) Nichia-Japan in manufactured by experiments Firstly, the total luminous flux standard lamp (SCL-1400-E120, U = 1% at k = 2, Japan) is mounted in an integrating sphere, with the lit geomefric as showed in Fig Journal ofScience & Technology 101 (2014) 188-191 Fig Standard lanqj is mounted in an mtegyating sphere Fig COB LEDs is mounted on thermoelectric cooler The COB LEDs mounted on a thermoelectnc cooler (TEC) in an integrating sphere, with the 2n geometric, as showed in Fig layer of specfral reflectance has large variations in the spectral range of 380 nm to 570 nm The variation reflectance values between one layer and two layers is about 2.0%, and that between two layers and three layers is about 2.8%, three layers and four layers is about 2.2%, However, between four layers and five layers is only aboul 0,23 Therefore, the coating of five layers is an appropriate requirement, The photometer head (P30SCT, LMT) is used in this system, with V(>.) approximation f) < 1,0% , cos-conection f2 < 1,5 % , sensitivity about 15 to 26 tiA/lx and calibrated precisely Standard Illuminate A, The Spectroradiometer (CS-2000A, Konica Minolta) IS used for spectrum mismatch measurement, -with half of bandwidth: 5iim The reflectance spectra of coating layers are measured by UVA'is/NIR Spectrometer (Serial number: I050LI306131) Results and Discussion Setup integrating spectroradiometer system sphere TTie total luminous Jlux of COB LEDs The luminous flux of the standard lamp is measured and showed in table The luminous flux of COB LEDs can be calculated by the luminous flux of the standard lamp according to the following equation [4, 5], photometer As a matter of fact, coating layers quality in integrating sphere is very important We investigated the effects of number of coating layers to reflectance The reflectance specfra of coating layers are shown in fig 3, We can see that, the reflectance increases for increasing number of coating layers An average reflectance value of 92.6% is obtained, this is an appropnate requirement The reflectance is of about p(k) =5 0.8 as recommended by CIE [8], "•cc/ Where- 4^ '^scf •
