Abstract
This research deals with the design problems of LED-based spectrally tunable light sources (LSTLSs). The study aims to assess the reliability of popular models for the spectral modeling of LED radiation and a typically used curve-fitting criterion (R2) in the development of high-quality multi-emitter LED retrofits for incandescent photometric illuminant. The research methodology involves modeling each LED channel using Lorentz and Gaussian functions and combining multiple channels to approximate the desired spectral power distribution (SPD). After the optimization, 20 various LED sets were designed, which allowed us to replicate the SPD of CIE illuminant A with a very high R2 value. Two sets were constructed and measured to recognize the reliability of the simulation approach. The results suggest that for planning the LSTLS for photometric applications, these models are unreliable as they do not reflect the real effect of changes in the characteristics of the components nor reveal the share of various spectral ranges. Therefore, the decisions made on these criteria may not be the best solutions in the context of specific applications.
