Abstract

This publication answers some commonly asked questions about lighting systems using light emitting diodes (LEDs). Lighting Answers: LED Lighting Systems helps practitioners understand the differences between LEDs and other conventional light sources, as well as some of their relevant performance characteristics. Key issues that are important in understanding the effective use of LEDs in lighting applications, including electrical performance, thermal performance, and optical performance are described. This publication should be useful to any practitioner who wants to use LED systems effectively in lighting applications.
