Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have received much attention over the last few decades as a potential replacement for traditional white light sources, such as incandescent and fluorescent lamps. Their durability, long lifetimes (generally 10,000 hours or more), and energy efficiency make LEDs an attractive option to replace their less efficient counterparts. Unlike traditional white light sources, LEDs do not inherently emit white light and require the use of various multicolored LEDs and/or broad-emitting phosphors in order to achieve a spectrum that is perceived as white. This webinar will provide a brief overview of how color is studied and measured, as well as present the current challenges and research being done to make LEDs the next generation white light source.

The OL 770 LED Test and Measurement System is the ideal solution for measuring LED spectral and goniometric properties.
