Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lighting device with a light unit, which comprises a plurality of light sources of different color spectra, with a sensor for determining the spectral power distribution (SPD) emitted by the light unit, a control unit which acts on a drive unit as a function of a predetermined and the spectral power distribution measured by the sensor , which individually controls the light sources of the lighting unit, so that the emitted light has the predetermined spectral power distribution.
  • Color spectrum in this context refers to the electro-magnetic waves of a range of defined bandwidth and intensity in the visually perceptible by man color space.
  • the invention further relates to a method for operating a lighting device with a light unit, which comprises at least four light sources of different color spectra, with a sensor for determining the emitted from the light unit spectral power distribution (SPD), a control unit, which depends on a given and the sensor measured spectral power distribution, a drive unit acted upon, which controls the light sources of the lighting unit individually, so that the emitted light has the predetermined spectral power distribution.
  • a light unit which comprises at least four light sources of different color spectra
  • SPD light unit spectral power distribution
  • control unit which depends on a given and the sensor measured spectral power distribution
  • a drive unit acted upon which controls the light sources of the lighting unit individually, so that the emitted light has the predetermined spectral power distribution.
  • LEDs With semiconductor-based lighting elements such as LEDs, the color spectrum and the brightness (intensity) change with increasing operating time, which can be distracting without compensation.
  • LEDs have a scattering of their technical properties in terms of brightness and color during manufacture. This is compensated by the manufacturer by so-called “binning", in which semiconductor elements are sorted according to a given scattering. The narrower the scattering selection, the more expensive the LEDs are.
  • a device is known from EP 1 461 982 B1 in which a desired light color of three LED light sources with red, green and blue color spectra is generated.
  • CIE Commission Internationale de l'éclairage
  • This measured value vector is used in a control unit operating as a P-controller compared with an XYZ setpoint, which acts as a function of the error, a drive unit which controls the light sources supplied to the electrical power accordingly.
  • the sensor must be tuned to the frequency spectrums of the LEDs, so that the control loop works sufficiently.
  • a lighting device with more than 3 light sources of different color spectrums - for example, a yellow or white LED as the fourth LED - no longer regulate because the result of this scheme is no longer unambiguous, since several luminous intensity settings of the four light sources the same color in XYZ color space can generate.
  • a detection of the color shift of a single light source can be determined only indirectly via the information of the temperature and the v (lambda) measurement.
  • Non-temperature-dependent color changes of the light source can hereby not be distinguished from a change in brightness.
  • Another disadvantage is that the described adjustments of the color and brightness values of the luminaire only work in an operating state in which the individual light sources are individually adjusted. This is equivalent to interrupting the operation.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a generic lighting device, which is characterized in that more than 3 lighting elements of different color spectrums and brightness values can be integrated and thereby largely any desired color spectrum can be used. It should be a structural simple three-channel sensor be used. It is also an object to provide a method for controlling a generic lighting device with more than three light sources of different color spectrums. The sensor should measure all the light sources simultaneously and determine a valid for the totality of the light sources used color and brightness measurement.
  • the first object is achieved in that the lighting unit comprises at least four light sources and the control unit is set up to use an optimization algorithm which maximizes as a main condition a calculated weighting criterion such as in particular color rendering index (CRI), which can be calculated from the individual control data of the light sources and as a termination criterion that the error between the predetermined and the measured spectral power distribution is smaller than a limit value.
  • a calculated weighting criterion such as in particular color rendering index (CRI)
  • a special circumstance here is that the resulting control values of the individual light source are unknown. Only the color and brightness impression of the totality of the light sources is considered. This can be done without interruption in the operation of the lamp. It also ensures that all intrinsic and extrinsic influences on the color and brightness change can be compensated. In particular, as a result of the use of at least four light sources an over-determination with respect to the color impression is generated, which can be used as a compensation source. Furthermore, an intended control reserve serves as a source for further compensation of color and brightness changes. Third, color reduction can be achieved by reducing the overall brightness of the luminaire by performing the optimization instead of in a brightness-rich XYZ color space in a luminance-less color space such as CIE xy.
  • any lighting element is detected, in particular any type of light-emitting diode including organic light emitting diodes (OLED). It is also possible to use light sources of different types together, in particular LEDs and light bulbs. While the main field of application of the invention is the range of visible light, it is expressly contemplated that the invention may be applied to the infrared or ultraviolet range. Thus, individual or all light sources may have frequency spectrums which are partly or wholly outside the range of visible light. Thus, in the infrared or in the UV range with a sensor channel number smaller than the number of manipulated variables using the optimization approach can be set to a defined target size.
  • the idea of the invention is not to make the adjustment of the light sources used via a conventional control loop but to apply an optimization method which has two or more optimization criteria.
  • a coefficient of the weighted sensor values in particular a color rendering index CRI (Color Rendering Index)
  • CRI Color Rendering Index
  • the deviation measured in the color spectrum in the defined color space of the sensor is to be minimized by the sensor. Since the present luminaire example should have a high CRI as a requirement, the CRI was also used as an optimization criterion here.
  • other criteria for optimization can also be implemented. Further possible optimization criteria can be selected taking into account the properties of individual light sources. For example, the protection of particularly vulnerable light sources by minimizing the requested performance.
  • the drive data is typically transmitted in accordance with the DMX protocol or a similar protocol.
  • the DMX protocol allows adjustment of the drive current for each light source with an accuracy of 8 bits (ie 256 different values).
  • other protocols such as those of higher accuracy, may be used instead of the DMX protocol.
  • a control reserve of, for example, an additional bit is provided in order to take due account of the decreasing brightness in the course of aging processes.
  • the CRI value R a is calculated in the usual way as with measured spectral values. This calculation is preferably carried out in the CIE system.
  • This calculated CRI value R a uses the optimization system according to the invention as the main criterion. Since many algorithms can only minimize, but the negated minimum is the maximum, the main condition or objective function can also be defined as follows: min ( - R a x
  • the invention specifies that a difference vector from the measured color vector (preferably in the XYZ system) and a predetermined (target) vector is minimized.
  • a predetermined (target) vector is minimized.
  • it is predetermined as a termination condition that the magnitude of the difference vector falls below a limit value ⁇ .
  • the constraint can therefore be defined as follows: XYZ ⁇ actual - XYZ ⁇ t bad et , ⁇ ⁇
  • the production and aging-related color and brightness changes of the lighting device according to the invention can be compensated in order to ensure a uniform illumination quality over their entire operating time.
  • the system according to the invention makes it possible to optimize the lighting for any number of light sources (LEDs).
  • the constant adjustment of color and brightness allows the selection of cost-effective light sources (ie a cost-effective "Binnings") while increasing the quality of illumination.
  • the optimization method may include further constraints, in particular high color saturation.
  • the lighting unit 4 light sources with different spectral emission, particularly preferably with a selection of the colors red, green, yellow, blue, white.
  • the selection of the light sources will be made depending on the application of the lighting device. Alternatively, five or more light sources in all mentioned colors or spectral values can be used.
  • control algorithm is standardized in CIE X, Y, Z color space feasible.
  • This has the advantage that with a simple three-channel sensor, which is provided with suitable standardized filters, the entire color space perceivable by humans can be detected.
  • other color spaces eg RGB, LUV, HSL, LMS, RG may be used, taking into account the respective restriction of the gamut.
  • the senor is a three-channel sensor which preferably provides data in RGB or XYZ format.
  • This sensor determines the luminous flux and the color location of all the light sources used in the luminaire.
  • the object underlying the invention is further achieved by a method for operating a lighting device with a light unit comprising at least four light sources of different color spectra, with a sensor for determining the emitted from the light unit spectral power distribution (SPD), a control unit, in dependence a predetermined and measured by the sensor spectral power distribution a drive unit is applied, which controls the light sources of the light unit individually, so that the emitted light has the predetermined spectral power distribution, the method is designed as an optimization algorithm that maximizes a calculated color rendering index (CRI) as the main condition, is calculated from the individual drive data of the light sources, and as a side condition the optimization is aborted if the error between the predetermined and the measured spectral power values ilung falls below a threshold.
  • CRI color rendering index
  • the so-called simplex method is used as the optimization method.
  • This is a proven optimization method for solving linear optimization problems.
  • other optimization methods can also be used.
  • CRI color rendering index
  • a function between the respective maximum of a spectrum and the radiation intensity is used, from which a multiplication factor is determined, with which the radiation spectrum of a light source at the current drive value of the light source is determined, from the radiation spectra of all light sources a total virtual radiation spectrum is added, and from this, the calculated color rendering index (CRI) of the total virtual radiation spectrum is determined.

These light sources radiate essentially in the same, unspecified direction here.
  • a sensor 16 is arranged, which is preferably designed as an RGB or XYZ sensor and transmits corresponding data from the received radiation spectrum to an optimization unit 18.
  • the optimization unit 18 also receives as input signal a desired radiation value 20 as a spectral power distribution (SPD), here as a vector in the XYZ color space. Further, the optimization unit 18 obtains a calculated CRI value which should correspond to the current actual CRI value of the lighting unit 12 and is provided by a CRI value calculation unit 22.
