The Life and Times of the LED . . .
and why it ain’t that Simple
![Page 2: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
In the beginning was the FLAME …
![Page 3: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
which came at quite a price …
![Page 4: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
It began simply enough
![Page 5: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
gained a solid
reputation
![Page 6: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
threatened a species
![Page 7: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
became draught-proofed
![Page 8: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
achieved a brighter future
![Page 9: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
got turned upside-down in
the process
![Page 10: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
But it was still just
a flame in a bulb
![Page 11: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

And then there was the lightning …
![Page 13: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The long light had arrived
![Page 14: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
With all kinds of results
![Page 15: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

and story-telling
![Page 17: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Until energy started costing
more than was
comfortable

Until … this came along
![Page 20: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In 1907, Henry Joseph Round discovered the principle of the semi-
conductor – but no one knew what to do with it.
![Page 21: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In 1927, Oleg V. Losev, in the USSR published a
paper on light emission using Silicon Carbide
(carborundum).
No one outside of the USSR read it for thirty
years.
![Page 23: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
LED technology kicked-off in 1961 when Bob
Baird and Gary Pittman, working for Texas
Instruments developed the infra-red LED – by
‘accident’.
![Page 24: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Their LED was built using s substrate of Gallium
Arsenide GaAs – a compound still is
commercial use in LED technology.
It is classed as a carcinogen in California
![Page 26: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Gallium Nitride. (GaN)
. . . while the dust from GaN is an irritant to
skin, eyes and lungs, it is non-toxic and bio-
compatible in its bulk form.
![Page 27: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
. . . and the preferred source of Gallium is
Trimethylgallium, which has the tendency is catch fire on contact with air.
Its also a by-product of bauxite mining.
![Page 28: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
This is bauxite mining . . .
. . . in Guyana
![Page 29: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
though this is the Guyana
that we get told about
![Page 30: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
and bauxite makes aluminium . . .
. . . oh, oh
![Page 31: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Anyway: eventually we got this …
![Page 32: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Which became these … amongst many others
![Page 33: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
And which has introduced us to a whole new world of l ighting opportunit ies …
![Page 34: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

LED technology introduced us to a whole new way of looking at our old famil iar fr iends …
![Page 37: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
But the LED has also changed the shape of l ighting
![Page 38: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
This is a conventional (energy-saving) CFL downlight
![Page 39: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
And this is a comparable LED downlight
![Page 40: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Lightweight structure with minimal metalwork
![Page 41: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Almost 50% of the weight of the downlight is in the aluminium heatsink mounted on the back
![Page 42: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
whereas the working part is very small indeed
![Page 43: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
whereas the working part is very small indeed
![Page 44: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
But what happens when we want to get rid of i t?
![Page 45: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
But how do we get r id of it?
Electronic waste is the fastest-growing part of the world’s garbage stream. Improperly disposed of, the lead, mercury and other toxic materials inside e-waste can leak from landfills.
75% of the aluminium produced since the 19th century is still in use. The demand for aluminium is set to increase from 40M tonnes to 70M tonnes by 2020, over two-thirds of that demand will have to come from primary sources,
![Page 46: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
But how do we get r id of it?
For every ton of aluminum produced, the process generates approximately 24 kg of waste. In most cases it’s only partially reused and the rest of cases it’s discharged, contributing to the problem of saturation in landfills
A lot of exported e-waste ends up in Guiyu, China, where peasants heat circuit boards over coal fires to recover lead, while others use acid to burn off bits of gold. Guiyu has the highest level of cancer-causing dioxins in the world and elevated rates of miscarriages.
![Page 47: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
SO … what do we want from the LED?
![Page 48: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Much of what the l ighting designer wants is
consistency across all of the available sources
….
But can the LED deliver on
Energy eff iciency ?
Colour quality ?
Light performance ?
![Page 49: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Much of what the l ighting designer wants is
consistency across all of the available sources
….
And what about ….
Cost effectiveness ?
Long l ife expectancy ?
![Page 50: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

The benchmark for energy eff iciency is provided by Building Regulations: Part L.
Energy eff iciency
![Page 52: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Energy eff iciency

LED light quality is varied – much of it poor.
The commercial market for LEDs is enormous and the most profitable f ixtures are the ones that can
be bought cheap and sold dear.
Poor colour is a major factor in that cheapness.
Colour quality
![Page 54: Life and times of the LED 13.09.01](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c96681a28ab5a298b4715/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

How good a l ight beam does the LED produce?
This performance factor is often ignored.

Cost effectiveness is more than energy eff icacy.
The cost of an LED f ixture supports the overall performance of its Longevity and its Colour Quality.

LED technology comes at a price.
There is a commercial balance that has to be achieved re. cost v. l i fe to justify energy savings.
