Abstract
Spatial integrated measurement using an integrating sphere is usually used for the luminous flux determination of light sources. Devices using an integrating sphere are bulky for use on a production assembly line. This paper proposes an alternative spatial integration method for accurately measuring the total luminous flux of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) having no backward emission. A compound parabolic concentrator is introduced to collect the light from an LED in conjunction with a detector which in turn measures the luminous flux. The study reported here combines both modeling and experiment to show the applicability of this novel method. The uncertainty in the measurements is then evaluated for the total luminous flux measurement from an LED.
