Abstract
The influences on thermal and optical performances of light emitting diode (LED) bulbs with three different filament arrangements are investigated in detail. The average junction temperature, temperature of the surface of the bulb, and luminous flux of three samples all increased with increasing power. The thermal performance test results show that between the average junction, temperature and power were linear. The junction temperatures of the three samples at a power of 3.5 W were 102.48, 98.46, and 88.88 °C. The optical performance test results revealed that the luminous flux and efficiency in the two vertical filament arrangements were closely related to each other and higher than that of the horizontal filament arrangement. A numerical model of LED filament bulbs was established by the Floefd 17.2 software for analyzing the temperature distribution of the cross section and the gas flow path inside the bulb. The simulation results illustrated that the average temperatures of three samples were 105.88, 101.83, and 96.12 °C. Additionally, the gas flow inside the bulb of the two vertical filament arrangements was subject to forming a thermal cycle during operation work more than that of the horizontal filament arrangement. As a result, the flexible spiral LED filament bulb is feasible as a new light source.
Highlights
As a new light source, light emitting diodes (LEDs) are regarded as the fourth generation of solid-state lighting sources owing to their advantages of environmental friendliness, energy saving, long lifetime, quick start up, and so on [1,2,3,4]
The thermal radiation of Filament the LED Bulbs filament can be ignored owing to its small contact area
In order to illustrate that the thermal and optical performances of three different filament arrangements of flexible spiral LED bulbs, the average junction temperature, temperature of the surface bulb, and thermal resistance were measured for analyzing the effects on heat dissipation
Summary
As a new light source, light emitting diodes (LEDs) are regarded as the fourth generation of solid-state lighting sources owing to their advantages of environmental friendliness, energy saving, long lifetime, quick start up, and so on [1,2,3,4]. Environment protection and energy saving have generated considerable research interest, the white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) have been developed rapidly in the commercial market and widely used in various lighting fields [5,6,7]. The heat generated by the chip is difficult to dissipate from inside of the bulb to the environment [13,14,15,16]
