Popis: In previous user-acceptance studies conducted at Aalto University, it was found that the preferred light-emitting diode spectral power distributions (SPDs) were not characterised by a high-CIE colour-rendering index but by a high-colour quality index (CQS) colour preference scale (Qp) and a high-CQS gamut area scale (Qg). In these studies, the SPDs were realised with a 12-channel LED spectra simulator. It is, however, foreseen that LED light sources consisting of 12 different types of LEDs will not be commercially exploitable due to complexity. The objective of this work was to investigate the possibility of generating simplified LED SPDs having CQS Qp and CQS Qg values similar to those of the preferred complex LED SPDs found in the previous user-acceptance studies. User-acceptance studies were carried out in lighting booths to investigate people’s preferences for the lit environment under both the complex and simplified LED spectra. The results suggest that the preferred complex LED SPDs can be optimized both for efficiency and cost without sacrificing the colour quality of the light.
