Ambient temperature has a significant effect on the electrical and luminous parameters of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which include forward and reverse current, forward voltage, and luminous flux. This paper gives insight into the influence of ambient temperature on the electrical and luminous parameters of LEDs powered by a rectangular pulsed voltage source versus those powered by a constant voltage source. The characteristics of LEDs in LED lighting devices were studied to determine their optimal operating conditions. To this end, rectangular pulse voltages with different pulse filling factors D were considered against the DC voltage source. Characteristics were obtained for the current stabilization mode and for the LED voltage stabilization mode. In both modes, the temperature dependence of the luminous flux, current, voltage, power consumption, and luminous efficiency of the LEDs was studied in the 20 °C to 60 °C range. The optimal LED operating conditions were determined, of which their luminous flux and luminous efficiency are least dependent on ambient temperature. When powered by a rectangular pulse voltage, the LED device drivers’ optimal pulse filling factor and operating frequency were determined. |
