Abstract

This paper analyzes the effects of various operating voltages on the luminous efficacy of high flux RGB LEDs. At first, their equivalent diode model are established from measurements of the V-I characteristics. Operating voltages of three types are applied to a simple LED circuit: DC, square-wave, and full-wave-rectified sine wave. As the result, DC voltage driving gives the hightest efficiency, but invokes much greater variation in the luminous flux and more shift in the peak wavelength.
