25、rical Manufacturers Association Introduction The purposes of this standard are, first, to specify the range of chromaticities recommended for general lighting with solid-state lighting products to ensure high-quality white light and, second, to categorize chromaticities with given tolerances so that

26、 the white light chromaticity of the products can be communicated to consumers. For this second purpose, the existing chromaticity standard (ANSI C78.376) for fluorescent lamps (FLRs) uses six nominal CCTs, some of which are given names such as Warm White (3000 K), Cool White (4100 K), and Daylight

27、(6500 K). These names are often printed on product packages to communicate nominal CCT of the products to consumers. 2700 K and 5000 K, however, do not have names. Each of the six FLR lamp nominal CCTs has tolerances given as ellipses in the CIE 1931 (x, y) chromaticity diagram. Four-step MacAdam el

28、lipses are used in ANSI C78.376, and seven-step MacAdam ellipses and seven-step quadrangles are used in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) ENERGY STAR specifications for Lamps, V2.0, and Luminaires, V2.0. This chromaticity specification for LED products was developed to establish an ali

29、gnment with the existing fluorescent lamp standards, enabling the consistent appearance of various light sources within spaces where multiple technologies are employed. The use of quadrangles to specify the chromaticities comprising the nominal CCTs increases the overall yield complying with this st

30、andard while acknowledging that chromaticities previously excluded (i.e. within the quadrangles but outside of the corresponding MacAdam ellipses) are nonetheless very useful in many applications. This standard provides a basis for specifying chromaticity, explanation of a nominal CCT, target CCT, D

31、uv, and details of SSL chromaticity requirements. In the 2014 revision, the specifications for nominal CCTs of 2200 K and 2500 K were added. The annexes in this document provide the background information of this standard and tables and graphical representations of the specifications in this standar

32、d. In this revision, extended specifications are added as options for products designed with chromaticity points that may be suitable for some lighting applications. This standard does not render a judgment on the preference, perception of white or natural light. This ANSI standard simply extends th

33、e designation of chromaticity regions to include areas that are suitable for some lighting applications. The Extended Specification given in Table 2 is developed as a straightforward mathematical construct to expand the ANSI chromaticity specification. This standard specifies only standardized chrom

34、aticity regions and does not relate to color quality metrics such as fidelity, chroma saturation or color discrimination. 1 Scope The purpose of this standard is to specify the range of chromaticity for general lighting with solid-state lighting (SSL) products, as well as to ensure that the chromati

35、city of the products can be communicated to consumers. This standard applies to LED lamps, LED light engines and LED luminaires for general indoor lighting applications, and may apply more broadly. This document does not apply to lighting fixtures sold without a light source. This standard also does

36、 not apply to SSL products for some indoor applications that intentionally produce colored light. This document does not include OLED products. 1.1 Patent Disclaimer At the time of publication, it is possible that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

40、surements of Solid-State Lighting Products 3 Definitions Terms used in this document such as LED lamp and LED luminaire are defined in ANSI/IES RP-16-10. 4 Chromaticity 4.1 Basis The chromaticity coordinates and correlated color temperature (CCT) values used in this standard are based on the CIE col

41、orimetry system. While the chromaticity of light is expressed by chromaticity coordinates such as (x, y) and (u, v) the chromaticity of nominally white light can also be expressed by CCT and the distance from the Planckian locus. CCT is a more intuitive measure of the shade of white light than (x, y

42、) or (u, v). Since CCT is defined based on the (u, 2/3v) chromaticity diagram, the distance from the Planckian locus should be determined on the same diagram. It should be expressed as a signed value to indicate whether the chromaticity is above or below the Planckian locus. As such a distance param

43、eter with respect to the Planckian locus is not officially defined by the CIE, “Duv” (symbol: D uv ) is defined in this document as the closest distance from the Planckian locus on the (u, 2/3v) diagram, with “+” sign for above and “” sign for below the Planckian locus. 4.2 Nominal CCT and Target CC

44、T Nominal CCT is used to specify and communicate chromaticity information of a product, and, in this document, is a CCT value at 100 K steps that is closest to the target CCT of the product. A target CCT is the CCT value that the product is designed to produce. Individual samples of the product may

45、deviate from the target CCT due to production variation, which is normally controlled to be within a production tolerance. The same applies to target Duv. The target CCT and target Duv are also the center points of the tolerance range of these parameters in this document. 4.3 Specifications SSL prod

46、ucts included in this standard shall have chromaticity values that fall into one of the nominal CCT categories listed in Table 1 or Table 2. SSL products with a given nominal CCT shall have the defined target CCT and Duv, and the values of individual samples shall be within the tolerances of CCT and
