Impact of spectral features of common LED lighting systems on TM-30 color indices
Abstract:
We examine the difference between the newly developed IES TM-30 color indices and some of the most common previously established color indices for LED systems which are used for lighting purposes, focusing on the influence of realistic spectral variations among different system designs and manufacturing runs. We find a significantly stronger influence of the employed blue InGaN wavelength on TM-30 Rf and Rg than on CRI Ra and FCI. In addition, for the established combination of green converted InGaN chips with red InGaAlP chips, we observe large differences in the effect of the wavelength of the red emission of InGaAlP chips on Rf and Ra.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
