Area of Science:

• Materials Science
• Optoelectronics
• Illumination Engineering

Background:

• Energy saving and visual comfort are key in automatic illumination systems.
• Energy-efficient control in white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) can cause optical spectra drift.
• Current WLEDs used indoors face challenges with energy efficiency and spectral stability.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a method for Indium Phosphide (InP) quantum dot (QD)-based WLEDs to minimize energy consumption.
• To enhance user visual comfort by optimizing correlated color temperature (CCT) and color rendering index (Ra).
• To ensure the lowest possible energy consumption for the WLED matrix while maintaining lighting quality.

Main Methods:

• Calculations considered room window/WLED matrix dimensions, WLED unit distance, lighting height, InP QD species, and user distribution.
• Dynamic control of light ingredients and optical power of WLEDs.
• Optimization of WLED matrix parameters (CCT, Ra) based on the lighting environment.

Main Results:

• Minimized optical energy consumption in InP QD-based WLEDs.
• Optimized illuminance distribution on tabletops and improved lighting homogeneity for all users.
• Achieved lowest energy consumption for the WLED matrix.

Conclusions:

• The proposed method effectively balances energy saving and visual comfort in intelligent WLED systems.
• The approach is adaptable for large-scale intelligent WLED control in industrial and office settings.
• Dynamic adjustment of WLED properties ensures optimal lighting performance and energy efficiency.
