In this paper, comparison on wall-plug efficiency for the infrared (IR) emitter, warm-white LED and multi-chips LED has been studied. The main objective of this work is to provide a specific reference on wall-plug efficiency between various types of LED. Optical measurement is carried out at constant current of 1.0A under ambient temperature of 26.0 ± 1.0 o C. It is found that IR emitter offers the highest wall-plug efficiency (34.5%) compared to warm-white LED (18.4%) and multi-chips LED (29.3%). In addition, influence of forward current on optical power for all the LEDs has also been discussed. As a result, optical power increases with increasing of forward current.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
