This study was conducted to evaluate the disinfection effects of Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli treated with 461-nm LED and pH 5 at $15^{\circ}C$ for 10 h. S. aureus strains were decreased by about 4 log CFU/mL after 461-nm LED irradiation treatment alone for 10 h. E. coli strains were inactivated by irradiation. However, when microorganisms were subjected to a combined treatment of 461-nm LED and pH 5, both strains were inactivated by irradiation for 7 h. The highest D-value was 5.05 h for S. aureus ATCC 27664 and the lowest D-value was 1.39 h for E.coli O157: H7 ATCC 35150 (p<0.05) with 461-nm LED irradiation. For the combined treatment (461-nm LED and pH 5), the highest D-value was 1.58 h for S. aureus ATCC 19095, whereas the lowest D-value was 0.83 h for S. aureus ATCC 27664 (p<0.05). These data showed that bactericidal effects of a combination of pH 5 with 461-nm LED irradiation were enhanced compared to 461-nm LED irradiation alone.

Visible light communications (VLC) uses modern solid-state LEDs to broadcast information. Emerging white-light LEDs allows the combination of lighting and optical wireless communication in one optical source. In this paper, a new LED lighting using one-chip-type white LED is proposed for efficient illumination and optical wireless communications. Performance analysis such as horizontal illuminance, 3-dB cut-off frequency, inter-symbol interference, signal-to-noise ratio and bit-error rate shows the effects of the shapes of LED lighting. Performance of the proposed LED lighting under the existence of obstacles is superior to that of the existing LED lighting in illumination and optical wireless communication.

This study is aimed to analyze the three-dimensional underwater irradiance using an optical simulation software and to clarify the propriety and operation method under considering luminous intensity distribution of the luring lamp and penetrability in the seawater, when we use the light diffuser type 300W high powered LED and the metal halide lamp (MHL) on a coastal squid jigging vessel in the 10-ton class, simultaneously. For their attenuation characteristics of each wavelength in relation to the sea, LED lamp was to be effective in the 1.9-fold at 50 m depth and 2.1-fold at 80 m for underwater irradiance more than MHL according to the power consumption. In addition, the underwater irradiance distribution using the LED and MHL combination was rather increased even when reducing total power usage up to 20% depending on the simulation with changing the configuration and lighting angle of the lamp. These results can be utilized as an evaluation method of the operation and performance of the LED lamp according to adjusting its arrangement and lighting angle.

A new LED lamp driving technology with a charge pump instead of a conventional DC-DC converter is proposed. The proposed driving technology is used to control the LED lamp with digital dimming. The power loss in the zener diodes is reduced because the charging process of the capacitors is selectively controlled according to the digital control signal. From the experimental results, when dimming four LED lamps simultaneously, the average driving circuit efficiency of 89% is obtained, regardless of the dimming level. White light with color temperature over a range of 2800~7200K was produced by dimming control of red, green, blue and amber LED lamps with the proposed driving circuit. The characteristics of the driving circuits can be changed depending on the characteristics of the R, G, B, and A LED lamps. The efficiency of the driving circuits up to a maximum 89% can also be obtained depending on the combination of LED lamps. The driving technology with digital dimming control for LED lamps proposed in this paper would be effective for obtaining high efficiency in LED driving circuits and remote control of LED lamps using digital communications.

Important determinants for selecting outdoor lighting are the color-rendering index (CRI) and scotopic-to-photopic (S/P) ratio of the lighting units. The higher the S/P ratio, the better energy savings and visual performance. In this study, CCT-tunable LED lighting units were optimized and fabricated by spectral combination of red, green, blue, and yellow LEDs. The measured results for RGB LEDs provided S/P ratios of 1.55~2.58 and those of RGBY LEDs gave 1.46~2.46 to the correlated color temperatures (CCTs) ranging from 2700 K to 6500 K, with CRI values of over 80 at the same time.

Currently, LED headlamps are only attached to newly manufactured vehicles, and it remains difficult to mount LED headlamps on used cars. Therefore LED headlamps need to be developed for used cars as a replacement of their halogen lamps. Due to a number of spatial limitations, it is critical to ensure a certain level of thermal performance. In order to obtain a design for efficient heat radiation, this paper aimed to optimize thermal management through a combination of heat sinks, heat pipes and fans. Based on such a design, this paper succeeded in developing LED headlamps of the desired performance to replace the halogen bulbs of used cars.

In this study, an LED emotional lighting algorithm optimized to the situation was implemented using fuzzy inference for users in exercise and resting situations in indoor environment. The fuzzy theory was used instead of the conventional simple color temperature control in order to control the colors and color temperatures of LED light sources in line with user environment under complex conditions. An LED emotional lighting system based on fuzzy theory was designed through a combination of colors according to the color and temperature of emotional language based on the user behavior. As a result, the color and color temperature can give a good effect on user's emotions for an emotional lighting that is effective for resting and exercise.

The last century of lighting has been dominated by incandescent, fluorescent and high-intensity discharge(HID)light sources. In the late 1970's, after green LEDs were invented, Dr. Ching Tang at Eastman Kodak discovered that sending an electrical impulse through carbon compound caused such material glow. Present day LED commercial packages have reached 100 lm/W, comparable to the efficacies of fluorescent and certain HID lamps. LED products available today are market as "Green-Industry" but actually low light output compared to typical light sources. The combination of high price and low light output make them a poor replacement for current technology. It is very important to compare new LED products to the most efficient conventional technology that could be used for any specific application. As LED technology advances, costs decrease, and efficiency improves, LEDs will build market share in the general illumination market.

This experiment was conducted to find the day and night temperature combination and the light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the most effective globe coloration and growth of Chamecereus silvestrii f. variegata 'Hee-Mang'. The $L^*$value, $a^*$value and $b^*$value were all significant difference in the yellow globe color expression in the day and night temperature combination. Especially, the bright yellow color and visual value were the highest in the temperature combination, the day temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ and night temperature of $20^{\circ}C$. Globe color quality was lowered from the day temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ and night temperatures of $5^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ combination. In light-emitting diodes (LEDs) treatments, $a^*$value and $b^*$value are significant difference. A unique beautiful yellow coloration and globe quality were maintained the $a^*$value of +5.23, $b^*$value of +39.9 in a red LED. The optimum temperature range and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the globe color expression were the most effective the day temperature of 200e and night temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ and a red LED. In addition, the outer globe color quality of Chamecereus silvestrii f. variegata cultivation, rather than the light environment improvement is better in a proper temperature environment to keep. Especially, a unique globe color expression of yellow lines was most effective in a red LED.
