Abstract

The invention relates to an LED module ( 1 ) for a luminaire ( 2 ) comprising at least one LED carrier ( 3 ) and a plurality of LEDs ( 4 ) (light-emitting diodes) arranged on this LED carrier. In particular, the number and the color of the LEDs ( 4 ) are selected to emit a total light emission spectrum ( 6 ) being composed of individual light emission spectra ( 5 ) of each LED. The invention further relates to a luminaire ( 2 ) comprising a luminaire housing ( 10 ), at least one LED module ( 1 ) arranged as light source ( 13 ) in the luminaire housing ( 10 ), a light emergence opening ( 11 ) formed in the luminaire housing ( 10 ), and a glare-limiting device ( 12 ) assigned in particular to the light emergence opening ( 11 ), as well as to a method for influencing a light spectrum of a light source ( 13 ).

Claims (12)

1 . A light emitting diode (“LED” module ( 1 ) for a luminaire ( 2 ) comprising at least one LED carrier ( 3 ) and a plurality of LEDs ( 4 ) arranged on this LED carrier, wherein the number and color of the LEDs ( 4 ) are selected to emit a total light emission spectrum ( 6 ) being composed of individual light emission spectra ( 5 ) of each LED, each LED ( 4 ) is configured to emit substantially monochromatic radiation and LEDs having the same monochromatic light radiation are each arranged on a sub-module ( 7 ) of the LED module ( 1 ), wherein all LEDs can be triggered together and white LEDs are assigned to the monochromatic LEDs in order to increase a color rendering index.

2 . The LED module according to claim 1 , characterized in that LEDs having different mono-chromatic light radiation are each arranged on a sub-module ( 7 ) of the LED module ( 1 ).

3 . The LED module according to claim 1 , characterized in that LEDs can be arranged on the LED carrier ( 3 ) along at least one row ( 8 ) and/or a column ( 9 ).

4 . The LED module according to claim 1 , characterized in that the LED modules and/or sub-modules can be arranged in the luminaire to be exchangeable.

5 . The LED module according to claim 1 , characterized in that the sub-modules ( 7 ) can be triggered individually.

6 . The LED module according to claim 1 , wherein the luminaire ( 2 ) comprises a luminaire housing ( 10 ), at least one of the LED module ( 1 ) is arranged as a light source ( 13 ) in the luminaire housing ( 10 ), the luminaire housing comprising a light emergence opening ( 11 ) formed in the luminaire housing ( 10 ), and a glare-limiting device ( 12 ) assigned in particular to the light emergence opening ( 11 ).

7 . The LED module according to claim 6 , wherein a total light emission spectrum of the luminaire is substantially free from spectral ranges in which at least one specific species, in particular animal species, has a greater sensitivity as compared to other species.

8 . The LED module according to claim 6 or 7 , wherein the luminaire ( 2 ) can be applied as a path luminaire or road luminaire.

9 . A method for influencing a light spectrum of a light source ( 13 ), which light source is formed of a plurality of individual LEDs arranged on an LED module ( 1 ) particularly in rows ( 8 ) and/or columns ( 9 ), wherein individual emission spectra of the individual LEDs are super-imposed to one total light emission spectrum as the light spectrum of the light source de-pending on the number and the color of the individual LEDs.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , characterized by simultaneously and identically triggering all individual LEDs.

11 . The method according to claim 9 or 10 , characterized by individually triggering the individual LEDs on a sub-module ( 7 ) for selecting the number of individual LEDs of a specific color.

12 . The method according to claim 9 , characterized by triggering a number of white LEDs in addition to the triggered colored LEDs.
