Objectives
Learn how to develop safe LED-based products compliant with International Standards.

High Brightness LEDs have the potential to cause serious injury to the eye and a thorough understnading of where the responsibility lies for safe LED product development is paramount.

Who should attend
The course is a must for research technicians working with LEDs in laboratories in industry and universities, LED manufacturers and lighting personnel in a wide range of application fields:

LED Signals
Medical 
Street Lighting
Automotive
Architectural 
Machine Vision 
Stage & Theatre
Airfield & Aircraft 
Projection/displays

 

Optical Radiation Hazards
Optical radiation hazard spectrum, physiology of the eye, Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits, photothermal and photochemical hazards

LED Beam Properties
