Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2701464A2] The device (10) has a lighting unit (12) comprising semiconductor-based light sources (14) i.e. LEDs, with different color spectra, and a sensor (16) for determination of spectral power distribution. An optimization unit (18) uses an optimization algorithm and maximizes coefficient of weighted sensor values as an optimization goal. The optimization unit computes the coefficient of weighted sensor values from individual control data of the light sources. An error between preset and measured spectral power distribution is smaller than a threshold value by considering an auxiliary condition. The sensor is a red, green and blue sensor and a XYZ sensor. The optimization algorithm is implemented in an international commission on illumination (CIE) standardized X, Y, Z color space. An independent claim is also included for a method for operating a lighting device.
