ABSTRACT
The optimization of trichromatic white light emitting diodes (LEDs) spectrum for application scenes related to the age of lighting users is proposed and demonstrated. Based on the spectral transmissivity of human eyes at different ages, the visual and non-visual responses of human eyes to different wavelengths of light, we have built the blue light hazards (BLH) and circadian action factor (CAF) related to the age of the lighting user. The BLH and CAF are used to evaluate the spectral combinations of high color rendering index (CRI) white LEDs obtained from different radiation flux ratios of red, green, and blue monochrome spectrum. The best spectra of white LEDs for lighting users at different ages in work and leisure scenes are achieved due to the optimization criterion of BLH proposed by us. This research provides a solution for intelligent health lighting design applicable to light users of different ages and application scenes.
