Recently LED fish-attracting lamps have been more widely used in fisheries as low-cost and high-efficiency fishing gear, and development of long-life high-efficiency lamps is required through the design of LED packages to optimize heat resistance. This study developed an improved LED fish-attracting lamp with excellent heat performance, which was verified using a numerical model. Heat-resistance design factors such as the heat-radiation fin shape, PCB type, and LED chip count were investigated and optimized. Comparison with a commercial 180-W LED fishing lamp showed that the increase in initial temperature was 40% higher than that of the surrounding LED chip because of design errors in contact thermal resistance. The 250-W LED lamp developed in this study has a characteristic with thermal rising in linearly stable according to the heat source. In addition, luminance efficiency was improved by 20-65% by using flow-visualization simulation. A decrease of 45% in total power consumption with a fuel-cost reduction of over 55% can be expected when using these optimized heat release design factors.

본 연구에서는 240 W급 고출력 LED 집어등의 특성을 기존 메탈 집어등과 비교하여 배광 패턴의 특성 및 광효율을 분석하고, 파장 대역의 특성을 해양 투과 특성 및 시감도를 고려하여 집어등 광원으로써 적정성을 분석하였다. 색온도 6500 K, white LED 패키지를 적용한 240 W LED 집어등의 특성을 보면 배광각은 ±45°, 조도 변화률이 0.8로 개선되었으며, 광효율은 98.8 lm/W로 향상되었다. LED 집어등의 해수의 투과율과 인간의 암순응시 시감도를 1,500 W 메탈등 1개와 4개의 240 W LED 집어등에 적용하여 비교한 결과, 방사출력이 수심 50 m에 이르면 거의 동등하였으며, 암순응시 시감도만을 적용한 경우에도 LED 집어등이 약 5 % 정도 높은 광속을 나타내었으며, 수심 50 m의 방사출력에 암순응시 시감도를 적용한 경우 LED 집어등의 광속이 14 % 높게 나타나 메탈등의 대체 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

LED는 전기에너지를 빛에너지로 전환하는 효율이 높기 때문에 차세대 광원으로 주목되고 있다. 그러나 조명성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 접합부에서 발생된 열을 적절히 방출하여야 하며, 밀폐형의 경우 방열판으로 전달되는 열을 외부로 배출하는 최적의 설계가 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 LED 조명의 캐비넷 냉각시스템에 설치되는 냉각팬의 위치를 수치해석의 방법으로 고찰한 결과 y/H=0.8 근방이 최적의 위치였다.

LEDs are increasingly used for many applications including automotive, display and special lighting applications. The performance and lighting characteristics of the LED depend on cooling condition because the power LED generates lots of heat. In this study, the effect of the generated heat from power LED module on cooling characteristics and performance is measured and evaluated. For experiments, the transient temperature of a power LED module with cooling condition is measured.
