Point light is an idealized point light. Point light source is an abstract physical concept, in order to simplify the research of physical problems.
The parallel light, also called Directional Light, is a group of parallel lights without attenuation, similar to the effect of sunlight. The target directional light produces a cylindrical parallel illumination area, which is a "parallel beam" similar to the target spotlight. The target directional light is mainly used to simulate the effects of sunlight, searchlights, laser beams, etc.

LED The light-emitting diode is a light-emitting device made of semiconductor homogeneous PN junction, heterogeneous PN junction, metal semiconductor (MS) junction and metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) junction. Its working principle and some electrical characteristics are the same as those of general crystal diodes, but the crystal materials used are different. LED includes visible light, invisible light, laser and other different types. Visible LED is common in life. The light-emitting color of the light-emitting diode depends on the materials used, including yellow, green, red, orange, blue, purple, cyan, white, full-color and other colors, which can be made into rectangular, circular and other shapes. LED has the advantages of long life, small size, light weight, low power consumption (energy saving), low cost, low operating voltage, high luminous efficiency, and extremely short luminous response time, Operating temperature range Wide, pure light and color, firm structure (impact resistance, vibration resistance), stable and reliable performance, and a series of characteristics are favored by people.
As the emitting body of LED is close to the "point" light source, the lamp design is more convenient. However, if it is used as a large area display, the current and power consumption are both large. LED can generally be used for indicator lights, nixie tubes, display boards and other display devices and optoelectronic coupling devices of electronic equipment, as well as optical communication, building outlines, amusement parks, Billboard , street, stage and other decorations [1]

characteristic

As a new generation of light source, LED light source is very different from traditional thermal radiation and gas discharge light sources such as incandescent lamp and high-pressure sodium lamp. The current LED light source has the following advantages in lighting:
(1) Small size
Compared with traditional light sources, LED light sources are small in size and light in weight, and can be made into devices of various shapes, which is convenient for the layout and design of various lamps and equipment, with strong adaptability and wide application range.
(2) Good environmental performance
As the LED light source does not need to add metal mercury in the production process, the waste LED will not cause mercury pollution, and almost all of its waste can be recycled, not only saving resources, but also protecting the environment.
(3) Safe and stable
LED light source can be driven by low-voltage DC, and the general power supply voltage is between 6~24V, so the safety performance is good, especially suitable for public places. In addition, under good external conditions, LED light source has smaller light attenuation and longer service life than traditional light source. Even if it is switched frequently, its service life will not be affected.
(4) Good seismic and impact resistance
The basic structure of the LED light source is a piece of electroluminescent semiconductor material, which is placed on a shelf with leads, and then sealed with epoxy resin around. There is no glass shell in the structure, so it is not necessary to vacuum or rush into specific gas in the lamp tube like incandescent lamps or fluorescent lamps. Therefore, the shock resistance and shock resistance of LED light source are good, which brings convenience to its production, transportation and use.
(5) Strong directivity
Compared with traditional light sources, the light emitted from LED light sources is directional, and most of the light emitted from LED can directly hit the illuminated surface, with a utilization rate far higher than that of traditional light sources.
(6) Fast response time
The response time of incandescent lamp is millisecond, and that of LED light source is nanosecond. Therefore, it is widely used in the field of traffic signals and automobile signal lights.
(7) High luminous efficiency
With the development of LED lighting technology, the luminous efficiency of LED light source has increased from less than 10lm/W to more than 100lm/W, and its luminous efficiency still has great potential for improvement.
(8) Rich light and color
LED light source can realize the light emission and color change of various colors in the visible light band by changing the current, chemical modification, monochrome light mixing and other methods. Even for white LED, it can also be made into light source of various color temperatures. Therefore, it has obvious advantages in interior decoration lighting and landscape lighting.
(9) No flicker, no UV
The LED light source uses DC power supply, and its light emission is stable and does not flicker. The spectrum is mainly concentrated in the visible light area, and there is basically no interference of ultraviolet or infrared radiation, which can avoid the adverse impact of stroboscopic effect and improve the comfort of human eyes.
(10) Good brightness adjustability
According to the luminous principle of LED light source, the luminous brightness or output luminous flux of LED basically changes in the positive direction with the current. Its working current can be large or small within the rated range, and has good adjustability, laying the foundation for LED light source to achieve on-demand lighting and brightness stepless control.
It is precisely because LED light source has the advantages that the traditional light source cannot compare with, so LED light source has become the focus and direction of lighting development in various countries. Traditional light source [2]

classification

LED point light sources are divided into target point light sources and free point light sources.
The target point light source can be used to cast light to a target point. Its light distribution attributes include isotropic, spotlight and web.
The function of the free point light source is the same as that of the target point light source, except that there is no target point. You can change the direction of the light by yourself. Similarly, the free point light also has the above three photometric light distribution attributes.
Linear light can also be divided into target linear light and free linear light. The target line light source can be used to cast light to a target object, and its light distribution properties include Diffuse and Web. The function of the free line light source is the same as that of the target line light source, except that there is no target object, and the user can change the direction of the light by himself.
Similarly, the free line light source also has the above two photometric light distribution attributes. The diffuse distribution of light will cast light to the surface at a certain angle with the maximum intensity, and the light intensity will decrease with the inclination of the angle. The Web distribution type allows you to customize the emission intensity of the light.
