LEDgestützte

LEDgestützte describes systems or components that use light-emitting diodes to provide supporting functionality within a larger setup. The term is used in contexts where LEDs contribute to illumination control, sensing, measurement, or communication rather than being the sole light source.

Applications include LED-gestützte Beleuchtungssysteme, where LEDs are actively controlled for energy efficiency, adjustable color temperature, and dimming; optical sensing and metrology, in which LED light serves as a reference or illumination source for imaging, distance measurement, or material analysis; and visible light communication (VLC), where modulated LEDs transmit data to receivers such as photodiodes or cameras.

Technology and implementation typically involve LED arrays or individual LEDs, appropriate drivers, and control electronics. In sensing or metrology, detectors capture reflected or transmitted light, sometimes with deliberate modulation of the LED output to encode information. In lighting contexts, smart drivers coordinate intensity, spectral composition, and timing, often interfacing with IoT platforms for monitoring and automation.

Advantages of LEDgestützte approaches include high energy efficiency, long service life, precise control over light output and spectrum, and the potential to reuse existing lighting infrastructure for secondary functions such as sensing or communication. Challenges encompass heat management, initial cost, compatibility with control ecosystems, flicker issues, and the need for standardized interfaces and interoperability.
