photobiologyLEDs

CRAN version cran checks R-CMD-check

Package ‘photobiologyLEDs’ complements other packages in the R for photobiology suite. It contains spectral emission data for diverse types of light emitting diodes (LEDs) and LED arrays (leds.mspct) available as electronic components. Spectra for LED-based lamps and other lamps are included in package ‘photobioloyLamps’. Package ‘photobiologyLEDs’ also includes spectra from a COB LED when dimmed using the constant current approach (COB_dimming.mspct) and for a COB LED combined with reflectors with different beam angles (COB_reflectors.mspct).

This package contains only data. Data are stored as collections of spectra of class source_mspct from package ‘photobiology’, which is the core of the R for photobiology suite. Spectra can be easily plotted with functions and methods from package ‘ggspectra’. The spectra can be used seamlessly with functions from package ‘photobioloy’. However, class source_mspct is derived from list and class source_spct is derived from data.frame making the data also usable as is with base R functions.

Examples

library(ggspectra)
library(photobiologyLEDs)

How many spectra are included in the current version of ‘photobiologyLEDs’?

length(leds.mspct)
#> [1] 93
length(COB_dimming.mspct)
#> [1] 8
length(COB_reflectors.mspct)
#> [1] 4

What are the names of available spectra. We use head() to limit the output.

# list names of the first 10 LEDs
head(names(leds.mspct), 10)
#>  [1] "Agilent_HLMB_CB30"           "Agilent_HLMB_CD31"          
#>  [3] "Agilent_HLMP_CB31"           "Agilent_HLMP_CM30"          
#>  [5] "Agilent_HLMP_CM31"           "Agilent_HLMP_DJ32"          
#>  [7] "Agilent_HLMP_DL32"           "Bridgelux_3W_455nm"         
#>  [9] "Bridgelux_BXRE_50S2001_c_73" "CREE_XPE_480nm"

To subset based on different criteria we can use predefined character vectors of LED names. For example, vector nichia_leds lists the names of the spectra for LEDs made by NIchia.

Nichia_leds
#> [1] "Nichia_NVSU233B_U365"            "Nichia_NVSU119C_U385"           
#> [3] "Nichia_NFSW757G_Rsp0a"           "Nichia_NFSL757GT_Rsp0a"         
#> [5] "Nichia_NFCWL036B_V3_Rfcb0"       "Nichia_NF2W757GT_F1_sm505_Rfc00"
#> [7] "Nichia_unknown_757"              "Nichia_NS6L183AT_H1_sw"         
#> [9] "Nichia_NFSW757G_V3_Rs060"

We can use the vector to extract all these spectra as a collection.

The package includes a character vector with the names of LED brands and LED colors as used for indexing vectors.

led_colors
#> [1] "uv"     "purle"  "blue"   "green"  "yellow" "orange" "red"    "ir"
led_brands
#>  [1] "Agilent"        "Bridgelux"      "CREE"           "Epileds"       
#>  [5] "Epistar"        "HueyJann"       "LCFOCUS"        "LedEngin"      
#>  [9] "Ledguhon"       "Luminus"        "Marktech"       "Nichia"        
#> [13] "Norlux"         "Osram"          "QuantumDevices" "Roithner"      
#> [17] "Samsung"        "SeoulSemicon"   "TaoYuan"        "Weili"
led_uses
#> [1] "plant_grow" "high_CRI"

Vectors like Nichia_leds shown above are available for all the brands listed in led_brands, all the colors in led_colors, and all the uses in led_uses.

Summary calculations can be easily done with methods from package ‘photobiology’. Here we calculate photon irradiance. As the spectra are normalised we pass allow.scaled = TRUE,

q_irrad(leds.mspct[["Nichia_NS6L183AT_H1_sw"]], 
        allow.scaled = TRUE, scale.factor = 1e6)
#>   Q_Total 
#> 151086898 
#> attr(,"time.unit")
#> [1] "second"
#> attr(,"radiation.unit")
#> [1] "total photon irradiance"

The autoplot() methods from package ‘ggspectra’ can be used for plotting one or more spectra at a time.

autoplot(leds.mspct[["Nichia_NS6L183AT_H1_sw"]]) + theme_bw()

The classes of the objects used to store the spectral data are derived from "data.frame" making direct use of the data with functions and methods from base R and various packages easy.

Documentation

HTML documentation is available at (https://docs.r4photobiology.info/photobiologyLEDs/), including a User Guide.

News on updates to the different packages of the ‘r4photobiology’ suite are regularly posted at (https://www.r4photobiology.info/).

Two articles introduce the basic ideas behind the design of the suite and its use: Aphalo P. J. (2015) (https://doi.org/10.19232/uv4pb.2015.1.14) and Aphalo P. J. (2016) (https://doi.org/10.19232/uv4pb.2016.1.15).

A book is under preparation, and the draft is currently available at (https://leanpub.com/r4photobiology/).

A handbook written before the suite was developed contains useful information on the quantification and manipulation of ultraviolet and visible radiation: Aphalo, P. J., Albert, A., Björn, L. O., McLeod, A. R., Robson, T. M., & Rosenqvist, E. (Eds.) (2012) Beyond the Visible: A handbook of best practice in plant UV photobiology (1st ed., p. xxx + 174).
