First Claim
1. A method of determining lighting contributions of elements of a solid state lighting component, the method comprising:
- obtaining optical data representative of light output of a solid state lighting component including multiple elements; and
determining an optical property of an element of the solid state lighting component based on one or more wavelength ranges indicated by a comparison of the optical data of the solid state lighting component relative to that of a reference component including at least one reference element.

Abstract
A method of determining lighting contributions of elements of a lighting component includes obtaining optical data representative of light output of the lighting component. Relative intensity data may be calculated from the optical data, and may indicate intensity differences in the light output of the lighting component as compared to that of a reference component. An optical property of an element of the lighting component is determined based on a comparison of the optical data with that of the reference component, where the reference component includes at least one reference element. Related systems and apparatus are also discussed.
