-	In Strickland's paper, it's mentioned that they used 8000 mcd LEDs from [http://www.theledlight.com theledlight.com], with 20º viewing angle and 468 nm at 3.4 V.	+	== Cell culture absorbance test ==
-	It's also mentioned that a single LED was used per tube, with a cross section of 0.12 cm<sup>2</sup> = 1.2x10<sup>-5</sup> m<sup>2</sup>.	+	Raw results in [[File:Team-EPF-Lausanne-cell-culture-absorbance-nanodrop.pdf]].

-	20º viewing angle, 0.35 rad, means a solid angle of 2π(1-cos(0.35)) = 0.381 sr.	+

-	This gives a luminous flux of 0.381*8 = 3.05 lm per LED.	+
-		+
-	The illuminance they used was then 3.05/1.2x10<sup>-5</sup> = 2.54x10<sup>5</sup> lux (or lm/ m<sup>2</sup>).	+
-		+
-	A bioreactor that has some 0.2*π*0.3 = 0.19 m<sup>2</sup>, we would need at least 2.54x10<sup>5</sup> * 0.19 = 48260 lm, or some 16000 LEDs just to make sure the outer surface of the bioreactor has the same light conditions!!	+
-		+
-	This doesn't take into account reflections in the bioreactor, so I hope it will lower this number.	+
