Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to an LED luminaire potting method having the following steps: introducing a configured luminaire to be potted with an optically transparent potting compound into an at least partly optically transparent potting mold (16). The potting mold (16) is arranged in a vacuum chamber (11), and the luminaire is fixed in the potting mold (16) such that the luminaire does not come into contact with the walls of the potting mold; introducing an optically transparent potting compound (18) into the potting mold (16) until at least the luminaire is surrounded; and detecting a quantity of bubbles and the quality of the bubble prevention of the optically transparent potting compound (18) by means of an optical sensor or image detector (14), wherein the pressure in the vacuum chamber (11) is controlled in order to influence the bubbles and/or a pivot/inclination device (12) is controlled in order to move the vacuum chamber (11) and/or the potting mold (16) in order to expel detected gas/air bubbles (19) out of the optically transparent potting compound (18). The invention further relates to an LED luminaire and a method for producing a potted LED luminaire.
