In a previous article, I discussed LEDs in general and their properties. In this write-up, I want to give some examples of driving LEDs and comparing a few of the most commonly used methods. There is ...

LED lighting continues to successfully carve out a growing portion of $50 billion lighting market, which is not surprising given that LEDs provide the best energy efficiency when compared to CFL and ...

The demands on the ordinary light fixture have dramatically increased in recent years. Commercial buildings have started using lighting to attract customers, consumers have started looking for more ...

The call for improved energy efficiency and government/energy code requirements continues to drive the need for greater use of lighting control. Effectively, flexible lighting control delivers the ...

1. A Cree XM-L RGBW high-power LED can be driven by two LT3964 LED drivers for accurate 1:8192 per channel dimming. 2. Typical driver architectures offer 8-bit color resolution. Implementing a driver ...

Most engineers are quite familiar with typical low-power-indicator LEDs, whether they be surface-mount or the classical through-hole packages. All that's needed to use them is a voltage source and a ...

There are plenty of utilities out there to control keyboard LED indicators, but I'm rather interested in controlling the power LED on my headless 1U rackmount. While theoretically there are tons of ...

Solid-state lighting (SSL) is shaping up to be a remarkably complex technology, combining the sciences of light and color with the potential to provide many features that were previously unattainable ...

A microscopic light-emitting diode device that controls the activity of neurons has given researchers wireless control over animal behavior. The tiny device, tested in mice, causes less damage than ...
