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 ...

High power LED lighting is harder than it looks. Power, dimming, control, and communication collide in one design.

Osram Opto Semiconductors was able to sink a surface-mountable infrared (IR) LED into a printed-circuit board, creating what it claims is the first the first flush-mountable version of its kind. The ...

Providing an alternative to conventional PCB indicators and existing right-angle SMT devices, a family of white and blue right-angle LEDs is available in through-hole and SMT configurations. At a ...

Nearly all lighting applications today use LEDs. In a relatively short amount of time, they have become established as the preferred choice of illumination. However, in most applications, an LED can’t ...
