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

Want to control the colors in your home? Sure, you could just buy a Philips Hue bulb, but where’s the hacking fun in that? [Dario] agrees: he has written a tutorial on building an Arduino-controlled ...

Advanced technology is driving the very rapid spread of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) into a wide range of new and existing lighting applications. The two most important reasons for this trend are (1) ...

Advanced LED lighting arrays can spectrally tune their output wavelength to highlight different features and defects in captured images. The capability enables a single light fixture to quickly adapt ...

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 several factors that can affect solid state lighting in electronic design from stress issues, to packaging-related issues to component-related issues. Design engineers must take these ...

In this presentation, Eric Bronson, senior lighting specialist with Anixter International, led with a simple yet clear message: LED lighting is not maintenance free. In fact, there are a number of ...
