In this article, I would like to talk a little bit about LEDs, including why they will become the lighting source of choice, how to power them and also, how to protect them from the hazards they face ...

Since the earliest versions of indoor LED light bulbs were developed, their designers have faced a variety of technical challenges. These include AC-to-DC power conversion, thermal design/heat-sinking ...

Guest columnist Faraz Hasan, marketing and business development manager at Tyco Electronics Circuit Protection Products says that LEDs can require overcurrent protection despite built-in safety ...

A voltage multiplier is applied as a high source impedance, 36V, 300mA, 12W LED driver. The high source impedance is ideal for driving power LEDs because it accommodates variations in LED junction ...

LED output is a function of the current through it. So to drive the device, it would seem simple enough to set the LED current with a series power resistor. But there’s a problem with this idea. First ...

There are many power management methods that can be used for LED lighting. You can drive them via a number of dedicated driver ICs available on the market, or even use microcontroller units (MCUs) for ...

The driving force behind the switch from incandescent lighting to LED technology is to gain power efficiency and longer life. However, the cost of LED assemblies is much higher than incandescent and ...

The deployment of electronic LED lighting has grown dramatically over the past five years. Most luminaire manufacturers now offer a family of high-bay industrial LED products operating at AC line ...
