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 ...

EE and firmware developer [Enrico] had played with LEDs as a kid, burning out his fair share of them by applying too much current. With the benefit of his firmware chops, he set about creating a board ...

This reference design demonstrates how to use the Z8FS040 ZMOTION MCU with the IXYS LDS8710 High-Efficiency LED Driver and explains how to implement features such as ambient light detection and LED ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The lighting industry is undergoing an incredibly fast rate for technological development and is continuing to develop rapidly. Consumers are at an inflection point because of the innovations in the ...

Although light-emitting diode (LED) technology has been around for several decades, it's only recently started to become a player in mainstream commercial lighting applications. As the number of ...

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 ...
