Running LEDs from an AC supply
May 2, 2006 · To run an LED-based fixture from a mains supply (e.g. 120 V AC) requires electronics between the supply and the devices themselves to provide a DC voltage (e.g. 12 V DC) capable of driving several LEDs.
What is an LED? - LEDs Magazine
Sep 1, 2004 · In the simplest terms, a light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current is passed through it. Light is produced when the particles that carry the current (known as electrons and holes) combine together within …
Technology roadmap shows UV-C LEDs are on the rise - LEDs …
Jul 24, 2020 · The 1980s inventions enabling the synthesis of high-quality gallium-nitride (GaN) on a common substrate material (sapphire) provided an unprecedented platform for the development of visible-spectrum LEDs: a fully optically transparent and robust compound semiconductor material system specifically suited for the efficient generation of blue light, the primary light source necessary to enable ...
Lutron Launches Six New Features for Architects and Designers to ...
May 20, 2021 · COOPERSBURG, PA—For too long, sophisticated lighting design required complex controls. Last year’s introduction of the Lutron Athena lighting & shading system challenged that paradigm, offering a cohesive controls solution that simplifies design and programming, while still delivering advanced lighting schemes. Now, only six months since Lutron began shipping Athena, the highly awarded ...
Lumileds seeks financial restructuring for growth - LEDs Magazine
Aug 29, 2022 · Just over one year ago, former LEDs Magazine chief editor Maury Wright spoke with Lumileds CEO Matt Roney about the LED manufacturer’s growth trajectory under challenging supply-chain conditions and application segments for the company’s future expansion. Today, the San Jose, Calif.-based lighting solutions company announced that it has entered into a restructuring support agreement (RSA ...
LIGHTING FOR HEALTH | Clearing the obstacles to circadian …
Oct 29, 2024 · Why is it, then, that despite such promise, selling circadian rhythm lighting into healthcare settings remains an uphill battle? The long-term benefits of the technology are clear, and the research is in place, so it is puzzling — and frustrating — that circadian lighting systems have not yet been widely taken up by healthcare providers.. My experience at Nano-Lit Technologies and our work ...
Lumileds CEO discusses SSL revolution and disparate LED market …
Jun 1, 2021 · LEDs: You mentioned micro LED earlier, but I haven’t seen any announcements from you on that subject. Roney: Micro LED is a natural fit for Lumileds because of our depth in technology and innovation and because of our system and process knowledge. We were the first to make the transition to 6-in. wafers and learned a …
Choosing between LED and HPS street lights - LEDs Magazine
Dec 9, 2010 · Many municipalities are weighing the benefits of both LEDs and high-pressure sodium (HPS) as they consider their street-light options. The Lighting Research Center’s National Lighting Product Information Program (NLPIP) formally performed an “apples-to-apples” evaluation of existing street-lighting technologies as detailed in its September 2010 publication Specifier Reports: Streetlights ...
AI meets LEDs for innovations in lighting control (MAGAZINE)
Jul 21, 2021 · FIG. 2. AI-enhanced smart LED lighting and controls can handle functions from executing color-changing lighting schemes to more sophisticated building management operations that integrate safety and security measures, networked sensors, HVAC, and scheduled lighting to supplement natural daylight — all by using machine learning to automate programming, reduce human intervention where needed ...
