"Smart" solid-state light sources now being developed not only have the potential to provide significant energy savings, but also offer new opportunities for applications that go well beyond the ...

The energy efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is expected to equal the most efficient white light sources by 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Washington, D.C. However, a ...

The SSL Quality Advocates program is open to all who manufacture, sell, or recommend LED lighting. At the heart of the initiative is a new, standardized Lighting Facts label, similar to the U.S. Food ...

For optimum performance, high-power LED light sources require intelligent drivers that are able to take into account specific colorimetric, electrical, and temperature behavior ...

High-power LEDs promise a growing number of advantages, including lower long-term cost and longer life, over both incandescent light bulbs for interior ...

A New Energy Star Requirement for solid-state lighting (SSL) luminaires has implications for LED power supply designers.

One of the chief benefits of LEDs, more generally known as solid-state lighting, is that they last a very long time—in some cases, orders of magnitude longer than incandescent or fluorescent devices.

Growth in the high-brightness LED market will be fueled increasingly by illumination applications over the next five years as the price/performance characteristics of devices improve. Bob Steele of ...

With precise parameter control, full automation and an unusually compact design, it's a new-generation MOCVD tool built for today's LED manufacturing must-haves: high productivity, high yields and ...

Carlo Gavazzi Inc. is proud to announce its new generation of proportional output 3-phase controllers, the RGC2P and RGC3P Series.

Researchers announce a two-pronged approach to both measure and self-adjust the spectral power distributions (SPDs) of LED lighting systems. Their methodology demonstrates the system's ability to ...
