Street and area lighting: Saving energy with better lighting
Published: May 2012
Outdoor street and area lighting remains the hottest segment of the LED lighting industry as solid-state lighting (SSL) provides incredible energy savings in applications where lights burn throughout the night. Moreover, adaptive-control technology can be combined with inherently-controllable LED sources to compound energy savings via dimming and powering lights off when not needed. LEDs further offer better light quality than HID sources and eliminate light pollution. Fully understand the outdoor lighting segment by investigating control technologies, evaluating deployment strategies, and considering the delicate balance between safe lighting levels and minimal energy usage. Articles include:
- Seattle conducts LED street light testing and hosts symposium
- LEDs headline at SALC, speakers predict significant efficiency gains
- Raleigh LED lighting projects demonstrate durability and savings

Drivers & Control for LED Lighting
Published: December 2011
Driver technologies and control architectures are crucial in helping LED-based lighting systems to realize their full potential in terms of long lifetime, energy efficiency and other beneficial features.
LED luminaire makers must design products that work with legacy dimming-control technologies, for example, while the driver-IC community must keep pace with the constant evolution and enhancement of LED light sources. This Editorial Digest discusses some of these issues. Articles include:
- LED lighting and control systems evolve for optimal efficacy
- Brighter LEDs can simplify driver designs
- LED lighting must work with legacy dimming technologies
- Wired and wireless interfaces convey dimming settings to luminaires
