| WEBCAST: Diagnosing and Solving Thermal Challenges in Next-Generation LEDs |
| This webcast, originally broadcast on November 15, discusses how to meet thermal management challenges in a way that addresses performance, lifetime and cost requirements. |
| WEBCAST: LED Luminaire Solution For Indoor Area Lighting |
| This on-demand ON Semiconductor webcast, available starting November 7, outlines a low-power design solution with multiple light distributions for residential and commercial lighting applications. |
| LED modules sit at the confluence of numerous technologies (MAGAZINE) |
| Synergistic electronic, optical and lighting technologies are revolutionizing LED luminaires, says DAN McGOWAN, an Engineering Manager with Molex Inc.
|
| Quantum dots unleash high-color-gamut performance in LED-backlit displays (MAGAZINE) |
| Quantum-dot technology can be used in LCD BLUs to create an optimized spectrum that enables brighter, more-efficient displays with vibrant colors, writes JASON HARTLOVE. |
| Focus on: Indoor lighting applications (MAGAZINE) |
| In the world of LEDs, we see many outdoor lighting applications. But the conditions that LEDs experience indoors are not necessarily as predictable as one might expect. For instance, LED fixtures inside an indoor sports arena face different design criteria than LED luminaires that will illuminate a poultry farm. LAURA PETERS reports. |
| Tunable lenses offer compact solution to combine floodlights and spotlights in one product (MAGAZINE) |
| A luminaire’s beam angle can be flexibly adjusted using a tunable-lens technology in which the shape of the lens can be adjusted, as JOERG WERTLI and MICHAEL BUEELER explain.
|
| Understanding the difference between LED rated life and lumen-maintenance life (MAGAZINE) |
| The rated life of an LED light source is different from the lumen-maintenance life, and is an essential reliability value that is required by luminaire makers and end users, as JIANZHONG JIAO explains. |
| Unique desk lamp designs combine LEDs with heat pipes, and OLEDs with carbon fiber (MAGAZINE) |
| Two desk lamps make the best of LED and OLED technology, respectively, although their price range is probably out of the reach of most consumers, writes TIM WHITAKER. |
| Driving alternate banks of LEDs improves efficacy (MAGAZINE) |
| A power-management technique that alternately lights one bank of LEDs at a time can deliver greater efficacy for displays and lighting, as EZANA HAILE describes. |
| Focus on: Entertainment lighting at PLASA 2011 (MAGAZINE) |
| PLASA, the annual tradeshow for event, installation and entertainment technology, took place on September 11-14, 2011 at Earls Court in London, UK. TIM WHITAKER reports. |
| LED-based products must meet photobiological safety standards: part 1 (MAGAZINE) |
| The reappraisal of the place of LEDs in safety standards has had a significant impact on the process of bringing to market not only LED-based products, but any product containing non-laser sources of optical radiation, writes LESLIE LYONS. |
| LED wafer and automation standards are on the fast track, ready for more industry feedback (MAGAZINE) |
| Thanks to SEMI’s HB-LED manufacturing standards program, the industry is taking the first steps towards agreement on basic issues such as wafer dimensions and equipment interfaces to enable low-cost automated production, explains PAULA DOE. |
| LEDs headline at SALC, speakers predict significant efficiency gains (MAGAZINE) |
| SSL technology dominated both the sessions and exhibits at the annual Street & Area Lighting Conference, reports MAURY WRIGHT, and LED-based lighting that is already succeeding based on efficacy will soon deliver significant additional power savings. |
| India identifies LED lighting as key technology to control energy demand (MAGAZINE) |
| The Indian government has developed policies to stimulate the adoption of LED lighting in the country, and is funding a number of pilot LED street-lighting projects, explains PHILIP JESSUP. |
| Planting virtual trees: the challenge of meeting LEED requirements for light-pollution reduction (MAGAZINE) |
| Reducing the amount of obtrusive light in an outdoor-lighting scenario while also minimizing the carbon footprint of the lighting system presents a difficult challenge, writes MICHAEL SMOLYANSKY. |
| LEDs Magazine October 2011 issue |
| The October 2011 issue of LEDs Magazine is now available. |
| WEBCAST: Efficient Driving and Safe Monitoring of Multiple LED Arrays
|
| This on-demand ON Semiconductor webcast, available starting October 31, discusses ways to efficiently drive and safely monitor multiple LED arrays. |
| WEBCAST: Creating Highly Efficient, Highly Reliable Lighting Designs with Multiple LED Strings |
| This webcast on November 2, presented by Arrow and Fairchild Semiconductor, will explain how to reduce extra parts to save space and provide high reliability and efficiency, and how to get LED driver IC-based products to market faster. |
