An LED-driver reference design for an LED replacement of 100W incandescent bulbs has been introduced by Power Integrations, writes Richard WIlson. An LED-driver reference design for an LED replacement ...

Since the earliest versions of indoor LED light bulbs were developed, their designers have faced a variety of technical challenges. These include AC-to-DC power conversion, thermal design/heat-sinking ...

The new driving force for the growth of white LED lighting is quite simple: lower energy consumption and much lower energy bills. By some calculations, the transition from traditional incandescent and ...

LEDs are more efficient than incandescent lights and can last 100 times longer, but they require specialized electronic-drive circuits to avoid overstress conditions. The main operating parameter is ...

Nearly all lighting applications today use LEDs. In a relatively short amount of time, they have become established as the preferred choice of illumination. However, in most applications, an LED can’t ...
