Solid-state lighting (SSL) differs from conventional lighting in that it uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) instead of filaments, plasma, or gases. Although still relatively early in its development, ...

If you're shopping for LEDs, there are many options to choose from-- and dimmer compatibility only complicates matters. Even if you pick the proper color temperature, lumens rating and a desired beam ...

LED lightbulbs are more energy-efficient than standard bulbs, but that doesn't mean they work perfectly all of the time. Here ...

Using LEDs for lighting is an ever-more-popular application because of its high efficacy and long life. Dimmable lighting applications in residential and commercial installations will account for over ...

The quest for energy efficiency has led manufacturers to investigate ways of dimming all kinds of lighting technologies, including those that usually can’t be dimmed. Consider, for example, ...

Designed for use with LED strip lights, the T-Series of dimmers and controllers include a touch-sensitive color wheel, preset programs, memory function, and compatible receivers. T-Series dimmers and ...

Frank Hertel’s project: three individually dimmable LED lights. (Frank is the master of recycling; the wooden mounting pedestals are the panels from a decommissioned ATI console!) Thanks for your ...

National Semiconductor has introduced a mains LED driver, claiming it to have “the industry’s best phase-based dimming performance”. The chip, dubbed LM3450, includes active power factor correction ...

This is a very simple LED dimmer circuit which has 2 transistors, 1 resistor and 2 potentiometers. Typical segment displays LEDs consume around 25 mA for each segment and should be limited to this ...
