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, ...

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, ...

Easy to Use: Led strip light dimmer use knob control, LED will be adjusted to the appropriate light intensity through this dimmer. Stepless Dimming: Save some cash on energy by reducing the light ...

There’s no shortage of debate about the “Internet of Things”, largely centered on security and questions about how much anyone really needs to be able to turn on their porch light from the other side ...

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 ...

This is yet another project born of necessity. It’s a simple circuit, but does exactly what it’s designed to do – dim LED lights or control the speed of 12V DC motors. The circuit uses PWM to regulate ...

The occasion for this project was retrofitting an illuminated wall picture with LED backlighting. As soon as I applied LED power, the brightness blinded me — much brighter than the original T20 ...

Describes the physics of LEDs, connecting multiple LEDs to a common driver, driver circuits, dynamic backlghting for displays, triac-dimmable drivers, and more. Fig 1. Stokes shift is a phenomenon ...
