Small, high-brightness RGB LEDs boast improved color mixing
Upward-lighting multicolor LEDs in the CL-V501 Series have improved color mixing, come in a small package, and exhibit high brightness. Multicolor LEDs have three dies of RGB (red, green and blue) in one package. This lets them generate various colors, including white, and are used for illumination or as indicators in many kinds of products […]
Programmable 3-kW ac-dc supplies reach 400 Vdc
Introducing the HDL3000-HV series of single-phase input 3kW AC-DC power supplies with output voltages from 150V to 400VDC, with up to 800VDC realized by connecting units in series. All models feature output voltage and current adjustment ranging from 0 to 105% using analog (via voltage or resistance) or digital (I2C, RS485, and RS232) interfaces enabling the […]
What is the difference between sensors for low UV, middle UV, and UV-C light?
Unlike visible light, which ranges between 380 nm and 780 nm, ultraviolet (UV) light wavelengths measure between 100 nm to 400 nm. UV is broken into subcategories known as UVA, UVB, or UVC. While UVC rays are the shortest and strongest, naturally occurring UVC rays are mostly absorbed by the atmospheric ozone layer, so they […]
Compact, high-power LED offers broad temperature range from 2200 to 6500 K
ams OSRAM presents a new Quantum Dot LED. LED technology has been on the rise for many years and the demand for high-quality and energy-efficient solutions for general lighting is growing. Manufacturers such as ams OSRAM have dedicated themselves to developing LEDs that meet this requirement. The Osconiq E 2835 CRI90 (QD) pushes efficiency values to […]
Flyback LED controllers for LEDs supporting flicker-free dimming
Cost-effective dimmable and intelligent LED systems are expected to increase the market share disproportionately in the coming years. Introducing the ICL8800, ICL8810, and ICL8820 single-stage flyback LED controllers for constant output voltages, Infineon Technologies AG addresses the need of LED driver manufacturers in this regard. With their unique features, the ICs meet the necessary performance requirements for LED lighting applications, such as LED […]
Displays sport LED control, external LED lighting around their edges
DATA MODUL now offers two fully pre-configured monitor solutions including external LED lighting around the display edges and LED control – not to be confused with display backlight. The monitors are available with 27″ and 31.5″ display diagonals and are also equipped with a cover glass and optional suitable PCAP sensor. This custom lighting solution […]
Low-voltage automotive LED backlight drivers incorporate boost converter
Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. introduces the four-channel, low-voltage MAX25512 automotive LED backlight driver with an integrated boost converter. It is the only integrated solution that retains the full, constant brightness of in-car displays even during extreme cold crank conditions down to 3V input voltage. The single-chip LED driver eliminates an external MOSFET and current sense resistor and […]
LED enables efficient system designs using new phosphor
AMS-OSRAM is expanding its comprehensive horticulture portfolio with the Osconiq S 5050. There is an ideal light recipe for each plant that includes “ingredients” such as the required wavelengths, intensity, average illumination duration, and much more. Operators of greenhouses and so-called indoor farms naturally want to be as energy-efficient as possible in addition to maximizing […]
LED drivers designed to enhance performance of connected lighting systems
ON Semiconductor has announced two new devices designed to enhance the performance of connected lighting systems. The NCL31000 and NCL31001 LED drivers to allow manufacturers to develop LED luminaires with light-based positioning technology and visible light communication. By adding data intelligence and accurate positioning (up to 30 cm), these solutions will revolutionize lighting in a […]
