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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

1. A Cree XM-L RGBW high-power LED can be driven by two LT3964 LED drivers for accurate 1:8192 per channel dimming. 2. Typical driver architectures offer 8-bit color resolution. Implementing a driver ...

Most engineers are quite familiar with typical low-power-indicator LEDs, whether they be surface-mount or the classical through-hole packages. All that's needed to use them is a voltage source and a ...

Joel Spira invented the solid-state dimmer switch in 1959. There are reportedly at least 150M dimmers currently out in the world, which is doubtless the reason for the EnergyStar requirement that CFL ...

Despite the Republican party’s best, yet misguided efforts, incandescent bulbs are on their way out. Energy-efficient lighting like CFLs and LEDs are fast becoming the norm, and it was only a matter ...

Before I had even moved into my new apartment a few months ago, I was already dreaming of ways to integrate HomeKit throughout the space. The number one priority being how to turn it into a ...

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 ...
