Elevating illumination
High-end lighting manufacturers create lighting products that are designed with a focus on premium quality, aesthetics, and functionality. The embrace of the trend on high-end lighting signifies a recognition within the industry of the growing demand for premium lighting...
How do LEDs work
A light emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device which includes an N-type semiconductor and a P-type semiconductor, and emits light by way of recombination of holes and electrons. LEDs are intrinsically direct current (DC) devices that only pass current in one polarity and...
An LED Light Is Only As Good As Its Driver
The development and deployment of light emitting diode (LED) technology across the entire range of lighting applications have been breathtaking over the past few years. Despite the inherent high electro-optical conversion efficiency of LEDs, an LED...
One misconception of LED lighting is that it lasts forever. A majority of consumers and pseudo experts take the useful life of LED light sources as a proxy for the lifetime of an LED lighting system. The useful life of an LED package is often cited as the lumen maintenance life. The lumen...
Lamps and light fixtures that incorporate white LED sources have been employed ubiquitously in residences, offices, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and a host of other environments as energy efficient alternatives to less efficient products. Since Edison's invention of incandescent...
The global lighting market has been undergoing a radical transformation driven by the massively growing adoption of light emitting diode (LED) technology. This solid state lighting (SSL) revolution fundamentally altered the underlying economics of the market and dynamics of the industry. Not...
Light emitting diode (LED) technology has rapidly taken center stage in the lighting world. With their advantages of high efficacy, long lifespan, rugged durability, superior controllability and exceptional design flexibility, LED lamps and luminaires (hereinafter collectively referred to as...
The New Dimension of Lighting
For a long time, the lighting industry had invested practically all of its resources in technologies, solutions and products that fulfill our visual needs. It was not until the discovery of a third photoreceptor (besides rods and cones) in the human eye and the...
