More and more frequently, luminaires in the professional sector are equipped with LEDs. This applies both for indoor and outdoor lighting solutions. In the process, luminaire manufacturers give particular importance to durable, efficient and high-quality LEDs. “The demand for high-quality and robust light emitting diodes will continue to increase in the future. The Duris P 5 represents a true leap in innovation, in particular owing to its minim...

Mouser Electronics, Inc. has announced that it has signed a global distribution agreement with Cree.

Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are a reliable means of indication compared to light sources such as incandescent and neon lamps. LEDs are solid-state devices requiring little power and generating little heat

The technology of Light Emitting Diodes (LED) is not new, but its application in lighting technologies is. With the development of high-efficiency and high-performance LEDs it has become possible to use LEDs in lighting and illumination. This kind of lighting technology has shown a very fast and interesting development. It is very flexible and consumes much less energy than conventional lighting systems do. A building's carbon footprint from ligh...

This design note shows the ZXSC300 or ZXSC310 driving a 3W LED. The input voltage ranges from 6.2V to 3.8V with a maximum output current of 1.11A at 6V input.

Switching at a frequency of up to 1MHz and ensuring closely controlled rise and fall times, the AL8807 buck LED driver from Diodes Incorporated has been purpose designed to reduce EMI issues in the lower cost MR16 LED lamp market. To achieve required higher output powers, the driver can operate at input voltages between 6~30V and provide up to 8 series connected LEDs with a constant 1A current.

Power Technology, Inc. announces the availability of new blue laser diode wavelengths and power levels for 2011. These new laser diodes can be installed in a wide assortment of PTI modules created to address the needs of high-end OEM applications. These include laser-induced fluorescence, confocal microscopy, high-resolution printing, flow cytometry, and Raman spectroscopy. Most applications that use Argon-Ion, Helium Cadmium, and blue ND: YAG la...

OSRAM Opto Semiconductors was an award winner at the 17th Annual Automotive News PACE Awards for innovation held at a black tie ceremony last night at the Max M. Fisher Music Center in Detroit, Mich. The award was accepted by Peter Knittl, LED automotive director at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors.

ProPhotonix Limited, announced that it will distribute two new high-power laser diodes from opnext

Switches used in control elements, such as starters or stop lamp on/off switching, of motorbikes, buggies, other sports mobiles, and agricultural equipment require high water resistance so they can be used in the rain or immersed in water. Demand for switches compatible with weak through to medium currents is also on the rise due to increasing use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for items like stop lamps on motorbikes.
