However LEDs are dimmed – be it by 1 – 10 V analogue voltage, mains phase angle, power-line, digital inputs such as DALI, or a WLAN link, there is in fact only two ways to actually dim the output of a ...

We’ve lined up an online discussion on November 17th on dimming techniques and how they affect LED performance. We have two panelists, one from the LED driver side, Victor Zwanenberg, Sr Apps engineer ...

Control and dimming is an essential feature of many LED-based solid-state lighting (SSL) systems. However, there has been a shortage of standards to ensure compatibility between dimmable LED light ...

At the Strategies in Light Europe conference, Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) introduced two highly integrated, phase-dimmable ac-dc LED lighting drivers, LM3448 and TPS92070, for use in solid state ...

A recent discussion with Scott Brown of iWatt revealed some interesting facts about the design of IC drivers for consumer LED lighting. Although LED lifetime can reach about 20 years and the power ...

If you agree with our assertion that smart light switches are a better solution than smart light bulbs, you should give Cree’s new A19 soft-white dimmable LED a long look. Far too many LED bulbs choke ...

To simplify incandescent-like LED dimming – where colour temperature (CCT) falls with intensity – Dialog Semi has introduced a single chip dual output power converter that needs no microcontroller.

Originally hailing from Troy, Ohio, Ry Crist is a writer, a text-based adventure connoisseur, a lover of terrible movies and an enthusiastic yet mediocre cook. A CNET editor from 2013 to 2024, Ry's ...

Infineon has brought out an LED driver IC with a hybrid dimming mode technology for achieving 0.5% of the target current. With its supply voltage range from 8 V DC up to 80 V DC, the driver IC ...
