It all started when [Damien Walsh] got his hands on some surplus LED boards. Each panel contained 100 mini-PCBs hosting a single bright LED that were meant to be to be snapped apart as needed. [Damien ...

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are low-voltage light sources that require a constant DC voltage or current to operate optimally. Because they operate on a low-voltage DC power supply, they easily adapt ...

Thanks to their versatility, commodity-level pricing and the eye-popping visual effects they create, programmable LED strips have become a staple ingredient for both Maker-style projects and more ...

High-power LEDs challenge electronics engineers to design accurate and efficient, yet simple, driver circuits. Conventionally, driving high-power strings with accurate current requires dedicated ...

Lumissil Microsystems has introduce a speciallist RISC-V microcontroller for touch-controlled LED-based user interfaces, with optional sound feedback. There are two versions: IS31CS9310 for industrial ...

Light-emitting diodes have become the lighting source of choice for almost all illumination applications. Incandescents, fluorescents, CFLs, and other types are fading away in favor of the almighty ...

Dimming LEDs is an important feature in many of today’s solid state lighting applications. While many implementations for dimming LEDs in the market today rely on PWM modulation of the LED driving ...

Tagging wildlife is never straightforward in the best of times, but it becomes a great deal more complicated when you’re trying to track flying insects. Instead of trying to use a sensor package, ...

Automotive incandescent bulbs have largely given way to more efficient, reliable, stylish, and even safer light emitting diodes (LEDs). LEDs turn on in a fraction of the time and are especially useful ...
