As a solid state light source, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been widely used due to their superior longevity, excellent efficacy, and friendly environmental attributes. Today, LEDs are replacing ...
High-brightness LEDs are an inexpensive, robust, and green replacement for halogen light bulbs. This Idea for Design shows you how to apply an AC LED driver to convert the usual 12 or 24 V AC ...
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS Incorporated introduced a new single-stage LED lighting pulse width modulation (PWM) controller. The TRIAC-dimmable solution regulates Find a downloadable version of this story in ...
This document describes a non-isolated, high power factor (PF), TRIAC dimmable LED driver designed to drive a nominal LED string voltage of 96V at 210 mA from a high line input voltage range of 195 ...
Low power factor reduces an electrical system’s distribution capacity by increasing current flow. Therefore, having a low power factor is inefficient and expensive. But what is power factor and what ...
Most discussions on manufacturing energy efficiency focus on identifying easy-to-find-and-fix energy wasters such as compressed air leaks, inefficient lighting, equipment that is always left on when ...
