MR16 halogen lamps normally operate from a low-voltage AC source typically generated by a low-frequency AC transformer or by a high-frequency electronic transformer. In most MR16 applications, the ...

Textiles have been getting smarter for years, but they’re usually fairly limited in size and scope. Now a team of scientists led by Cambridge has woven together a 46-inch textile display, loaded with ...

The deployment of electronic LED lighting has grown dramatically over the past five years. Most luminaire manufacturers now offer a family of high-bay industrial LED products operating at AC line ...

Up until 1990, the standard headlight assembly contained only incandescent sources, mostly separate, to create all desired functions. Whether the functions were created by sealed beam lamps or bulb, ...

Researchers from the University of Manchester and University of Sheffield have developed a new prototype semi-transparent, graphene-based LED device that could form the basis of flexible screens for ...

It’s hard to believe that the first blue LED didn’t arrive until 1993. They look simple, but looks are deceiving (Fig. 1). 1. Image showing a blue InGaN-based LED with gold wire contacts (0.4 × 0.4 mm ...

In Part 1 of this three-part series, we discussed the importance of a well-engineered PCB ground plane for LED drivers, so the ground plane can be effective in managing disturbance energy generated ...

Samsung Electronics plans to launch 89-inch microLED TVs with microLED panels based on LTPS (low-temperature polysilicon) TFT glass backplanes in the third or fourth quarter of 2023, according to ...

I have had a bunch of do-it-yourself Electronic LED Roulette Wheel kits for years now. I finally got them out of the drawer. Most of them are inexpensive Spinning LED Wheel kits where, when pressing a ...

The typical household LED light bulb is advertised with a 25,000 hour lifespan, which would be more than 20 years at 3 or so hours of use per day. That sounds great, but it seems that a good number of ...
