From LEDs to Smart Lighting
Apr 28, 2016
These days, the rate of adoption for LEDs has never been higher. Shelves in the big box home improvement stores devote more space to LED bulbs than “old fashioned” incandescent bulbs, as just one example. The effect and use of LEDs is growing ...

OLED Lighting Flickers Through Growing Pains
Mar 24, 2016
Fluorescent and incandescent bulbs have been fixtures of the last century, but they are slowly dying out, replaced by highly efficient LED bulbs. But another form of lighting known as organic LEDs, which can be molded into panels and twisted into...

LEDs Shine On Through Thermal Management
LEDs Shine On Through Thermal Management
Jun 17, 2015
LEDs last longer and operate more efficiently when maintained at lower operating temperatures, as they effectively flow heat away from the active device junctions.
