Solid-state lighting (SSL) differs from conventional lighting in that it uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) instead of filaments, plasma, or gases. Although still relatively early in its development, ...

The concept: find a COTS* motorcycle LED light dimmer that can be spliced into an auxiliary LED light array to vary the light output. We found this “Rotary LED Dimmer”, made by ADVmonster and designed ...

If you're shopping for LEDs, there are many options to choose from-- and dimmer compatibility only complicates matters. Even if you pick the proper color temperature, lumens rating and a desired beam ...

When it comes to LED LCDs, as in every TV that's not OLED, the key to the best picture quality is a technology called "local dimming." This gives the TV greater control over what parts of the screen ...

Lights are an integral part of any home. With lighting being some of the important components in any home, users might be tempted to spice things up a little bit. Smart home systems are only now ...

TRIAC-dimmers were originally designed to dim incandescent filament lamps. The elimination of these lamp types increases the need for alternative dimming methods. The use of TRIAC-dimmers in ...

LED lighting can transform your space, but pairing it with the wrong dimmer can lead to flickering, buzzing, or even damage. Choosing LED-compatible dimmers, wiring them correctly, and using proper ...

This is a very simple LED dimmer circuit which has 2 transistors, 1 resistor and 2 potentiometers. Typical segment displays LEDs consume around 25 mA for each segment and should be limited to this ...

There’s no shortage of debate about the “Internet of Things”, largely centered on security and questions about how much anyone really needs to be able to turn on their porch light from the other side ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. EXPONENTIAL GROWTH of LED lighting has ushered in a vast selection of integrated circuit devices to provide controlled ...
