LED manufacturers are experts regarding the thermal design inside of the LED package. They can provide the relevant data to describe the thermal performance, and they also have good ideas about how an ...

Fig 1. Single 1-W LEDs can serve as high-power, high-brightness devices. Fig 2. Certain LED applications fall into a gray area where low-power and high-power components both can fit the bill. However, ...

As consumer devices continue to shrink in size, power considerations and appropriate thermal design become increasingly important for circuit designers and board layout engineers. This tutorial helps ...

This custom circuit board picks up some of the pieces from a wall wart to drive a high-power LED. The basic concept is to keep the high-voltage components and swap out the low voltage ones for parts ...

ANSAN, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ 046890), a leading global innovator of LED products and technology, announced that it has introduced high-power LED package ...

In this article, we will examine some of these tools and techniques. High-brightness LEDs vs. high-power LED modules What are HBLEDs exactly, and how do they differ from the LEDs with which we are all ...

The HPL high-power lighting dielectric joins the Thermal Clad metal-core PCB line. Specifically formulated for high-power lighting LED applications, the 0.0015 in. dielectric withstands high ...

LED output is a function of the current through it. So to drive the device, it would seem simple enough to set the LED current with a series power resistor. But there’s a problem with this idea. First ...

Along Spartanburg Highway in an unassuming building that's long been occupied by GE Lighting, a 50,000-square-foot, brand-new production line cranks out hundreds of LED circuit boards a day — bringing ...
