Even though LEDs are starting to be more widely used for backlighting liquid crystal display (LCD) panels, the vast majority of panels greater than 10 inches are still backlit using cold-cathode ...

Dimming fluorescent lamps is an attractive feature that provides mood and brightness effects as well as having tremendous energy savings potential. Designing a dimmable electronic ballast, however, is ...

Users can easily reduce energy usage with dimmers. Dimming technology has evolved considerably over the last decade, especially in the arc discharge lamp category. What began as a device for simply ...

In general terms, dimmers are devices that vary light level (intensity) of lamps by controlling the amount of power that is delivered to the lamp. Dimming can be controlled by either manual or ...

Meeting the specs outlined in the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) standard, which is an addendum to the IEC929 electronic ballast standard, the IRPLDIM2 reference design melds on a ...

With dimming levels down to 10%, a new IC minimizes component count to improve dimming-circuit speed, simplify design, and open up new dimming applications. Designing Dimming Circuits for Fluorescent ...

Wireless Flex Dimming offers growers an easy and cost-effective solution to scale operations from a single room to thousands of lights per installation. The new controls enable growers to add fixtures ...

An LED lighting driver chip with in-built 0-10V dimming designed by iWatt does not require a microprocessor to control the dimming function. “We believe this is the first product from anyone with ...

[Frank] decided to augment his desk lamp’s features by adding dimming controls (translated). Since the light source is a triad of LEDs the best method of dimming their intensity is to use Pulse Width ...

This isn’t the be-all, end-all lighting-control system, but it’s both convenient and it can solve a common problem, especially in older homes. Philips’ Hue connected LED light bulbs are among my ...

With LED lighting becoming increasingly popular due to their high luminance, long life, high efficiency and decreasing costs, the subject of controlling and driving the LED's is now a very interesting ...
