Generally, we can say that LEDs are environmentally friendly and recyclable. They have a long lifetime and low power consumption. They don’t contain hazardous substances, for example, mercury as compact fluorescent lamps do. In this blog post, I will present to you four environmentally friendly luminaire component choices. LED That Don’t Need a Driver Have…
I have two blog posts for you focused on how you connect COB LED components into the electrical network. I mean, when you have either a single COB LED or an LED module based on SMD LED components assembled on a PCB board. Compared to traditional lighting, connecting LEDs to the electrical network is a whole…
Elfack exhibition will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden from 9th to 12th of May. As it has been with previous exhibitions, we will be releasing new products and presenting the latest technology at our stand. This year we will introduce and present the following products at our stand F04:70. aLED Engine We designed aLED Engine for…
You can use several different dimming options to dim LED Lighting. What are the possibilities and what dimming should you look from a LED driver? I’m going to answer these questions in this blog post by going through the different systems. The goal is to give you the basic understanding of the dimming methods available…
The selection of Constant Current driver is not always that simple, Esko wrote a post about it some time ago. You can read that here. Below you can find an infographic about the same topic. If you like it, feel free to share. Here is a link to our Lightbuilder.
We get a lot of questions regarding flicker. People are asking what it is and what causes it. I decided to to some research and write a post about the topic. I have very little technical understanding and therefore I try to explain this in simple manner. What is Flicker You all know the effect when it…
In this blog post we concentrate on how to design a LED lighting package as a whole. And what different aspects you will have to take into account when selecting a light source and a driver. I decided to write this as a case example so that the post is more concrete. Most of the…
We discussed earlier about general characteristics of LED drivers and how to choose a suitable constant current LED driver for your application. Now, I’m going to tell you how to choose a right LED driver for your constant voltage application. As told in the previous posts, LED drivers are divided into two different categories: constant…
We discussed earlier about the general characteristics of LED drivers. In this post, I’m going to tell you how to choose a right LED driver for your application. LED drivers are divided into two different categories: constant current and constant voltage drivers. But that is not the only thing you have to take into account…
LED driver is the source of power for LEDs. Whenever you are building an LED luminaire, you will always need a driver or possibly even multiple drivers. There are different types of LED drivers, as there are different types of LEDs. LED drivers can be divided into two categories: constant current(CC) and constant voltage(CV) drivers.…
