LEDs are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for lighting in many situations due to their efficiency, versatility, flexibility, long life, and cost-competitiveness. But unlike the traditional ...

AC loads are everywhere around us and at least home appliances are powered using 220V/110V AC. Many industrial equipment are also powered by the single-phase AC voltage. Therefore having full control ...

True to the history of other types of semiconductor products, LEDs offer better performance at a lower cost with every passing year. So much so, in fact, that the other elements of a conventional LED ...

The ubiquitous triac dimmer can still work with LED lamps, thanks to new ICs. Energy-efficient lighting is in the headlines as we approach the date at which federally mandated efficiency levels for ...

To understand the technology associated with practical LED dimming we first have to look at the technology associated with triac-based incandescent lamp dimmers. The typical triac lamp dimmer circuit ...
