Compared to incandescent lightbulbs, LEDs produce a lot more lumens per watt of input power — they’re more efficient at producing light. Of course, that means that incandescent light bulbs are more ...

Designed for high temperature environments, the UW3804X and UW5805S white, through-hole LEDs deliver high brightness, making them suitable for use in indoor/outdoor displays, signs, and symbol ...

The increasing use of color displays in portable devices has spurred a number of semiconductor suppliers to develop driver ICs for white LED arrays. Although white LED drivers have been available for ...

It’s an interesting week in the world of LEDs: on the weekend we heard about ultra-cheap ones, and today Osram (yes, the lightbulb people) has news that they’ve pushed white LEDs to world-record ...

In the pursuit of environmentally-friendly lighting, organic LEDs have long been touted as an attractive option. They could be significantly more efficient than conventional lighting and unlike ...

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are better than compact fluorescent bulbs–LEDs use less energy, last longer, and contain no toxic mercury–but for general white-light illumination, they’re still far too ...
