Our engineers have created a wide range of LED lighting resources to inform and educate engineers and entrepreneurs. Learn how to build an LED street light, find out the difference between LED and OLED technology and discover how to choose the right LED
Constant Current vs. Constant Voltage: Find the Right LED Power Supply
Just because LEDs are constant current devices doesn’t mean that they require a constant current power supply. In some cases, constant voltage power supplies might be best. We compare constant current LED drivers and constant voltage LED drivers to help you pick the perfect LED power supply for your application.
Let There Be Light! Working with LEDs in Parallel
Working on a project recently I ran into an issue with just a lack of on hand components and a desire to simplify my project so that you didn’t need to look at mounting complex components.
6 Key Considerations for LED Lighting Design
We discuss six essential specifications you should focus on when designing LED and LED lighting systems for home, commercial, and industrial applications.
How to Build an LED Street Light
Because of their lower power consumption, longer lifetimes and less wasted illumination, LED street lights are gaining acceptance worldwide. This article takes a look at the basics of LED street light design, examining considerations for parts selection and the Bill of Materials (BOM).
LED vs. OLED: Which Display is Best?
Looking for the best LED display? We explain the core functionality of OLED and LED technology to help you find the right fit.
Demonstration of RACT20 Triac dimmable LED driver
Watch RECOM leave their competition in the dark with their RACT20 TRIAC dimmable LED driver.
CR2032 Batteries Keep a Light Shining In the Window
The ubiquitous CR2032 battery is a coin-shaped three-volt lithium-ion battery. This class of battery has a diameter of 20 mm and a thickness of 3.1 mm, with some slight variations. Commonly referred to as a CMOS battery or a coin battery, CR2032 battery units are often used in low-power applications, such as powering a computer’s BIOS or a quiescent device’s real-time clock.
Types of Switching DC to DC Converters
We compare different types of DC to DC converters, including linear vs. switch mode, buck, boost, buck-boost, and transformer-based isolated so you can pick the right one.
What is Embedded Vision?
Thies Moeller, image processing and embedded vision expert from Basler, details the most important components of this kind of system and explains how it is structured and what advantages it offers.
A More Secure Raspberry Pi with the Latest Raspbian Pixel Update
As a tech news follower, you may recall the major distributed denial-of-service attack last October that involved hijacking millions of insecure Internet of Things (IoT) devices to create a powerful botnet that took down several top websites.
