LED Lighting

More and more consumers are meeting with LED lighting every day. LEDs are highly efficient and long-lasting light sources. LED lights must meet certain criteria to operate safely during their specified lifetime. Testing LED lamps and fixtures before they are released enables consumers to purchase high-quality products.

LED lighting devices experience significant energy loss during AC-DC power conversion, electro-optical conversion (electroluminescence), and wavelength conversion. Unlike conventional technologies, in LEDs, all energy losses in the light emitting process are expelled as heat. This presents a major engineering challenge where more than half of the power input is converted...

In the development of LED technology, it was initially planned to produce a single type of LED, but over time it was realized that this was not a viable approach. With the technological developments, different types of LED packages have emerged. TH LED, Mid-power LED, High-power LED, COB (Chip-on-board) LED,...

There are some startling claims about LED lights, the latest and most efficient of lighting technologies. Misinterpretation of research in this area causes fears. Can LEDs really do that much harm to health?

Managing the heat generated by the components is very important in the design of electronic systems. High-power components generate more heat and can cause the system to malfunction. Two different techniques, active cooling and passive cooling, are applied to protect heat generating systems.

There are two different design approaches for LED panels; edge-lit where the light source LEDs are placed at the edges, and back-lit where the LEDs are placed on the base behind the light emitting surface. What are the differences between edge-lit and back-lit?

Light bulbs are generally rated in two different classes, warm white and cool white. Generally, warm white indicates 2700-3000K color temperature range, while cool white represents 6000K-6500K color temperature. Which one should we choose for our houses?

The developer of the Matrix Office Park – a LEED-Gold standard development in Zagreb’s central business district – wanted a distinctive and low-energy exterior lighting for the twin buildings at the heart of the development. It challenged independent lighting design studio Skira to come up with a creative concept that...

LED filament bulbs are more expensive than standard LED bulbs and generally have a shorter lifetime (around 15,000 hours). Nevertheless, it can be said that it is the right choice for chandeliers due to their classic and stylish appearance.

University of Michigan researchers have shown that by including the boron element in the InGaN layer in LEDs, it can reduce electron collisions and increase the light efficiency of LEDs. 72 percent of the world's boron reserves in Turkey, would be a new hope for the lighting industry?

Natural or artificial, light, and its features affect the look and feel of a space and also have profound effects on human mood, emotions, and well-being. Light color temperature, is the light feature that creates different environments with its scale ranging from hot to cold.

There are many details and features that affect your decision when choosing a LED strip light. Color, light intensity and length are the first to come to mind. An important property that is often neglected is voltage. 12V and 24V LED strip lights are widely available in the market. So...

LED lights are used almost everywhere due to their long life, low energy consumption and flexible application possibilities. LEDs, which we are used to seeing in the streets, commercial buildings and workplaces, have now entered our homes and even our bedrooms. So how do LED lights affect our sleep quality?

OLED (Organic LED) is solid state lighting (SSL) technology like LED. OLED is made of carbon-based thin organic layers that are compressed between two electrodes. LEDs are made of different types of heavy metals (arsenic, gallium, indium).

Light pollution is a side effect of the industrial civilisation and the result of ineffective lighting. Luminaires that project light upwards or to the sides cause the night sky to constantly illuminate. A poor lighting design causes following components of light pollution; glare, sky glow, light trespass and clutter.

ERCO is a leading international specialist in architectural lighting, using 100% LED technology. The family business, based in Lüdenscheid, in the heart of Germany, now operates as a global player with independent sales organisations and partners in 55 countries worldwide.

iGuzzini illuminazione, founded in 1959, is an international leader in the field of architectural lighting. Having around 1,500 employees, it is driven by the study, design and production of indoor and outdoor lighting system.

When it comes to healthy lighting, the importance of the full spectrum cannot be overemphasized. Indeed, full spectrum technology represents healthy lighting. As for the reason why, we equal full-spectrum leads to healthy lighting, it’s comes down to our definition of health.

Traditional street lights are used for decades in Turkey. These are planned to be converted with LED luminaires. Within the scope of this study, a 5-year cost benefit analysis of the street lighting transformation was performed, and it was concluded that the present value of the benefit is greater than...

Entek AURA 80W LED High Bay Luminaire is used for the lighting of commercial areas such as industrial facilities, warehouses, parking garages, gyms, factories and workshops. It is preferred in many projects with its light efficiency above 140 lm/W, which has been verified by the accredited laboratory.
