LED Lighting

LEDs can replace mass-market high power UV light sources, according to a German research team coordinated by Osram. The optical outputs are expected to be: >20mW at 300±10nm >140mW at 280±10nm >80mW at 260±10nm One of the project aims is to make sources that are sufficiently long-lived to replace mercury-based sources in production, disinfection, life sciences and medicine, and to ...

The UK’s only LED maker has reinvented itself with a unique silicon process.

If you work in lighting, you had probably better pencil in a trip to London on 15 and 16 November for the LuxLive exhibition at the ExCel in Docklands.

LED make Osram has revealed the prototype for its thousand pixel matrix headlight LED. By pixelating the light source, arbitrary headlight beam patters can be created, extending the concept of main/dip beam to complex beam shapes that minimise dazzle while maximising useful illumination for the driver. Sketch of Eviyos Branded Eviyos, the 1,024 pixels are combined in a 4 x ...

LEDs can shed infrared light on low cost, long lifetime sensors to monitor carbon dioxide levels in buildings, suggests Ralph Weir.

UK LED maker Plessey has proved LED lighting can increase crop yield, in a trial where it was added to an existing high-pressure sodium (HPS) light installation. The seven-month trial, managed by Plessey head agronomist Maarten Klein (right), ran from November 2016 at Gebr Koot in the Netherlands. Brioso variety tomatoes were illuminated by either 150μmoles/s/m² of HPS or the ...

Philips Lighting has collaborated with Renault on a concept car that interacts with a smart home

An integrated colour display module with touch interface, along with the Android SDK, for the WaRP7 development platform

It sums up the thermal challenge in the growing market for UVC LEDs being used to disinfect medical instruments, water and other everyday consumer products.

LED light sources can be tailored to deliver exactly the right quality of light required for specialist tasks.
