Jose Gonzalez Torres Worldwide Product Engineer for Standard Power Products at Texas Instruments shares in this entry how to design dynamic power solution for stepper motors, relays and LEDs.

Thomas Research Products has introduced a series of low wattage LED drivers designed for use in outdoor fixtures. These models include phase dimming control and are hazardous location rated. Thomas Research Products manufactures SSL power and control solutions.

Every fifth kilowatt hour of electricity around the world is used for artificial light. LED technology, however, is making significant savings possible. About 13 million tons of CO 2 could be saved in Germany alone, equaling the emission of about seven million cars; in German office buildings, the electricity bill could be reduced by more than Euro 500 million. But how can we make introducing the technology easier for industry and end users? With  .dp digital power 2.0™ Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) has developed a digital platform for power supply with which the LED lighting systems can be controlled intelligently, thus making maximum energy savings possible.

The new ready2mains technology from Tridonic enables data to be transmitted in digital form via the existing mains. Dimming commands can therefore be easily transmitted and executed without the need for expensive rewiring. Electricians will benefit from this new technology, as will users looking for greater convenience from their lighting systems. Conventional non-dimmable lighting can now be replaced easily and cost-effectively with state-of-the-art dimmable LED lighting.

Toshiba Lighting and Technology Corp. plans to launch a LED bulb equipped with a GaN power device for its power supply circuit, according to a Nikkei Business report.

Digital Lumens, the leader in intelligent LED lighting and energy management systems, today announced that its Digital Light Agent family of products integrates directly with the recently announced Philips Advance Xitanium SR family of drivers to make any LED fixture part of a LightRules-managed intelligent lighting system.

Programming LED Drivers is nothing new. But it hasn’t been simple or fast. It requires expensive programmable drivers, and requires wiring and powering up each individual driver. Or it requires that cumbersome mechanical resistors be attached to the driver for just setting drive current. This just doesn’t work for high volume, reliable manufacturing in the lighting business.

International Rectifier, IR®, a world leader in power management technology, today introduced the highly integrated IRS29831 LEDrivIRTM control IC optimized for single stage Flyback and Buck-Boost topologies used in LED drivers including LED bulb replacement, LED tube lighting and down lights.

iW3606, iW3608 Single-Stage SSL LED Drivers Deliver Exceptional Bulb Dimming Performance with Lower BOM Cost iWatt Inc., a leading provider of digital-centric power management integrated circuits (ICs), launched its latest single-stage, solid state lighting (SSL) LED drivers to address cost, performance and lifetime issues in dimmable bulb applications. Following the introduction of its single-stage LED driver for non-dimmable incandescent bulb replacement applications earlier this year, iWatt is debuting the iW3606 (8W output power) and iW3608 (15...

Inventronics has announced the release of a broad array of 150W constant current drivers for LED lighting applications.  The ETC-150SxxxDT（ST） series includes 16 different models with output currents ranging from 580 to 4200mA.  Regardless of the output current, each model offers a full load efficiency of 89-91%.  These products all operate over a 312-528Vac input range and provide excellent power factor correction (0.95 at 347V).  They provide a cost-saving and compact solution for ultra-high input voltage applications, which are now using a low inp...

Efficient and Effective AC to DC Power Conversion for Outdoor Use GlacialPower, a sub-division of the experienced technology manufacturer GlacialTech Inc., is pleased to announce their latest, innovative LED driver series – GP-LS200P. Designed for outdoor applications such as streetlights, the GP‐LS200P series efficiently regulates voltage and power consumption. With these drivers, outdoor lighting can benefit from the advantages of LED lighting including lower power consumption, natural‐looking light with no perceptible flickering, and extremel...
