One of the first projects that most people do on an Arduino is to light up or flash an LED. It seems ultra-simple because it ...

There are extremely high powered LEDs out there, and most of the ‘creative’ uses of these are extremely high-powered flashlights, complete with heatsinks, forced air cooling, and beefy power supplies.

Fig 1. Single 1-W LEDs can serve as high-power, high-brightness devices. Fig 2. Certain LED applications fall into a gray area where low-power and high-power components both can fit the bill. However, ...

Loosely defined as LEDs with at least a 1-W capacity, high-power LEDs are a hot technology that’s very much in the market spotlight. Since their emergence, they have found themselves in a diverse ...

This article is excerpted from Section 21 of “Analog Circuit Design: Volume 3 – The Design Note Collection,” (ISBN: 978-0-12-800001-4), edited by Bob Dobkin and John Hamburger of Linear Technology ...

As LEDs continue to displace traditional lighting technologies, there are an increasing number of applications that require high lumen output, high-power LEDs. While the major manufacturers of LEDs ...
