LED lighting industry has been evolving for tens of years and there are always questions about “isolated and non-isolated” , which one is better? In the past, this kind of debate only existed in the low and mid power designs but nowadays, the question goes on to high power applications like sports lighting and harbor

Luminaires have a life cycle that can be shorter than expected if they suffer from a voltage or electrical spikes. Power outages are usually the cause of LED light failure, but there are usually fluctuations in power before that happens. Surge protection offers a solution for people who want to prevent these fluctuations or shifts

D4i is the new DiiA specifications that define DALI protocol in the IoT(Internet of Things) era. A DALI expert would argue that D4i would perfectly work for intra-luminaire DALI. Should we expect this to be the case? And what does an intra-luminaire define? Let’s find out below, including how D4i differs from other DALI versions.

It is a trend in the lighting industry to replace traditional incandescent and fluorescent lamps with more efficient and longer-life LEDs. However, since it is directly connected to the AC line, like the traditional pioneers, there may be a risk of 100Hz or 120Hz flicker due to the drive current ripple at the output of

Now more and more high power luminaires are utilized for horticultural or industrial lighting applciations to realize better control and reduce installation and maintenance cost. To achieve that, designers have two options, one single high power LED driver and the other is multiple LED drivers in parallel. Yes, it is possible to put LED drivers

Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) is a protocol for digital lighting control that can easily install a robust, scalable, and flexible lighting network. DALI is currently the most commonly used optical digital protocol. When talking about DALI control, we often hear people say DT6 or DT8. What do they mean? This article will take you

The LED lighting industry continues to adopt the concept of dimming in LED lighting fixtures. Hence dimmable LED drivers constantly get industrial attention. As we know, dimming fulfills visual needs and saves energy in LED lighting fixtures. As a result, when we analyze the concept of dimming, we cannot neglect the subject: dimming curve. Dimming curves

Choosing a power supply for your project can be challenging and tough because there are so many options and regulations to follow depending on where your project is located. You may come across regulations that need a Class 2 or Class II power supply while working on your project, and it’s particularly challenging when deciding between Class

All LED drivers need various protections to prevent failures to protect the system where power suppliers are utilized. There are many types of protections related to voltage, thermal and current which improves the reliability and functionality of LED drivers. However, these protections have a list of specifications. This blog post will explain what they mean and
