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.

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 ...

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, ...

High-power industrial Light Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures use series-parallel strings of High Brightness (HB) LEDs to produce superior lighting fixtures compared to traditional, "ballast-based" ...

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 the latest generation of new LEDs achieves higher levels of power and efficiency, use of these devices extends to new areas, such as flashlights and vehicular applications. High-power LEDs are ...

[Alex] needed a project for his microcomputer circuits class. He wanted something that would challenge him on both the electronics side of things, as well as the programming side. He ended up ...
