GL Spectrosoft Light Measurement Software Supports the New Color Fidelity Index Rf
GL Spectrosoft Light Measurement Software Supports the New Color Fidelity Index Rf GL Optic has upgraded its software GL Spectrosoft Pro to meet the latest requirements of the international CIE (International Commission on Illumination). The number of reference colors used to calculate the Ra value has been increased from 8 to 99 reference colors to calculate the new Rf value. All LED products can be compared objectively in terms of color rendering quality. The new software can be used with all products of GL Optic. Read more »

Future Lighting Solutions - LED Reliability Tool: Make Design Tradeoffs Between Performance and Lifetime
Future Lighting Solutions has released the LED Reliability Tool (LRT) at www.futurelightingsolutions.com/LRT, the first interactive online tool that enables lighting designers to truly predict the lifetime of LEDs in their application as a function of junction temperature and current. All the results from the LRT have a 90% confidence interval, which allows users to accurately make design tradeoff decisions such as increasing drive current or decreasing the size of the thermal management solution while reaching a target LED lifetime.
