Fraunhofer IBP Study Confirms the Performance of Human Centric Lighting Solutions
Fraunhofer IBP Study Confirms the Performance of Human Centric Lighting Solutions Nichia, the world’s largest LED manufacturer and inventor of high-brightness blue and white LEDs, has commissioned the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP, to analyze its Dynasolis solution. The solution consists of a combination of Nichia's cyan-colored Azure LED and the multiple award-winning H6 LED family, which can adjust both color temperature and melanopic illuminance. Dynasolis can be adjusted within a color temperature range of between 2700K (with little to no cyan) and 10000K (with a larger share of cyan). Read more »

Shape Enabling LED Technology
Shape Enabling LED Technology MetroSpec Technology®, the leading American manufacturer of custom FlexRad® LED light sources, announces its new FacetCore™ geometry set for architectural LED light fixtures requiring uniform lighting. With FacetCore, fuller light fills can be achieved while providing even greater uniformity. Geometries optimized for 90 degrees to 360 degree projection are realized using 1, 2, 3, or 4 sided wrapable facets. FacetCore geometries radically simplify various fixture types, eliminating mechanical parts and electrical wires and interconnect. They are a powerful solution - supporting lengths up to 16 feet without the need of a splice, utilizing available space minimally with ease. Read more »

LUXEON HL1Z Outperforms Seemingly Brighter Competitors, and the Proof is in the Application
LUXEON HL1Z Outperforms Seemingly Brighter Competitors, and the Proof is in the Application Data sheets have long been the go to source for LED specifications and are broadly used to narrow options and ultimately select an LED for a particular application. Too often, however, factors not accounted for in the data sheet significantly affect the LED’s performance in the application and, in some cases, relying on data sheet specifications alone will lead to the wrong conclusion. LUXEON HL1Z, Lumileds newest high power LED offers the perfect example. Read more »

Newly Developed Technique to Improve Quantum Dots Color Conversion Performance
Newly Developed Technique to Improve Quantum Dots Color Conversion Performance Quantum dots color conversion (QDCC) has become a foundational technology in the design of full-color light-emitting devices with dramatically improved color performance. However, conventional QDCC pixels fabricated by inkjet printing, that is commonly used, are still too thin to achieve efficient color conversion. A research team has developed perovskite quantum dots microarrays with strong potential for QDCC applications, including photonics integration, micro-LEDs, and near-field displays. Read more »
