Introducing the new LED Lighting News series from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors
A new video news series has been launched on the LED Light Site. The LED Lighting News provides information on LED industry trends and highlights our most popular, state-of-the-art products, services and events. You can view the LED Lighting News series on the new home page.
 
LED Lighting News
 
OSRAM Opto Semiconductors plans to release twenty-four videos over the next year, each video featuring topics relevant to engineers and designers interested in learning more about LEDs and LED technology. The goal of the new video series is to provide viewers with another resource for learning about LED lighting in an interactive way. The videos offer general news for anyone interested in LED applications, from savvy LED lighting customers to those simply looking to explore information on LED lighting techniques and products. 
 
The first three videos in the LED Lighting News, Horticultural Lighting, Applications Support and DURIS are now live on the LED Light Site.
LED Light Site New Home Page

OSRAM Opto Semiconductors recently launched a fresh new home page for the LED Light Site.
 
The home page has been updated to deliver enhanced navigation and easy access to the site's most popular resources. The flagship of the new home page is the new video series offering the user the option to scroll through and watch multiple videos. 
 
This new homepage was designed for you, the frequent users of the LED Light Site, and we believe it makes the web site easier to navigate while incorporating more contemporary messaging delivered through expanded use of video learning tools.
 
Take a look around and check out the featured video player with the first few episodes of the LED Lighting News.

"Internal Thermal Resistance,"  "Colorimetry," and "Driving LEDs - Resistors and Linear Drivers" are the latest additions to the LED Fundamentals series.

 

"Internal Thermal Resistance" investigates the definition and significance of internal thermal resistance in LED packages, the path of heat transfer in some OSRAM LED packages and the calculation of the junction temperature in LEDs.

 

"Colorimetry" explores how the eye perceives color and discusses several metrics which describe color.

"Driving LEDs - Resistors and Linear Drivers" examines simple based current regulation for LED systems and the use of linear drivers to regulate current in an LED system.
