July 2012
Welcome to our July LED Customer Newsletter! We are delighted to announce the release of our latest 150W and 200W LED Power Supply platforms. These products offer the lowest profile and the highest efficiencies available in the market today, are IP67 rated for harsh environment operation and all come with the industry leading 5 year warranty. In this Newsletter, we also highlight one of the latest Whitepapers from our Applications Engineering Department on the topic of Dimming controls of LED's where we look at the advantages and disadvantages of the main methods of LED dimming control. The important and challenging area of Input Line Harmonics and its influence on system design and power supply selection are discussed in the application note Regulation of Harmonics for electrical systems.
Your feedback on our newsletters is always welcome. Please feel free to contact us with your comments, opinions and suggestions for specific future feature topics.

Whitepaper: Dimming control of LED's | |
Many solid-state lighting applications require control over the emitted intensity of light for both functional and aesthetic requirements. Some of these applications
also require a full dimming capability from fully on to fully off.
This paper looks at the two main methods for implementing these and discusses the advantages of such approaches.

Application Note: Regulation of Harmonics | |
|
Ideally, an electricity supply should show a perfectly sinusoidal voltage signal at every customer location.
However, utilities often find it hard to preserve such desirable conditions for a number of reasons. The deviation of the voltage and current waveforms from sinusoidal is described in terms of the waveform distortion, often referred to as harmonic distortion.
