The National Research Council (NRC) appoints a committee and conducts a study of the status of advanced solid state lighting (SSL). The report considered the basic science and engineering needed to ...

Complete solid-state lighting (SSL) solutions require technical expertise in myriad technologies — several distinct, high-level areas are easily identified (see Fig. 1). Knowledge in one area can be ...

Supertex introduced HV9973—a patented, isolated, constant current LED driver for use in high voltage solid-state lighting applications such as incandescent bulb retrofits. The IC achieves +/-3% ...

The pace of innovation is sometimes so swift that technologies that emerged a decade or so ago are now fixtures of daily life. Take light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for example. A January 2012 U.S.
