More than anyone else, people in nursing homes struggle to find high-quality sleep, which is especially disheartening because we know that elderly people are more susceptible to health issues, which poor sleep can exacerbate. While this is a complex issue, there is a good deal that we can do about it because we understand how […]
When it comes to advancements in lighting solutions, Human Centric Lighting applications are driving innovation at LEDdynamics. Through technological refinements, the maximum levels of energy savings from LEDs have been mostly achieved across the industry. Now, for the team at LEDdynamics, our R&D has shifted to PERFEKTLIGHT. PERFEKTLIGHT is an emerging, patent-pending technology that tunes […]
I. What Are CRI and CQS? Light is all around us – except when it isn’t. That is when we notice it most, of course, realizing that it was only because of light that we could perceive any of the colors of our environment. But did you know that there are specific ways to measure […]
According to the US Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, white tunable lighting is “the ability to control a light source’s color temperature output.” Manufacturers have achieved this innovation by combining LEDs of different color temperatures into single bulbs or strips. By controlling the LEDs inside the bulb or on the strip, you can […]
The popularity of tunable white LED lighting is a lasting trend. Aside from its obvious improvements for lighting options, it also stands to make a positive impact on our overall health and well-being. Specifically, studies on Circadian Rhythm are proving how important the timing of specific correlated color temperatures (CCT) are during a daily cycle, […]
LEDdynamics, Inc. powers LEDs. In 2001 LED drivers like the MicroPuck, PowerPuck and BuckPuck emerged into the LED industry helping to increase the efficiency of LEDs. LED manufacturers, at the time, were so focused on increasing light output that efficiency was all but ignored. Before LEDdynamics, the approach to powering LEDs was as if you […]
What are LEDs? LEDs, or Light Emitting Diodes (a diode is a device that only allows electricity to flow through it in one direction, which is why LEDs have a positive (+) side and a negative (-) side) are silicon wafers that emit photons (light) when an electrical current passes through it. What is […]
What is Thermal Runaway? All semiconductors, including LEDs, generate heat as a by-product of their operation. The more electrical current the device uses, the greater the amount of heat that needs to be dissipated. Provided there is adequate thermal management, the device will not exceed its maximum operating temperature. If the provisions to remove heat […]
