LED Secondary Optics: All you need to know
An LED’s primary optic only tends to emit directional light at 120°, but this is not suitable for all applications, and therefore can cause the LED light to lack intensity over distance. To get an LED...

DALI is a common industry term in LED lighting and power controls, and a recognised global standard (IEC 62386) for lighting control. It stands for Digital Addressable Lighting Interface and refers to a 2-way communication system...
Surge protection devices (SPDs) work to safeguard your electronics by protecting them against sudden and unwanted power surges. For many electronic devices, even a tiny spike in voltage can damage them and become a safety hazard. ...
LED optics are a terrific way to direct, diffuse or intensify light. They are readily available in a wide array of sizes, shapes, and materials. This variety of choice means that lenses are versatile and useful...
Intelligent LED Pixels are a cost-effective and creative way to play with lighting design. Commonly used for DYI maker projects to create some cool effects in applications like gaming peripherals, ambient TV backlighting, under-counter lighting, and...
IP rating is something commonly encountered when looking at finished lighting products. For some applications it is a vital to know and acquiring a light fitting with the correct rating is paramount. (more…)
LEDs convert electrical power into light output. During this process, heat is released as a byproduct. The primary cause of LED failure is often poor thermal management. Thus, any application utilising LEDs will need to consider...
What is Infrared? Infrared (IR) is a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths outside of the visible light spectrum. It was discovered in 1800 by William Herschel, who conducted experiments measuring the difference in temperature between...
