The 3-Channel combines high output and efficiency of the existing Monarch with spectral flexibility. <br /><br />With the Monarch, it was already possible to fluctuate the intensity throughout the day. This allows growers to use the power of the sun, but to avoid hours when electricity prices are high.<br /><br />With dynamic lighting, Oreon intends to respond to the need for different colors of light during the day or throughout the seasons. Whether it's adding far-red or increasing white light intensity, there are many possibilities.<br /><br />The Monarch 3-Channel has a maximum input of 1260W. This power is variably distributed to 1, 2 or 3 channels. The main channel can convert a maximum of 1260W into light, the other two channels each have a maximum output of 140W. The spectrum of all channels can be determined by growers and each channel can be dimmed individually.<br /><br />The 3-Channel is controllable via the Oreon LED Control Center (OLCC™) and operates based on the industry-developed Horti Lighting Protocol (HLP). This combination controls lighting with unparalleled precision. A proven Bluetooth SIG MESH network dynamically controls all lights in the greenhouse with infinite grouping options. This allows response to fluctuating lighting needs and energy rates. The OLCC also provides information on each individual lamp, such as temperature, voltage, and power consumption.<p></p>blognewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12670057475929109413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533837839506314764.post-49713547053975488572024-03-21T00:30:00.000+01:002024-03-21T00:30:00.324+01:00RGB LED Disco Ball Reacts To Sound And Color<iframe width="599" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KRtyjE7GhiI" title="I Created World's Smartest DIY Disco Ball" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe><p>Although disco music and dancing may be long dead, the disco ball lives on as a staple of dance parties everywhere.

In a new study, published in the Journal of Biomedical Optics, a research team turns to near-infrared light (NIR) measurements to estimate BGL.<br /><br />The team <a href="https://www.laboratoryequipment.com/611483-NIR-Light-in-Smartwatches-Could-Provide-Noninvasive-Blood-Glucose-Monitoring/">began</a> by extracting oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) and deoxyhemoglobin (Hb) signals from NIR measurements. By analyzing this data, they determined that the phase delay between the low-frequency and oscillating components of HbO2 and Hb signals are closely linked to the degree of oxygen consumption during each cardiac cycle—an important metabolism indicator.<br /><br />To test their newfound metabolic index, researchers placed an NIR sensor from a smartwatch over the finger of healthy participants at rest. The participants then consumed different sugary and sugar-free beverages, allowing the team to measure blood glucose changes. Excitingly, the changes in metabolic index matched variations in blood glucose as measured by a commercial continuous glucose monitor.<p></p>blognewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12670057475929109413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533837839506314764.post-21513502771771125372024-03-20T01:30:00.000+01:002024-03-20T01:30:00.181+01:00MICLEDI Microdisplays Raises Series A Funding to Advance Best-in-Class microLED Display Design and Manufacturing<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyjDaV1qwW_fa9Qq1FuOiEo-3mhpb1py1-MEy1U7s93lf4R83yB1lENRtdur3_ynLi2BCsMPtOEo3WG6eAgefa0YquKwhJ-ry8WMgg5m8Y-53nFHQTHMHsfWDqFBKH9MeTQUMR5CT7LnLxvzGG_qPugZ0wO79q-HDwjOVQuaoxVkKlNq1XUgGpdrH4f0g/s2561/1710385898_62559.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1908" data-original-width="2561" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyjDaV1qwW_fa9Qq1FuOiEo-3mhpb1py1-MEy1U7s93lf4R83yB1lENRtdur3_ynLi2BCsMPtOEo3WG6eAgefa0YquKwhJ-ry8WMgg5m8Y-53nFHQTHMHsfWDqFBKH9MeTQUMR5CT7LnLxvzGG_qPugZ0wO79q-HDwjOVQuaoxVkKlNq1XUgGpdrH4f0g/s320/1710385898_62559.png" width="320" /></a></div>MICLEDI Microdisplays <a href="https://www.ledinside.com/node/34093">announced</a> a first closing of its Series A funding round with participation from imec.xpand, PMV, imec, KBC and SFPIM demonstrating strong support for the company’s value proposition and commercial and technological progress achieved in the seed round.

The company is taking a significant step forward with this new generation, particularly in terms of cost efficiency: The new architecture delivers excellent light output at much lower cost compared to the previous generation. At the same time, the ECE-compliant platform for LED signal lamps has standardized interfaces to the luminaire.<br /><br />XLS (eXchangable LED Signal lamp) is an ECE-compliant platform with more than five different light sources, covering all the important signal applications in vehicles. This reduces complexity and overall costs for car manufacturers and leads to faster development processes thanks to adapted standards. Even workshop mechanics and drivers can easily replace the lamps in the event of a fault, resulting in lower repair costs and greater road safety. XLS is therefore a pioneer for broad LED penetration in high-volume vehicle segments.<br /><br />In its third generation the XLS portfolio has been expanded to include cost-effective products for use in modern vehicle architectures. The right XLS Gen3 light source with the right light color and the right brightness is available for every signal light application. The light sources meet all the required ECE standards. In total, the family offers three different lighting solutions in yellow and white. A red version is planned for 2024. This color flexibility enables vehicle manufacturers to equip all signal applications with LED signal light sources from the XLS family.<p></p>blognewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12670057475929109413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533837839506314764.post-29981178251216683402024-03-18T01:00:00.000+01:002024-03-18T01:00:00.185+01:00Nichia will exhibit at LEDucation 2024 in New York City, NY<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbsVIAdeEmBtbCr7_ZXL3g4-GXaha_2LEztpvK1lkiMLwyrZUp7IBaz_AGLneGNbFfQPdrqu0HfHkLPECAhU0ybgU1M87lM1UljMTFCsBDWMlTPDCP_9ljo4wKdSA5wDIQMhgPYHALB-tj9BMwtCDyV-6RwIwS_EqTVaczxN81As_vcrRKKCMtrPiMWXs/s1280/nyc-4854718_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="748" data-original-width="1280" height="187" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbsVIAdeEmBtbCr7_ZXL3g4-GXaha_2LEztpvK1lkiMLwyrZUp7IBaz_AGLneGNbFfQPdrqu0HfHkLPECAhU0ybgU1M87lM1UljMTFCsBDWMlTPDCP_9ljo4wKdSA5wDIQMhgPYHALB-tj9BMwtCDyV-6RwIwS_EqTVaczxN81As_vcrRKKCMtrPiMWXs/s320/nyc-4854718_1280.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>On March 19th and 20th, Nichia will <a href="https://www.nichia.co.jp/en/newsroom/2024/2024_031301.html">exhibit</a> at LEDucation in New York City, NY.

The Sanctuary, which is approximately one-half the size of New Jersey and is located within an area commonly referred to as the Oregon Outback, has committed to protect its starry night skies for the benefit of visitors, residents, and wildlife.<br /><br />A Dark Sky Sanctuary is a certification given by the DarkSky International to public or private land that has an exceptional or distinguished quality of starry nights and a nocturnal environment that is protected for its scientific, natural, or educational value, its cultural heritage, and/or public enjoyment. To qualify as a Dark Sky Sanctuary, the area must meet strict criteria for sky quality, commit to protecting the night sky through responsible lighting practices, and provide public outreach. These sanctuaries provide opportunities for stargazing, astrophotography, and other nighttime activities that benefit from minimal light pollution.<br /><br />The Outback is located within the largest, contiguous, pristine dark sky zone in the lower 48 states, and this certification helps to protect a large portion of the designated zone. Within the Oregon Outback International Dark Sky Sanctuary (OOIDSS) are the unincorporated communities of Adel, Plush, and Summer Lake, the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, a portion of the Fremont-Winema National Forest, nearly 1.7 million acres of land managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Summer Lake Wildlife Area, nearly 80,000 acres of state-owned rangeland, and the Oregon Outback Scenic Byway.<br /><br />The intentions behind pursuing a large-scale sanctuary are to protect much of the unique, pristine, dark sky zone, to keep any additional dark sky recreation dispersed (as it is now), to allow a number of incorporated gateway communities to economically benefit from the same project, and to more effectively and efficiently manage a certification within a remote area. <br /><p></p>blognewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12670057475929109413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533837839506314764.post-55800351482602998422024-03-13T00:30:00.000+01:002024-03-13T00:30:00.156+01:00Automotive-Compliant, Three-Channel, Linear LED Driver from Diodes Incorporated Provides Independent Controls for Brightness and Color<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwu7rmZr4hqiU7Wq_l_CKI96WRK5cwQ-yISDCuURPB30fjRMhyphenhyphenVjVYkk3NFw9UAENwjIWo-OCeSFRp3ijCN7jonSJWHOapLFDjYBkRCpXeDC1WUPBYkvqIL_pRP-3eF9FJK5o0agasQ2PuWFWMUJZF2cngRjgooDSYtX7wVrbXpJJ5MDej9jRjwLLMeo0/s408/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%205.00.56%E2%80%AFPM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="330" data-original-width="408" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwu7rmZr4hqiU7Wq_l_CKI96WRK5cwQ-yISDCuURPB30fjRMhyphenhyphenVjVYkk3NFw9UAENwjIWo-OCeSFRp3ijCN7jonSJWHOapLFDjYBkRCpXeDC1WUPBYkvqIL_pRP-3eF9FJK5o0agasQ2PuWFWMUJZF2cngRjgooDSYtX7wVrbXpJJ5MDej9jRjwLLMeo0/s320/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%205.00.56%E2%80%AFPM.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/automotive-compliant-three-channel-linear-151400769.html">releases</a> a new automotive-compliant linear LED driver that enables users to independently control the brightness and color of its three channels.<br /><br />Human-centric automotive design is driving the demand for multi-channel LED drivers, which allow vehicle occupants to easily change interior lighting colors to match their mood. By simultaneously enabling animated turning-indicator signals and exterior grill lighting for different road conditions, these drivers help increase safety levels. The AL1783Q driver has LED current settings by an external REF pin, independent dimming controls for each channel, and pulse width modulation (PWM) to perform LED dimming. It is well-suited for multiple interior and exterior lighting applications in electric vehicles (EV) and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.<br /><br />The automotive industry is trending towards using higher voltage rails to power vehicle subsystems and this has seen battery voltages increasing from 12V and 24V to 48V. In response to this development, the AL1783Q has been designed to operate from a 55V rail, providing it with an advantage over other LED drivers which typically only operate up to 40V. This feature also enables the AL1783Q to support increasing LED chain voltages.<br /><br />Another advantage of this driver is that it delivers up to 66% more current per channel (250mA compared with a standard 150mA), enabling greater flexibility to support higher LED current ranges in a wider range of lighting applications. For additional flexibility, the current in each of the three channels can be set using individual resistors.<br /><br />Thermal robustness is an important consideration when designing with linear LED drivers and, for this reason, the AL1783Q is housed in a thermally efficient TSSOP-16EP package that has an exposed cooling pad for superior heat dissipation. For added system level reliability, the AL1783Q has multiple fault detection features including undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and overvoltage protection (OVP), as well as the ability to detect LED open and short circuit conditions.<br /><br />The AL1783Q is automotive compliant* — qualified to AEC-Q100, manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities, and supporting PPAP documentation. Supplied in the space-saving TSSOP-16EP (5.1mm x 6.6mm) package, the AL1783Q is available at $0.43 in 2,500 piece quantities.<p></p>blognewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12670057475929109413noreply@blogger.com0
