Design and Fabrication of LED Navigation Lights

Monitoring LED Lights with Current Signatures

Artificial lighting is a pervasive element in our daily lives. Researchers from different communities are investigating challenges and opportunities related to artificial lighting but from different angles: energy disaggregation, to monitor the status of light bulbs in buildings; and communication, to transmit information wirelessly. We argue that there is an unexplored synergy between these tw...

When the Lights Go Out: LED Failure Modes and Mechanisms

Review of Dimming Techniques for Solid-State LED Lights

LEDs lights have numerous advantages as compared to conventional lighting sources and are becoming popular these days. Depending upon the application requirement brightness of the LEDs needs to be controlled. The brightness is controlled by controlling the forward current flowing through the LED. In this paper, different techniques used for dimming the brightness of LED lamps are reviewed. DC-D...

Model predicting discomfort glare caused by LED road lights.

To model discomfort glare from LED road lighting, the effect of four key variables on perceived glare was explored. These variables were: the average glare source luminance (Lg), the background luminance (Lb), the solid angle of the glare source from the perspective of the viewer (ω) and the angle between the glare source and the line of sight (θ). Based on these four variables 72 different lig...
