"High-brightness (HB) LEDs save power, reduce space, and shape light into unlimited colors and places. New HB LED devices, packages, control electronics and thermal devices combine to revolutionize lighting for consumer and medical devices, automotive, architectural, and signage applications. Our workshop will provide unparalleled connections to LED manufacturers, developers, education and networking opportunities." The hands-on workshop was created for design engineers and systems architects who need to learn and explore drive and control electronics, optics, and thermal management options for the newest generation of solid-state illumination components. The workshop classes will provide education and training on design considerations for the power drive stage, thermal management options, and secondary optics of LED lighting, including: LED system reliability, de-rating capacitors, dimming considerations, efficiency in drive stages and power factor correction, government and industry guidelines and regulations, selecting secondary optics, and system communication and networking. Key workshop highlights:
