Welcome to the ERP Lighting Blog, which puts you at the forefront of topics from dimming, efficiency, and programming to much, much more.
Forward phase dimming is the most common dimming method used in the U.S., with over 150 million controllers in current operation. While it is surpassed by reverse phase dimming in some ways, it still has many important benefits, which include. ...Read More
Because LED light output is proportional to the current, it's possible to dim LED lights,Êprovided that the dimming system used is compatible with the LED driver, excellent LED dimming performance is achievable. ...Read More
Managing the flow of power and keeping it constant is critical, which is why most LED arrays use LED controllers or drivers. The question is:Êhow do you determine the best choice for your application? ...Read More
LED lights offer many benefits. They are economical, efficient, don't flicker, and there's no delay when switching on. Light output is easily varied using a LED dimming driver. While notÊinitially the cheapest option, the long-life expectancy and low energy consumption means LED lights are more economicalÊin the long run. ...Read More
One of the most important aspects of specifying LED lighting is to verify LED driver compatibility. There are over a dozen major LED manufacturers plus many smaller suppliers and each has its own requirements. Additionally, there's the need to consider the range of potential driver configurations, AC supply voltage, the number of LEDs controlled by each driver, and whether to include the ability to dim LEDs. ...Read More

In the world of electronics, a light-emitting diode (LED) is one of most ubiquitous components available to the consumer. The simplest ones provide energy in a simple circuit for such low-power end uses as indicator lights. High-power LED circuits, on the other hand, are used to drive a variety of more sophisticated and energy-intensive applications such as outdoor flood lights, street lamps and billboards. Here are a few things to know about them. ...Read More
Adjustable power supplies are eminently affordable in terms of both initial purchase price and subsequent operating costs. The best ones provide a combination of low component count for low cost with high-efficiency for low power consumption and high power density to maintain a small size. In addition, programmable power supplies can drive multiple lighting fixtures thus lowering inventory costs. ...Read More
All LED drivers fill the role of regulating the power supply leading to a string or strings of LEDs. ÊAÊhigh power LED driver is important when LEDs ÊrequireÊlarger amounts of power for applications including automotive use, grow lights, flashlights and/or emergency lighting. ÊLED drivers can be used to dim the LEDs they power and vary in design, depending on whether they will be used with an AC or DC input power source. The ideal driver will maximize the efficiency of the entire circuit and should be extremely reliable. ...Read More
In recent years, LED lighting technology has exploded, bringing with it a surge in the number of useful applications. Today's LEDs can be used to fill virtually any type of indoor or outdoor lighting need and have increased the efficiency within automobiles. Unique and novel ideas of utilizing LEDs includeÊapplications such as wallpaper that allows the color of a room to be changed with the flick of a switch, office ceiling panels that mimic the appearance of the open sky, and decorative lighting strips that can enhance the appearance of any location.Ê ...Read More
