Colour harmony plays an important role in fine arts, architecture and design. But it can be also important to describe the quality of light sources: the distortion of perceived colour harmony of a set of colour samples under a light source can be a relevant factor by ranking the perceived colour quality of different light sources. In an earlier experimental study[1], we came to the conclusion t...

In this study, we propose an indoor navigation system that utilizes visible light communication technology, which employs LED lights and a geomagnetic correction method, aimed at supporting visually impaired people who travel indoors. To verify the effectiveness of this system, we conducted an experiment targeting visually impaired people. Although acquiring accurate positional information and ...

While LEDs themselves are extremely reliable and have a long lifetime, are electronic LED drivers capable of providing the required current/voltage input to the LEDs over their whole lifetime? This paper aims to address the above question in general and for the Xitanium family of LED drivers developed by Philips Lighting specifically. It will describe some of the strategies which Philips applie...

— In order to have drinking water, some countries have to use chlorine. It is use cause is effective and it's cheap. An alternative to this process is the UV disinfection of drinking water. Most of the devices in the market use UV bulbs or mercury lamps. The UV LED, which is cheaper and smaller, allows creating new smaller devices. The main contribution of this paper is the use of Genetic Algor...

Description: The goal is to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of solar power through the integration of PV, Li-battery, and LED lighting technologies. Since all components are in the form of thin films, the PV/battery/LED system can be integrated as a single module. Since half of the materials cost of each device is the substrate, integrated module will also reduce materials costs and...

LED lighting has the potential to offer many benefits to the user and to society as a whole. Very high efficiency together with extremely long life expectancy of the LEDs reduces the energy consumption and the use of resources, and can offer low lifecycle cost. In order to become widely accepted, LED lighting must provide dimming capability at least equivalent to that offered by traditional inc...
