„Readers will find practical treatment of specific LEDsystem design from flashlight to light bulb; measurement of LEDpower, efficiency, and operating characteristics; accelerated lifetesting; computer modeling of LED systems; driver circuitry; andthermal management.“ (Electrical Apparatus, 1August 2012)„LEDs are poised to revolutionize the way we light our world, fromthe flashiest lights on the Las Vegas strip, to the Shanghaiskyline, to the poorest villages with no electric grid connection. Ron and Carol present a great overview of the LED technology at theheart of these new lighting systems, and the thorough review of theconsiderations that every engineer should know before applying thistechnology to the myriad of the $100B of lighting applications inour world.“

This book covers all of the information needed to design LEDs intoend-products. It is a practical guide, primarily explaininghow things are done by practicing engineers. Equations areused only for practical calculations, and are kept to the level ofhigh-school algebra. There are numerous drawings andschematics showing how things such as measurements are actuallymade, and showing curcuits that actually work. There arepractical notes and examples embedded in the text that givepointers and how-to guides on many of the book's topics. After reading each chapter of the book, readers will have theknowledge to implement practical designs. This book will bekept as a reference tool for years to come.
