LED Driver Types, Constant Current vs. Constant Voltage
LED driver types, Constant Current vs. Constant Voltage First, let's talk about what is the LED drive power? It can convert the power supply to a specific voltage and current to drive the LED voltage converter. Generally, the input of the LED drive power supply includes high-voltage power frequency AC (ie, commercial power), low-voltage DC, high-voltage DC, low-voltage high-frequency AC (Such as the output of an electronic transformer).

The function settings you need know about the motion sensor
1 Tri-level Control (Corridor Function) This function inside the motion sensor to achieve tri-level control, for some areas which require a light change notice before switch-off. The sensor offers 3 levels of light: 100%-->dimmed light (natural light is insufficient) -->off; and 2 periods of selectable waiting time: motion hold-time and stand-by period; Selectable daylight threshold and freedom of detection area. Zero-cross Relay Operation Designed in the [...]

How many types of sensor that you should know?
The first motion sensor was invented in the year 1950 by Samuel Bango named as a burglar alarm. He applied the basics of a radar to ultrasonic waves – a frequency to notice fire or robber and that which human beings cannot listen to. The Samuel motion sensor is based on the principle of “Doppler Effect”. Currently, most of the motion sensors work on the principle of Samuel Bango’s detector. Microwave [...]
What Is EPA(Effective Projected Area)
Today’s subject, while a little technical, is nonetheless very relevant when it comes to outdoor lighting, and most particularly to the structural aspect of it. The concept in question is what we call Effective Projected Area (EPA) and its wind force on objects. Firstly, let us precise that EPA is one of the basic principles for the structural engineering process in outdoor lighting and other mechanical engineering fields as [...]
