LED toolbox - DVD-ROM (Boîte)

Once they used to just trundle along in the half shadows, but nowadays LEDs are no longer confined to the rote of indicator lights. Now they are shining forth in an extraordinary boom. Their principal qualities are still robustness, power, reliability, compactness, etc. However, they corne in such a plethora of varieties, it's not easy either to select them, or to use them. Following the principle of Elektor's TOOLBOX* series, this DVD-ROM contains carefully-sorted comprehensive technical documentation (optical properties, electrical characteristics, mounting, life expectancy, etc.) about and around LEDs.
For standard models (through-hole, SMD), and fora selection of LED modules (ribbons, light bars, bargraphs, and other LED clusters), this TOOLBOX gathers together data sheets from all the manufacturers, application notes, design guides, white papers and so on. It offers several hundred drivers for powering and controlling LEDs in different configurations (buck, boost, charge pump, constant current, and so on), along with ready-to-use modules (power supply units, DMX controllers, dimmers, etc.).
In addition to optical systems, light detectors, hardware, etc., this DVD also addresses the main shortcoming of power LEDs: heating. Ail of the documents are PDF files. Browsing around the DVD is made easy by an HTML menu.
