Workshop addresses LED challenges
Solid-state lighting is as much about the surrounding electronic-power-control circuitry, thermal management, and optics as it is about the basic LED devices.

The US Department of Energy recently invested $6.4 million in LED design to encourage innovation in solid-state lighting (see "US Department of Energy invests $6.4M in LED design"). But solid-state lighting is as much about the surrounding electronic-power-control circuitry, thermal management, and optics as it is about the basic LED devices. EDN is hosting a free "Designing with LEDs" workshop on Oct 6 at the Westin Lombard hotel near Chicago. The workshop will focus on the electronic-circuit, thermal, and optical-design challenges of designing with solid-state lighting, as well as other LED-based lighting applications.
