Bringing LED Control Into the Digital Age

To use an LED in a lighting fixture, the LED must produce much more light than the typical surface-mount LED most engineers are familiar with. From a design perspective, one of the key ways high-brightness LEDs differ from their low-light counterparts is that they draw more power and, therefore, require a more advanced control system.
