| Manufacturing LEDs on large diameter substrates: What’s the holdup? (MAGAZINE) |
| A transition to 6- or 8-in wafers will ultimately deliver lower-cost LEDs, although as Marcus Weddle discusses, the industry must overcome technical and logistical challenges. |
| Fixed-frequency and quasi-resonant flyback controllers drive large LED strings (MAGAZINE)
|
| Fred Sawyer and Mladen Ivankovic explain how to drive large LED strings, including RGB implementations, for high-lumen-output applications.

| Understand color science to maximize success with LEDs – part 4 (MAGAZINE) |
| Color rendering, or how color appears when illuminated by a light source, is crucial in the performance of SSL systems, explains GEORGE KELLY, and in the fourth part of our series on color science we will cover how LED and SSL architecture impacts lit objects. |
| SSL Technology Update: February 25, 2013 |
| In this week's update: Editor-in-Chief Maury Wright interviews several companies at the Strategies in Light show, including Indice, Intematix, Osram and Cree. |
| MHA Lighting takes unique approach to LED fixture design with Rods with Holes technology (MAGAZINE) |
| A UK-based LED lighting manufacturer is using a unique light-waveguide approach in which LED light is shone sideways into acrylic rods. In turn, these light-emitting rods provide a uniform light distribution, explains Tim Whitaker. |
| SSL Technology Update: February 13, 2013 |
| In this week's update: OLED lighting news; Lighting Europe organization makes progress in developing an organizational structure; and new planar lighting applications from GLT. |
| Varying approaches to LED retrofit lamps show no limit (MAGAZINE) |
| After the incandescent lamp changed little in more than a hundred years, emerging SSL lamps show remarkably diverse approaches in attempts to replace the incumbent, reports MAURY WRIGHT.
|
| Energy Efficiency Financing scheme lights up the path to green savings (MAGAZINE) |
| A UK-based financing scheme provides funds to cover the upfront cost of lighting equipment, with repayments aligned with energy-bill savings, as Darren Riva explains. |
| ANSI works to standardize LED datasheet for white LEDs (MAGAZINE) |
| Jianzhong Jiao reports that the ANSI standards body hopes to facilitate the communications of pertinent component characteristics between LED manufacturers and SSL product developers. |
| Zhaga helps SSL luminaire makers reduce costs and supply-chain risks (MAGAZINE) |
| Zhaga Consortium General Secretary Menno Treffers explains that vendor-interoperable light engines will allow companies to support broader LED-lighting portfolios with more features. |
| Focus on SSL modules (MAGAZINE) |
| This compilation includes both proprietary modular products and ones built to the new Zhaga standards that allow for interoperability of light engines, drivers, optics, and other components from multiple vendors. |
| SSL Technology Update: February 5, 2013 |
| In this week's update: Major players in the LED space announce earnings; TE Connectivity has a new power-distribution scheme; Escalating efficacy is showing up in luminaries with new troffers hitting 130 lm/W. |
