    OVERVIEW:

    LED light sources offer numerous potential advantages for illumination applications. However, without proper consideration of the many crucial factors affecting the long-term performance of LED luminaires in lighting applications, the design effort can be wasted.

    This webcast explores the essential considerations and requirements when designing LED-based luminaires, so that the end product can match customers’ expectations for solid-state lighting technology. The presenter, Scott Riesebosch, is president of CRS Electronics, a Canadian company with over 10 years experience in manufacturing LED-based light engines, optics and thermal management solutions.
