LED Lighting Explained

hwilliams@scu.edu (Engineering 1 Student) — Tue, 14 May 2013 13:45:47 PST

LED lighting is frequently discussed as a key element of the green and sustainable lighting solution that will lead to significant savings in energy usage. Its adoption is spreading as standards proliferate and costs come down; but there is still a significant gap in the understanding of the potential and reality.

This workshop is intended to help fill that gap by providing an overview of the technology and applications. Manufacturing, reliability, and thermal management, etc will be discussed. There will be demos and hands-on exhibits that attendees may explore during the break.

Organized by: IEEE Santa Clara Valley CPMT Society Chapter Workshop

Instructors: Rudi Hechfellner, Dr. Michiel Krueger, Seng-Hup Teoh, Philips Lumileds Lighting Company

Date: Wednesday, May 15, 2013

Location: On the campus of Cogswell College - 1195 Bordeaux Drive, Sunnyvale 94089
