Power Integrations offers a broad range of highly integrated high-voltage ICs for use in LED lighting applications where designers require offline power supplies at universal input line cord voltages—85 VAC to 265 VAC.
LED lamps offer extraordinary advantages over other lighting modes:
- Low energy consumption
- Long life
- Low maintenance
- Resistance to shocks and vibrations
- Generation of pure coloured light
- Small size
LED lighting has become a desirable alternative to incandescent and fluorescent lighting due to rising energy costs, stricter and more pervasive energy regulations worldwide, and the improvement in the lumens per watt of high brightness LEDs.
