Over the past decade, LEDs have proliferated across countless application areas and all market segments. As the LED market has achieved economies of scale, applications once dominated by traditional incandescent lighting are now leveraging many key characteristics of LED technology — high efficiency, high brightness, precise light control, a rich array of colors, and unique form factors combined with new optics. The rise time of LED lighting is twice that of incandescent sources, and LEDs consume less power than incandescent lamps, delivering significant advantages in energy consumption.

Advances in LEDs and their drivers have enabled applications that were traditionally impossible and helped address emerging market demands. Industrial and stage lighting provides high-contrast, bright, and colorful systems to illuminate stages. Horticultural lighting uses highly efficient designs across various spectral ranges to effectively cultivate high-yield plants. Machine vision systems require sophisticated camera systems employing infrared or HB LEDs. IoT lighting creates smart, well-lit applications that bring comfort and convenience to users. These are just a few examples of applications that require pairing LEDs with LED drivers. As the electronic devices that operate LEDs, LED drivers play a critical role in maintaining and enhancing the inherent clarity, speed, and efficiency of LEDs.
