Infrared LEDs have been around for over half a century and have been put to use in myriad applications since their development. Before we take a look at some of these uses, though, here are some fun ...

Many devices use infrared (IR) as a signalling medium like, for example, RGB LED strip controllers modules and some TV controllers. Often times these signals aren’t meant for secure applications which ...

Infrared spectrometers are expensive and powerful instruments scientists use to analyze the chemical makeup of a sample, and a new research project has demonstrated what this technology might look ...

Rohm Semiconductor has extended its PICOLED family with the launch of the CSL1501RW ultra-compact side-emitting (side view) infrared LED (IR LED). Target applications include head-mounted displays, ...

This color smart bulb enhances the night vision of your security cameras through infrared LEDs, even when it’s turned off. LIFX has taken its top-notch Wi-Fi color LED smart bulb and added a terrific ...

The Shark CryoGlow boasts a range of features that differentiate it from other LED masks on the market, from an integrated cooling under-eye treatment to its four preset modes and easy-to-use remote.

Debuting as the first member of a family of infrared (IR) emitters, the OD-850W gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) LED features a wide-emission angle and an optical output of 40 mW at 100 mA with a ...

Scientists have discovered how to electrically power insulating nanoparticles using organic molecules that act like tiny antennas. These hybrids generate extremely pure near-infrared light, ideal for ...

Scientists have discovered a potentially promising infrared LED and infrared detector component. This compound -- composed of calcium, silicon and oxygen -- is cheap to produce and non-toxic. Many of ...

Compared to incandescent lightbulbs, LEDs produce a lot more lumens per watt of input power — they’re more efficient at producing light. Of course, that means that incandescent light bulbs are more ...
