Recenzje

"LED lamps are quickly replacing conventional lighting and are also enabling many new applications such as vertical indoor agriculture, medical uses for skin therapy, display technologies, digital communication, and entertainment. This book examine many new lighting applications enabled by LED technology along with details on LED fabrication, LED design and construction, spectral properties, and an introduction to luminance and color rendering. While mainly intended for engineers and those with a technical background, anyone wanting to learn more about the applications of LEDs in the lighting industry and the limitations for LEDs would find this book interesting. There are also an extensive number of references in each chapter for more in-depth study." --IEEE
