Although LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) were discovered in 1900s, they have been semiconductor materials widely used in lighting industry due to its structure developed in recent years. LEDs are preferred for their advantages such as energy saving, long life, durability, usability for both indoor and outdoor applications. Optimum conditions should be provided for LED in order to benefit from LED lighting in a sufficient manner. Therefore, in this study, we numerically and experimentally focused the factors affecting operation and efficiency of LED drivers such as driving current, drooping and auger effects, luminance efficiency and LED temperature. These factors have crucial importance on operation efficiency of LED driver circuits. Also, we experimentally designed three different current limited buck type Power LED driver circuits; (i) using a balast resistor, (ii) LM317 regulator, (iii) switching regulator by MC34063A..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
