It can also work as a light alarm clock, gently brightening rather than suddenly flashing on at full strength. The app is more basic than some, though there is an Apple Watch app as well for extra control options, but the price is pretty good. The design can be divisive, so you might want to put it in a place where the bulb itself isn’t fully visible.

As one enabling component manufacturer said, the ability to do business with other exhibitors is critical. Companies can see dozens of potential customers without traversing the globe. Indeed, that’s why some exhibitors like the Sunday start with sparse crowds outside the staffs in the exhibits. Let’s discuss the ten most compelling themes, trends, and demonstrations we found at the massive Frankfurt Fair.

Simply offering LEDs in a Level 2 or modular form factor is one way for Bridgelux to increases its revenue share. And the two-channel products further target relatively more-expensive tunable products. At L+B, Bridgelux introduced two-channel drivers designed to work with its COB LEDs and light engines.
