Glamox has won the contract to light four autonomous-ready ferries, which are expected to be the first in the world to operate independently, without human intervention.

With Polar Light Technologies novel concept, based on a non-etching bottom-up approach, red light at 625nm has been achieved. By this breakthrough, Polar Light Technologies have reached red, green, and blue pyramidal microLEDs employing the same material system.

Würth Elektronik expands its range of WL-ICLEDs – RGB-LEDs with integrated controller (IC) – to include dual-wire ICLEDs. The components are addressable as pixels and consist of a red, green, and blue LED, as well as a pre-programmed IC in one package.

At CES 2025 Inova Semiconductors will be demonstrating its path towards software-defined lighting (SDL) and, in the next step, software-defined vehicles (SDV).

Diodes Incorporated has announced the expansion of its automotive-compliant LED driver portfolio by introducing the AL8891Q.

Diodes Incorporated introduces a new 36-channel automotive-compliant* linear LED current driver. The AL5887Q, with its ability to drive RGB configurations as well as individual LEDs, addresses the need for OEMs to differentiate their brands by enabling designers to create different animated lighting patterns and colour depths for interior and exterior lamps.

Würth Elektronik expands its LED product series WL-SMCW and WL-SMCC with white LEDs in 0603 and 0402 packages. These compact and highly efficient LEDs now allow white signals, front or backlighting to be achieved – without the need for a combination of red, green, and blue – which come very close to the white point in the colour coordinate system. 

Melexis has announced that Geely Automotive Group has chosen to use Melexis devices and MeLiBu technology for the advanced daytime running lights (DRLs), as well as the RGB LED taillight with full-colour lighting in the new Z10 model, the first EV by Lynk & Co. Looking to push the limits of vehicle lighting design, the group selected Melexis’ MLX81116 Smart RGB LED driver due to its sophisticated dynamic lighting control and advanced co...

BEIS Strategic Consultancy has released new insights highlighting the impact of smart lighting technology on the global lighting industry. 

CU Phosco, the family-owned UK designer and manufacturer of outdoor lighting equipment, announces the launch of the FL830, a versatile floodlight designed to meet the demanding lighting requirements of airports, ports, car parks, highway conflict areas, and bridges.
