ROHM SEMICONDUCTOR 2022 25 LEARN MORE LEARN MORE Ultra Low Iq Buck Converter BD70522GUL-EVK-101 Evaluation Kit incandescent bulb. A technician from the manufacturer should install an integrated LED, given that the connections are all internal. The LED is part of the fixture, and damaging the bulb could compromise the entire lighting assembly. Finally, due to the challenge in installation, integrating an LED is essentially a permanent step. This condition makes upgrading a challenge. As a result, it is essential that the fixture technology and integrated LED are compatible with advancements to the surrounding architecture, as an LED failure may require the replacement of the entire fixture. ADVANTAGES FOR INTEGRATED DESIGN Integrating LEDs into light fixtures is a highly-convenient way to enable several technology enhancements. With the growing functionality of the smart home, a higher number of tasks can benefit from an embedded LED. Some of these features include design flexibility and control over light output. In addition, ease of control of the integrated LED can enhance dimming capability. While customization is more complicated by definition from a semi-permanent solution, incorporating a solution like the CSL 1104WBx can help engineers deliver the entire color spectrum. Improved control can make the lighting experience more natural. When paired with the smart home, integrated LEDs can dynamically deliver circadian lighting to adapt to the user's sleep and wake pattern. LEDs are adept for this application. Furthermore, the improved color adjustment offered by the ROHM CSL LED delivers finer color spectrum resolution to more closely match the current shade of natural light. Finally, engineers design integrated LEDs as a system with compatible components that dramatically increase the efficiency and lifespan of the fixture. In addition, designing and comprehensively optimizing the system can reduce inconsistencies in light output due to voltage surges. CONCLUSION AND MAIN TAKEAWAY There are many considerations when replacing a bulb and an integrated LED. The consumer must consider the headwinds of higher cost, difficulty in upgrading to new and emerging technologies, and longer/more complex installations. But the benefits range from environmental to brightness, to efficient light output per bulb size, to increased control and color performance through products like the ROHM CSL1104WBx. These enhancements allow the user to recover the marginally higher cost in a reasonable timeframe and provide numerous benefits in luminosity, color, control, and design flexibility. Neither path is ideal in every situation; it is vital to consider and prioritize each option's advantages, benefits, and hurdles to determine whether replacing or integrating the LED is the best choice. *Both ROHM's Wi-SUN Enhanced HAN compatible module BP35C0-J11 and Wi-SUN JUTA wireless communication module are certified under Japan's Radio Law.
