A U.S. manufacturer Dog-E-Glow has launched a series of LED dog leashes and collars to keep pets safe during walks at night. Good creative idea, but the prices of this company’s LED dog leashes and dog collars are not cheap. If you are tough, you can Do It Yourself.

The company claims the leashes are visible at a range of 304.8 meters (1,000 feet), which could help prevent road accidents as drivers and motorists will be able to see the glowing animal from afar.In addition, the weather resistant leash uses LEDs with 100,000 hours lifetime, and a battery with 150 hour life. These dogs below party hard after a week of hard work in the office.

I check the prices of this company’s LED dog leashes and dog collars: they are pretty expensive. If you are tough, you can Do It Yourself：

How to DIY LED dog leashes & Collars

The easiest way

All you need is a LED Strip, a dc 5v battery.

e.g.

• One 500cm LED strip, cut it into two, one 50cm strip for making the dog collar, and the other 450cm strip for the dog leash.


• Wear your dog with the collar, and twine the 450CM LED strip with the existed leash.


• Why twining, can’t the LED strips be used as leashes directly? Because these LED strips may not as strong as your dogs.(Maybe it’s ok with a tiny cute Pekingese, not never try it on a large-sized dog, e.g. a husky dog.)


• As where to place the battery, either bound it on your dog body or hold in your hand, just place it near either end of the LED strip. All done, walk your dog out at night and check it.

For a better looking and solid LED leash

• Use RGB Dream-Color LED Strips(very colorful, up to 83 different changing patterns and 100 different changing speeds. Imaging what a cool dog!)


• Use waterproof and dust-proof LED Strips: solider and more durable.

AC switched matrix technique replaces flyback, buck and boost converters

DALLAS, Nov. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced the industry’s first floating switch architecture that simplifies the offline linear drive of LEDs in lamps, downlights and fixtures. The AC switched matrix technique features TI’s TPS92411 floating MOSFET switch and is an innovative approach to producing low-ripple LED drive current without magnetic components. The architecture provides excellent compatibility with legacy wall dimmers and delivers high power factor and low total harmonic distortion (THD). For more information, samples and evaluation modules, visit www.ti.com/tps92411-pr.

Flyback, buck and boost converters are common switch-mode power supply (SMPS) topologies in LED lamps today. These circuits operate at high frequencies and require inductive components to turn mains AC current into the constant DC current necessary to drive LEDs. Selection of inductors and transformers for power transfer is complicated, often requiring expensive custom components. In addition, an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter consisting of four to ten passive components is required to prevent the SMPS circuit from harming other electronic equipment. If phase dimming is required, multiple design iterations may be necessary to optimize dimmer compatibility and prevent LED flicker.

The floating switch architecture with TI’s TPS92411 overcomes these challenges. It requires no inductive components for power transfer, eliminating cost and bulk and simplifying design. Watch a video here.

The TPS92411 joins TI’s diverse LED driver portfolio that includes the TPS92075, LM3447 and LM3445.

Key features and benefits of TPS92411:

— 100-V, 2-Ohm floating MOSFET switch with 350 mA of current capability

— LED drive performance is comparable to traditional flyback, buck and

boost converters:

— Greater than 0.95 power factor.

— Less than 15 percent of total harmonic distortion.

— Low LED current ripple results in efficient LED utilization as

compared with “tapped linear” drivers.

— Low-frequency, slew-rate controlled switch action produces very little

EMI noise.

— Unlike designs using traditional converters, the very low-cost floating

switch architecture requires no inductive components.

— Works well with both TRIAC and reverse phase wall dimmers.

— Supports lighting designs up to 70 W.

Availability, packaging and pricing

Available now in volume from TI and its authorized distributors, the TPS92411 is offered in a 5-pin SOT-23 package priced at US$0.23 each in 1,000-unit quantities. An evaluation module is offered at $75.00. The TPS92411 in an 8-pin PowerPad(TM) SOIC package will be available in the first quarter of 2014.

Will LED lights Make Nuclear Plants Obsolete?

LED lights is a better option than nuclear power plants, and LEDs may be the end of nuclear power plants.

Businesses, voters, utilities and politicians will be asking that question-or an equivalent form of it-several times over the next two decades. Should they invest in technology and projects that generate power or into products like solid-state lights or dynamic air conditioners that conserve electricity?

By a sheer coincidence, LED lights and nuclear power provide an intriguing way to study the issue. Nuclear power plants generate approximately19% of the electric power in the U.S. Lighting accounts for approximately 19% of the power used. Thus, you can argue the fleet of 104 commercial nuclear reactors exists to keep the lights on. If you want to increase functional capacity by 20 percent, you can build 21 nuclear reactors or reduce light power by 20 percent.

The picture stays roughly the same when you look globally.Worldwide, lighting accounting for 19% of power consumption while nuclear generates 12.3 percent of the world’s power generation from 434 nuclear reactors. Global electrical use will climb 93 percent between 2010 and 2040 to 39 trillion kilowatt hours while, electric light output is expected to nearly double, from 113 petalumens in 2000 to 217 petalumens by 2030. Lighting and power move hand in hand.
US-net-generation-by-energy-source[/caption]

So what’s the logical thing to do? Spoiler alert-bulbs win hands down. The Department of Energy estimates that solid-state lighting is already on track to cut lighting power by 46%.

“In 2030, the annual site energy savings due to the increased penetration of LED lighting is estimated to be approximately 300 terawatt-hours, the equivalent annual electrical output of about fifty 1,000-megawatt power plants,” the DOE estimates.

Put another way, if you could install these anticipated LED lighting systems overnight-and the only impediment to that would be finding enough bulbs-you could mothball 44 reactors by the end of the year and/or postpone any new plants for decades.

Even more aggressive measures could further reduce the need for nuclear. Case studies that show that networked controls combined with LEDs can cut power by 80 to 90 percent, or another 35 to 45 power plants. With smart lights and a computerized Clapper, we’ve already whacked out nearly the entire reactor fleet.

Would lighting be more cost-effective? Yes, by a wide margin. Georgia Power is in the midst of trying to bring two nuclear power reactors online. The estimated budget is currently $14 billion, or $900 million over earlier estimates, and the project has been delayed to 2017 or 2018. Earlier this month, Westinghouse, which is building the reactor, filed a lawsuit against Georgia Power.

Finland’s Olkiluoto, a 1.6 gigawatt plant originally slated for completion in 2009, won’t likely go live until 2016.

Compare that to lighting. The cost of the primary component package for making LED bulbs fell from $13 per kilolumens to $6 per kilolumen from 2010 to 2011. In 2012, Lux Research predicted LED bulb prices would drop by 50% to hit $11 by 2020. But, oops, it’s already happened. Several vendors sell 60 watt equivalent bulbs for $12 to $10.

Here’s another way to look at it. There are roughly 6 billion bulbs in U.S. households. They consume about 25 percent of light electricity and the bulbs have an average wattage of 46 watts, according to the DOE. By swapping in $10, 11-watt LEDs, you could cut overall power consumption by 15 percent. One $7 billion nuclear plant like one of Georgia Power’s 1.2 GW units would add a little over 1 percent of capacity. The bulb solution would cost $60 billion, and around $36 billion two years from now, and require only that consumers know how to screw in a light bulb. Nuclear would cost $105 billion, probably more, and take decades.

And note that residential LEDs provide the least bang for the buck. The 2.4 billion commercial lighting systems consume half the total light power. In commercial markets, vendors have come up with programs to finance lighting upgrades through utility bill savings, reducing the cost of new lights to zero or close to it. New York, London, Paris, Buenos Aires and other cities have already launched LED streetlight programs. Fun fact: there are 2.4 billion commercial, industrial and outdoor lights in the U.S.

As a result, demand is expanding. McKinsey & Co. estimates that worldwide revenue for LEDs in general lighting will mushroom from approximately $6.5 billion in 2011 to over $75 billion by 2020. The market share for LEDs in lighting will grow from approximately 10% today to 45% percent in 2016 and 70% by 2020.

LEDs aren’t perfect. Recently, we bought, and quickly returned, ceiling LEDs from a large, brand-name manufacturer because they bathed the living room in a clinical, white light. It looked sort of like the patient room in a free clinic. But most bulbs, such as the new low-cost bulbs from Switch, do quite a good job of mimicking the performance of incandescents.

There’s also the issue of government interference and manipulation of the market. Many conservatives don’t like LED bulbs because the market in part was jump started by efficiency initiatives.

But in a straight comparison, bulbs win again. Nuclear epitomized big government. Britain recently announced it will build two reactors for $26 billion. Two state-controlled corporations from China will own 30 to 40 percent while Areva, a corporation largely owned by the French government, will own another 10 percent. The cost of the power will be approximately double current wholesale prices.

LED prices have declined largely through market competition and technological advanced. In fact, LED bulbs potentially will reduce government. Lighting execs have told me that one of the big complaints about LED streetlights is the fact that, because they last so long, municipal employees worry about job cutbacks. You simply don’t need as many maintenance people.

And finally, there is the issue of safety. Is anyone really afraid of Iran getting its hands on a dimmer switch?
