Green tea extract is effective at removing facial wrinkles
A COMBINATION of LED light therapy and a lotion made from green tea extract is far more effective at removing facial wrinkles than conventional therapies, according to a team of German researchers. The combination of high-intensity light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a lotion made of green tea extract works 10 times faster than a similar anti-wrinkle treatment that uses LEDs alone, according to the findings published in the journal Crystal Growth and Design. The researchers, And
WAC Lighting Selects Cypress’s EZ-Color High-Brightness LED (HBLED) Controllers to Control the LEDs in New Color-Changing Tape Light System
Based on Cypress’s flexible PSoC® programmable system-on-chip, the EZ-Color solution enabled WAC Lighting designers to quickly introduce the energy-efficient INVISILED™ PALETTE system to the display and accent lighting markets. The Cypress EZ-Color solution provided the flexibility and ease-of-use of the PSOC architecture while integrating the color mixing algorithms we required for our INVISILED PALETTE system,” said Shelley Wang, President of WAC Lighting and the 2009 recipient of the Resident
LED Lamps And Their Advantages Over Traditional Lighting
by Pedro Strovalinski LED lamps use diodes to emit light rather than the gas or filament that the older bulbs use. The way they are constructed is usually by a cluster or several LEDs housed in a suitable container. These containers come in many sizes, shapes and types of cap so as to fit into the desired socket. LEDs were first available in the 60s but were not used all that much. By the time the 70s came around however, they were being used in number of appliances, but not as general light
