  1. Looking for papers for the 2010 LED Workshop in Santa Clara. So many good possiblilities for topics... Submit here: http://bit.ly/4gRxSN
  2. Here's a list of solar projects in calif - and the inverters/micro-inverters they plan to use. http://bit.ly/2Umzt7
  3. Electrolytic capacitors - the bane of LED lighting - also rear their flaky heads for solar power inverters http://bit.ly/1K8GaC
  4. Micro-inverters target solar panel efficiency. How's their reliability? http://bit.ly/2nUGMw
  5. Working on a Call 4 Papers for the LED Workshop, March 2010, Santa Clara. Optics, thermal, advances in LEDs, power mgmnt. Send abstract!
  6. Interested in solar? Live in the OC? It's Public Night at #SolPwr09 at the Anaheim Conv Cntr. 900 solar companies. http://bit.ly/PXGuT
  7. Sanyo intro's a 2-sided solar panel. What - you've never sunburned the bottom of your nose? #SolPwr09
  8. Solar bypass diodes with improved efficiency, cooler op temps can increase solar panel output by 1% #SolPwr09
  9. Capacitors = Achilles heal for green energy. Led lights, solar inverters... Darn those caps and their short 8,000hr lifetime.
  10. Ultra-low-power design challenge from TI using the MSP430 uP. $10k in prizes. http://bit.ly/2z4bmD RT @TXInstruments
  11. TESS offering a 6W LED incand replacement bulb for $12 (promotional). In Taiwan. No dimming, but still a valid product. http://bit.ly/3MZBnb
  12. LED downlight's non-reflective light path makes colors in this home pop. http://bit.ly/4kXW8Y

  15. The Energy Detective (TED) , costs $200, works with Google PowerMeter http://bit.ly/18muFA
  16. The DOE published an excellent summary of its April Workshop on LEDs and SSL (pdf) http://bit.ly/4t2Vnt
  17. Hadn't heard of a redox battery before - you charge it by changing the electrolyte. Fill-er-up for electric vehicles? http://bit.ly/j4rXV
  18. Cool! Fellow EDN editor Paul Rako's parable The Toaster and the Elec. Engineer is at #31 on Hacker News so far http://bit.ly/1a5psi
  19. A big thank you to all who attended and participated in EDN's LED workshop in Chicago. A great turnout, and great presentations.
  20. Brian Dipert's Wireless power review: http://bit.ly/BVKlp. 50-70% (in)efficiency - "That's a deal-breaker, ladies"
