OLED as a light source

An organic light-emitting diode, commonly used in the form of the acronym OLED, is a light source in the family of semiconductor light sources. This family consists of inorganic LEDs (LED), organic LEDs (OLED) and lasers. While an LED is a bright point source, an OLED is a large surface spotlight.
OLED technology is mainly known as the new technology for television and screens for smartphones and tablets. But the OLED technique is also used in other ways. The bright light of OLED technology can perfectly function as the lighting in the home or possibly for companies. The OLED lighting is many times more energy efficient than, for example, the energy that a light bulb consumes.

OLED lifetime

What is quite normal with light sources, they degrade over time. This reduces the light intensity and this also happens with the OLED lighting. A lifetime of more than 1000 hours is reported for white polymer OLEDs and more than 10,000 hours for white small molecule OLEDs. This will play a role in the future to give televisions a longer life with better quality.

Just like in OLED televisions and screens, OLED lamps also offer options for incorporating a curved panel into the design. LG is working on a light source that can be operated via the smartphone. With different settings such as 'film' and 'relax' the OLED light can be adjusted in different ways.

OLED as a light source on the market

Various companies and designers are working on incorporating OLED technology into the new designs and lighting sources that they make. The OLED lighting that has been presented so far has stylish and futuristic designs that show that the OLED lighting is going to be accelerating in the coming years. More and more players on the market are becoming involved with OLED technology and this leads to surprising results in the field of OLED as a light source.

Is LED lighting dimmable?

Is LED lighting dimmable? Yes, LED lighting is easy to dim, especially with the right LED dimmer. With dimmable LED lighting there are a few points of attention: Only LED lighting that is specifically designated as 'dimmable LED lighting' is suitable for this, look in the title or under 'specifications' at the product level. LED lighting has very low wattage. It is important that the total connected power in watts approaches the start of the dimming range. The dimming range is often specified on the packaging or on the front plate of the dimmer (see example below) Example:   This dimmer has a dimming range of 20-360W. In order for the dimmer to work properly, a minimum of 5 LED lamps of 4W must be connected to each other on a dimmer. Too few LED lamps (too low connected total wattage) will make the lamps flicker, especially in the low dimming position. Due to the low wattage of the LED lamps, the dimming range is sufficient but more limited than with halogen or ...
