Infrared LEDs have been around for over half a century and have been put to use in myriad applications since their development. Before we take a look at some of these uses, though, here are some fun ...

Many devices use infrared (IR) as a signalling medium like, for example, RGB LED strip controllers modules and some TV controllers. Often times these signals aren’t meant for secure applications which ...

This color smart bulb enhances the night vision of your security cameras through infrared LEDs, even when it’s turned off. LIFX has taken its top-notch Wi-Fi color LED smart bulb and added a terrific ...

Debuting as the first member of a family of infrared (IR) emitters, the OD-850W gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) LED features a wide-emission angle and an optical output of 40 mW at 100 mA with a ...

Ams Osram has introduced two infrared LEDs (IREDs) with special primary optics, the SFH 4171S and SFH 4181S, in space-saving packages that enable biometric identification in laptops. While facial ...

While more and more consumer products are rushing to include WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, the simplicity and reliability of infrared has kept it in the game in the game far longer than many might ...
