http://www.ledinside.com/led_lighting_20110815 Start to look into LED lighting and quickly it becomes obvious that one type of LED will not suit all situations. After a while, you get sophisticated enough to take colour-rendering index (CRI) and colour temperature into account, and even then you are only about halfway down the check list. However, everybody agrees that daylight is white, or at least a type of white, and daylight comes from the sun - a ball of gas with a surface temperature about 6,500 Kelvin. "Sunlight is pretty close to black-body radiation," Dr James Nobbs of the University of Leeds told Electronics Weekly.

Driving Higher Levels of Efficiency in Lighting through Primary Side Regulation | LEDinside - LED News, LED Price Trends and LED market intelligence,Global LED News, Market Intelligence & Research

http://www.ledinside.com/knowledge_20100429 Abstract Global attention continues to focus on the methods for achieving low power consumption and high efficiency. Lighting represents nearly 20% of the worldwide consumption of electrical resources and advancements in lighting can have a tremendous impact. LED solid state lighting (SSL) is environmentally friendly for the global environment.
LED has established its unshakable position in the backlighting of portable devices. Even in the backlighting for the large-sized LCD panel, it has started to challenge the mainstream CCFL. In lighting, LED is especially popular in the market due to its highlighted features like energy-efficiency, environmental friendliness, long lifetime, and low maintenance. The driver circuit is a crucial and integral part of the LED. Whether in lighting, backlighting or the display panel, the choice of the technical architecture of the driver circuit must correspond to specific applications. The LED lighting mechanism goes as follows: when the forward voltage is applied to both ends, the minority carrier and majority carrier in the semiconductor recombine to release surplus energy, giving off photons. http://www.ledinside.com/print/10492
