  2. Overheating (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overheating_(electricity)

    Overheating may be caused from any accidental fault of the circuit (such as short-circuit or spark-gap), or may be caused from a wrong design or manufacture (such as the lack of a proper heat dissipation system). Due to accumulation of heat, the system reaches an equilibrium of heat accumulation vs. dissipation at a much higher temperature than ...

  3. Thermal management of high-power LEDs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_management_of_high...

    The heat generated by a high power LED will first transfer to liquids through a cold plate. Then liquids driven by a pump will circulate in the system to absorb the heat. Lastly, a fan-cooled radiator will cool the heated fluids for the next circulation. The circulation of liquids manages the temperature of the high power LED.

  4. List of LED failure modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LED_failure_modes

    Differentiated phosphor degeneration: The different phosphors used in white LEDs tend to degrade with heat and age, but at different rates causing changes in the produced light color, for example, purple and pink LEDs often use an organic phosphor formulation which may degrade after just a few hours of operation causing a major shift in output ...

  5. Standby power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_power

    All of the above examples, such as the remote control, digital clock functions, and—in the case of adapters—no-load power, can be switched off just by switching off the power point. However, for some devices with a built-in internal battery, such as a phone, the standby functions can be stopped by removing the battery.

  6. Mercury switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch

    A mercury switch is an electrical switch that opens and closes a circuit when a small amount of the liquid metal mercury connects metal electrodes to close the circuit. There are several different basic designs (tilt, displacement, radial, etc.) but they all share the common design strength of non-eroding switch contacts.

  7. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

    The thermal switch may be a bimetallic strip, often encased in a tubular glass bulb to protect it from dust or short circuit. Another common design uses a bimetallic shallow dome-shaped cap which "clicks" to an inside-out inverted cap shape when heated, such as the "Klixon" brand of thermal cutouts.

    An ongoing heat wave in India and Pakistan and rising wet-bulb temperatures could create hot and severely humid conditions that threaten human survivability. An ongoing heat wave in India and ...

  9. Light extraction in LEDs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_extraction_in_LEDs

    Often more than half of the emitted light is reflected back at the LED-package and package-air interfaces. The reflection is most commonly reduced by using a dome-shaped (half-sphere) package with the diode in the center so that the outgoing light rays strike the surface perpendicularly, at which angle the reflection is minimized. Substrates ...
