Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs)

Dear Colleagues,

Lighting systems based on LED technologies gain further significance as they are reaching maturity. However, a series of challenges remain unsolved. Complex LED driver designs still show limited efficiency. On the other hand, some economical choices in the design of the power electronic systems required to drive LED result in units whose longevity is shorter than those of LED devices. Accordingly, the development of efficient and reliable LED drivers is an interesting research topic.

This Special Issue focuses on the discussion of emerging solutions suitable to leverage the efficiency and sustainability of LED lighting systems. Possible topics include, but are not limited to,

• Fault-tolerant and sustainable LED driver configuration.
• Optimized control strategies for LED drivers, including demand-side management.
• Reliability prediction and physics of failure of LED devices.
• Temperature management in LED systems.
• Smart controllers based upon human presence detection.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Eng is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
