Summary
The LEDLUM EU H2020 project has been focused on bridging current technology gaps in LED lighting solutions; namely, the bulky and sometimes unreliable nature of the drivers of LED circuits. Partners collaborated to explore using more efficient, more reliable and much smaller driver technology to advance the growing need for LED lighting worldwide. As the project nears completion, we sit in on a technical meeting and interview some key players to get a better picture of how things are shaping up.
The LEDLUM project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 731466.
This project is an initiative of the Photonics Public Private Partnership.

| 0:00.0 | Powerful collaborations, cutting-edge science, and curious minds coming together for a glimpse of the future. |
| 0:12.0 | Stay tuned as we look at the latest updates on some of the most promising technology projects. |
| 0:19.0 | Welcome to our podcast. promising technology projects. |
| 0:28.6 | Welcome to our podcast. I'm Peter Balland from Technicon, and today we take a closer look at the Ledlam project. This is an EU-funded effort to bring efficiency and size |
| 0:34.6 | reduction to the drivers that are used in LED lighting. |
| 0:38.3 | The end result being more flexibility and reliability in lighting design. |
| 0:42.3 | To finish this project on time and as planned, |
| 0:45.3 | partners are meeting today at Technicon here in Austria to discuss some details |
| 0:49.3 | prior to completion, which is only a few months away. |
| 0:52.3 | We start off with Arnold Knott from the Technical University of Denmark. |
| 0:57.0 | Tell us what you do and how you're involved with Ledlam. |
| 1:00.2 | My name is Arnold Knott. |
| 1:02.1 | I'm associate professor at the Technical University of Denmark, |
| 1:05.7 | working there with research and working there with education within power electronics. |
| 1:18.6 | Within the Ledlam project, I've been originally involved in starting the project, met with some guys from Tridonic, at a conference in 2015, and we sat down and looked at the business case for technology and went on to write |
| 1:31.4 | an application to the European Commission. And our topic fit in very well there. So we were |
| 1:35.9 | very pleased with that. To summarize, Ledlam is a project which aims to increase the efficiency, |
| 1:41.5 | decrease the size of the drivers that operate LEDs, as we know them today. |
| 1:47.1 | Is this for commercial products, or will people actually see this on the consumer level? |
| 1:52.2 | So if I walk into a store, what would I see that might be an end result of your research and your work? |
| 1:58.0 | Well, what we are expecting to happen very soon within the next couple of |
| 2:01.2 | years is that the LED drivers will have a ways longer lifetime compared to the nowadays |
