I have been reading up on LED bulbs and it seems power factor correction (PFC) is quite needed in most designs.
My goal is to achieve a PF greater than 0.9. I am considering using an LED Driver with built-in PFC like Fairchild's FLS0116. From the datasheet of FLS0116 (and attached photo), it's...
I'm making a light barrier and working on a "sender" part right now. The main thing I want to achieve is the maximum distance. I'm using Vishay TSSP4038 for receiving signal.
In the datasheet it's stated that it can work on distances about 30m. I can't get even close. With 350mA (1W) LED it's...
