This month we feature our refreshed LED lighting application page with a focus on LED lighting for use in horticulture. The new product ranges with colours optimised for plant growth together with greater operating efficiency opens up this market for local producers. We have the ILS Petunia development kits which are an ideal starting point including everything to get going. The new ranges of Osram drivers cover a multitude of applications together with different dimming options
The Circular Hybrid Connector CHC range from TE Connectivity is ideal for applications requiring a high-speed data connection and power supply in a single connector. This solution provides convenience with high reliability and an associated cost saving. A complete range of housings, contacts and accessories give maximum flexibility for your designs.
The Arduino UNO is now available with Wi-Fi, same size and perfect for wireless applications. If you want to add sensors to your designs the new Arduino Lucky Shield sits on top of your Arduino board and is an easy way of adding a whole suite of sensors to your next project.

Our featured video this month is by John Harper of ON Semiconductor. He discusses the benefits of using the newly launched range of compact intelligent power modules IPM’s in motor drives. Using these modules ensures reliability, efficiency and compact drive solutions for brushless DC, permanent magnet synchronous and AC induction motors
Add pick and place functionality to your Arduino project. The Braccio is a fully operational robotic arm designed for desktop operation under the control of your Arduino board. Able to pick and move objects it can also be used in control applications such as an automated tracking camera mount or solar panel positioner to follow the sun. Includes 6 servo motors for positional control
If you are operating in extreme temperature environments take a look at the Vishay HOTcap™ devices. Designed for the higher operating temperatures in automotive electronic components up to 175 °C covered by the AEC-Q200 standard and Qualified for automotive applications.
Improve your ability to solve electrical problems by quickly finding the fault, repairing and then validating that the circuit is functioning correctly. The new Fluke 279 FC Thermal Multimeter is the ideal solution, combining two tools in one by integrating thermal imaging into a full-featured digital multimeter. Ideal for industrial electricians and technicians checking for hot spots in circuits, components, wires, connectors, switches etc.
