Introduction
LED lighting is the fast growing trend in well established smart lighting technology as
the preferred method of lighting and illumination. The list of benefits of using LED light is long
enough. Besides the benefit of control over the light outcome, energy consumption, safety and
security purposes are some of the many benefits of LED lights. Other than smart lighting, Led
has application in controlling sensors light temperature, smoke, and others. Even it is the best
option for data transmission over optical communication method. For LED based smart lighting
technology quartz oscillators and crystals are important components as they provide the
necessary energy to run the components of a smart lighting circuit with LED lights [4]. This case
study analyzes the oscillators and crystals of Ecliptek which are best suited for LED lights.
Project on smart lighting technology
The products like quartz crystal and oscillators from Ecliptek are best for low energy
consumption frequency driven circuits like smart lighting technology [2]. Such circuits contain
some typical components like LED lighting networks and the LED drivers.
 For such luminaries circuit design intelligent and automatic type of microprocessor
circuits are necessary for control purposes.
 The network typically utilizes Zigbee 3.0 for communication purposes and a typical LED
display for the display purpose.
 All this components require frequency generator as all of these components work with
the support of typical frequency of Real Time Clocking of watch crystals.
The electrical and electronics engineers of Ecliptek working in the field of crystal
oscillator design have designed watch crystals which are typically effective for LED lighting

solutions, which are used for smart lighting technologies as well as other purposes like sensor
control and optical communication method. The company has a wide range of watch crystals
best suited for such purposes. The crystals of Ecliptek offer better solutions for such purposes
in a comparatively les price than other available crystals of other companies. The best suited
quartz and watch crystals of Ecliptek available for these smart lighting solutions are EA1012,
EA1216 and E4WS, E3WS, E8WS accordingly. The specifications of such crystals are given
below.
 EA1012: it is a SMD crystal of 1.0x1.2 mm area. The frequency range of the
crystal is 36Mhz to 52 Mhz.
 EaA1216: this is also a SMD crystal of 1.2x1.6mm area. The frequency range of
the crystal is 36Mhz to 52Mhz.
 E4WS: another SMD crystal of 1.0x1.6 mm area with oscillation frequency of
32.768 kHz.
 E3WS: this is a SMD crystal of 1.2x2.0mm area and frequency of 32.768kHz
 E8WS: this is a SMD crystal of 1.5x3.2mm area with a frequency of 32.768kHz.
The ZigBee is a IEEE802.15.4 radio standard for communication which oversights
through the ZigBee Alliance. It is a comparatively simple and less expensive option of Bluetooth
and WiFi. The technology of ZigBee works on short range low data flow network which is best
for small optical communicative channels. The typical transmission distance for ZigBee is 10 to
100 meters over a single node. The anodes of ZigBee mesh communication network are like
broadcasting relay amplification points, which increase the overall network coverage. This is
why the density of the mesh network should be kept high enough to maintain the integrity of the
channels. In case the proximity devices are not positioned close enough then dummy nodes can

be used. There are three categories of devices used in ZigBee communication channels. They are
the ZigBee coordinator, ZigBee routers and the ZigBee end devices [3]. This type of
communication is best for controlling remote sensors with data rates of 20-250kbps depending
on the frequency band [1]. Currently ZigBee 3.0 supports nearly 240 devices in a network. Even
with the help of IP support ZigBee channels can control non-ZigBee devices too like smart
phones tablets and smart lighting circuits. The ZigBee radios are less expensive however
implementing them requires a great extent of knowledge about them.
Conclusion
The smart lighting technology is the best option to replace the traditional lighting
solutions, which have been causing high energy consumption and other loses. The circuitry for
such technology is quite simple to design and all the components are easily available. Not only
lighting solutions LED technology is having a great place in controlling technology worldwide.
Starting from room temperature to domestic smoke detectors, LED lights are highly used for
controlling industrial sensors too. The smart lighting technology circuit is also the base of
modern optical technology which is supporting supper fast and low data rate communication
globally. The oscillators of Ecliptek are the best solution for designing such smart lighting
circuitries.
