the sales offices have been fitted with dynamic lighting based on latest LED technology

The Swedish company of Wennerstr?m Ljuskontroll has for many years acted as Tridonics sales partner in Sweden, Finland and the Baltic States. The new Wennerstr’m offices in Stockholm are an led flood light impressive demonstration of the success of this partnership. The recently opened showroom and the sales offices have been fitted with dynamic lighting based on latest LED technology, light management components and lamp control gear from Tridonic.

At Wennerstr’m they are aware that seeing light in action is a much more powerful communication tool than talking about light. The showroom therefore plays a key role for the company. Lighting designers, electricians, architects and property developers can see the latest products and be inspired for their own particular projects. Visitors are greeted not by a static lighting concept by a dynamic experience. The intelligent backbone for the versatile switchable, dimmable and tunable lighting is the DALI-based light management system winDIM net with power supplies, control gear and control panels from Tridonic.

A particular highlight in the showroom is the “art wall”. This semi-transparent concrete wall can be highlighted in different ways with colour-changing LED light. RGB LED modules are used for backlighting the led high bay light  Projectors with a rotating prisma are used to illuminate the wall from the front. These are also equipped with RGBA LED technology.

the requisite FAA obstruction lighting system

As part of its ongoing commitment to improving operational efficiency and reducing environmental impact, PPL Generation continually strives to reduce costs and lower internal energy consumption by implementing led flood light  modern technologies throughout its facilities.Constructed in 1974, the Martins Creek facility consists of two oil/natural gas-fired units with a generation capacity of 850 megawatts each. Twin 600-foot ventilation stacks tower over the facility and its surrounding neighbors, each signaled by the requisite FAA obstruction lighting system.

The existing systems, comprised of two sets of three Xenon strobes at positioned 296 feet and 586 feet, had been in place more than 30 years, since the plant first came online. Annual bulb replacements were becoming a significant financial drain in both supply and manpower costs. In 2010 alone, the Martins Creek plant had to replace 10 out of 12 lamps. The year before, the plant replaced all 12 lamps.Based on the highly successful installation of Dialight’s high-efficiency LEDs at the adjacent Lower Mount Bethel Energy power plant, Fuellgraf replaced both of the outdated Xenon systems at the Martins Creek plant with Dialight’s L864/L865 dual LED obstruction fixtures. Backed by a 5 year full performance warranty and highly durable shock and vibration resistance, the Dialight system had already proven to deliver reliable, long-lasting performance and exceptional energy savings.

Consuming just 250W during the day and only 10W at night, compared to the Xenon’s 500W daytime operation and led high bay light  the Dialight system uses significantly less electricity than the Xenon system. But, the most immediate direct benefit of the retrofit will be the dramatic reduction in reoccurring maintenance costs. With Dialight’s proven product longevity that reduces system maintenance, PPL Generation will continue to save for years to come.

when comparing silicon wafers with current LED manufacturing costs

Production of LED chips is typically done on two to four-inch wafers with an expensive sapphire substrate but Toshiba and Bridgelux have developed a process for manufacturing gallium nitride LEDs on 200mm silicon wafers, which Toshiba has brought to its new production line at Kaga Toshiba Electronics Corporation, a discrete products factory in northern Japan.The low power consumption and long life of white LED lighting is winning wide adoption in general purpose lighting, TV backlighting and other areas of application. In the 2011 financial year, the global market stood at led high bay light and it is expected to almost double to 1,250 billion yen (£9.3 billion) in 2016 financial year. Going forward, Toshiba will promote product development and global sales toward securing a 10 per cent share of the world market in 2016.Last year, Bridgelux said it had successfully used silicon wafers to make commercial-grade LED components for the first time and that it had produced GaN-on-Si LEDs in the lab with an efficacy of 150 lm/W. It claims there is a potential 75 per cent improvement in cost when comparing silicon wafers with current LED manufacturing costs.
Toshiba expects to begin production this month of its first white LED silicon wafer product, the TL1F1 1W LED, which it says will deliver 112 lm at 350-mA drive current. The company plans to produce 10 million units per month.The company will start sales of white LED packages to offer general and industrial OEMs what it claims will be a cost-competitive alternative to current LED solutions.A glut of manufacturing capacity and near-collapse in rare earth metal prices is driving down the cost and hence encouraging the rapid take-up of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting.LED lights are based on semiconductors and therefore do not require traditional lamp manufacturing expertise. This has opened opportunities for LED chipmakers to challenge the incumbent incandescent light bulb manufacturers such as Philips,led flood light and General Electric (GE), who have enjoyed a near-monopoly of the market according to an FT article.

The Financial Times believes LED technology is reaching a tipping point, particularly for the commercial sector, as price declines bring forward the payback time on the initial cost of investment. According to McKinsey, quoted in the article, LEDs are set to account for 41 percent of the overall value of the lighting market in 2016 and 63 percent by 2020, versus 12 percent last year.Lighting is one of those facets of modern life that we rather take for granted, but it is a huge consumer of electricity and LED lights consume a fraction compared to traditional incandescent lights or even fluorescent lights, which are themselves capable of up to 75% savings in power over incandescent.Lighting accounts for 19 percent of global electricity consumption, so changes that slash the energy consumption of the sector could have a significant impact on electricity demand.

The future trend of lighting energy lies in LED combined with solar energy

Relevant data shows that the number of LED patent applications in China increased significantly in recent years. According to the "Analysis Report on Semiconductor Lighting Patent Risk" by the Development Research Center of the State Intellectual Property Office, patent applications for LEDs in China cover 22 countries and regions, with Japan, South Korea, the USA, Germany and the Netherlands ranking as the top five. From the view of SeekIC, a subsidiary of Hangzhou Weiku Information & Technology Company, China's LED development plays an indispensable role in the international led flood light market with thriving development potential, though the core LED technologies and patents are under the monopoly of other countries. Since there is a growing tendency of rational development in the domestic LED market, more and more foreign enterprises are turning to it.

 With the promotion of the SeekIC platform, the company has been able to develop a series of LED products,yaham is an electronic components company with a professional LED factory and thousands of related products. Actually, there are many more partnership LED manufacturers with SeekIC. SeekIC has been committed to helping these enterprises adapt to the development of various electronics industries, not limited to the IC industry. With the aid of its functions and influence, SeekIC is effective in helping customers with an in-depth understanding of the global market and in guiding domestic suppliers into the development of new products and technology in order to have a characterized product brand. It also provides one-on-one service to help customers establish effective, targeted social marketing networks.


The future trend of lighting energy lies in LED combined with solar energy. Except for common household lighting,led high bay light are being applied in many different areas, such as automobile headlights and daytime running lights. SeekIC will make further developments and increase market shares in the LED field. For SeekIC and LED manufacturers, policy effects can create great opportunities as well as great challenges.At present, China has become the world's biggest lighting appliances producer and the second largest lighting appliance exporter. By the end of 2011, there were over 3,000 LED enterprises, of which only 140 enterprises had an annual output value of tens of millions of yuan. In general, the development of the Chinese LED industry is faced with great opportunities and unprecedented challenges.

Healy earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from MIT, his PhD in the same field from Harvard University, and an MBA from the University of Chicago.We know that integrated intelligence creates a platform for radical energy efficiency and innovative functionality.,” said Tom Pincince, President and CEO of Digital Lumens. “But, the lack of open standards and a dynamic interoperable ecosystem has so far hampered massive adoption across the entire landscape. Matthew brings a wealth of knowledge, incredible industry experience, and razor-sharp go-to-market skills that will help us work with other players in the market to change this.”
The industry leader in accelerating the LED lighting revolution, the Digital Lumens model combines LED lighting technology with energy management and service capabilities, to offer its customers significant savings of 90 percent annually. The company’s system has proven successful in over 500 installations across the commercial and industrial lighting sector.Staged alternately annually on the West Coast and the East Coast, LFI returns to Las Vegas in 2014 where it set new all-time attendance and trade show records during its five-day run in 2012. In independent studies conducted by the research firm Moore & Symons, attendee and exhibitor ratings of overall value and satisfaction reached an all-time high.capable of producing a wide spectrum light while operating for long periods of time at atmospheric conditions. This device is based on a new concept of light emission from an ultra-thin amorphous dielectric layer.

According to an article published in Applied Physics Letters, the light emission mechanism, characteristics of the emission spectrum, fabrication method, and the operation parameter effects on this type of LED. The device was fabricated with the room-temperature sputter deposition method on a silicon wafer. The light emission intensity could be enhanced with a nanocrystal layer embedded in the dielectric film. Most importantly, the complete process and materials are compatible with the existing IC fabrication facility.There is a need for a new type of LED that is: low cost, long operation life, small in size, emits white light, and easy to fabricate with environmentally friendly materials and process.” Dr. Kuo says. “ What makes this new LED unique is it meets all of these requirements plus it is extremely easy to fabricate with the existing equipment in all semiconductor fabs.”

the judges for good lighting distribution

The UK will have become a net importer of energy by 2015, the imperative to reduce consumption and take the burden off our straining power sector is clear. Turning lights off at night is a very easy place to start. There doesn’t seem to be any movement from our government towards regulating this, but as businesses stand to make considerable energy and cost savings by taking control of their lights, perhaps the impetus should come from there.In addition to superior crystal quality, the native substrate’s optical transparency and high electrical and thermal conductivity enable a very robust, simple LED design that delivers maximum performance. Another advantage of the led flood light approach is that it enables considerable flexibility in the choice of crystal growth plane.

After GE's first Evolve LED Medium Cobrahead (ERMC) won Best-in-Class in the 2009 NGL competition, GE asked its top engineers to make it even better-and they did. The Evolve LED Scalable Cobrahead fixture, introduced in 2012, offers increased light output and more pavement distribution patterns to suit a wider range of roadway classifications, while using up to 25 percent fewer watts than traditional Cobrahead fixtures.Judges applauded the light distribution, color quality, and light output of the Evolve LED Scalable Cobrahead ER2S fixture. Comments included: "wide distribution," "good backlight control" and "like control." GE's Evolve LED Scalable Cobrahead ERS4 and ERS4 with reverse module fixtures also were acknowledged by the judges for good lighting distribution, low glare, and high light output.

This year's NGL competition included 120 products representing 42 different manufacturers and covering 10 different outdoor-lighting categories. Of these, only 37 were chosen as "recognized winners," meaning that they were considered worthy of specification.Of the led high bay light recognized products, four-including GE's Evolve LED Scalable Cobrahead fixture-received the additional designation of Best-in-Class. Entries were reviewed for color, appropriate illuminance, light distribution, glare control, appearance, serviceability, value, and energy efficiency.

which will position both companies for strong growth in our respective LED businesses

a leading developer and manufacturer of LED lighting technologies and solutions, and Toshiba Corporation, a world-leading electronic manufacturer, today announced that they have entered into an agreement under which Bridgelux will sell to Toshiba its industry-leading GaN-on-Silicon technology and related assets, and the companies will strengthen and extend their strategic technology collaboration, through an expanded licensing and manufacturing relationship.In January, 2012, Bridgelux and Toshiba entered into a Joint Development and Collaboration Agreement for the development of GaN-on-Silicon LED technologies. The success of that relationship was demonstrated by Toshiba's announcements of the achievement of world class performance for 8" GaN-on-Silicon LED wafers and mass production of white LEDs. Both of these milestones were achieved using Bridgelux's crystal growth and LED device technologies as well as Toshiba's advanced silicon processes and manufacturing technologies.
The enhanced strategic relationship announced today provides for new business opportunity through the expanded collaboration for next generation LED chips and packages, or platforms, based on the jointly developed GaN-on-Silicon technology, as well as a manufacturing arrangement securing Bridgelux a source of supply for GaN-on-Silicon-based LED chips.Our agreement with Toshiba marks a tremendous milestone in our long history of working closely together, allowing Bridgelux to capitalize on our strong core LED technology platform, providing us with significant new capital for growth, and reducing our capital requirements," said Brad Bullington, Chief Executive Officer of Bridgelux. "This agreement also allows us to focus on what we do best, and what we think the market needs most at this point in time: commercializing, productizing and bringing to market LED-based solid state lighting technologies alongside a proven global scale semiconductor manufacturing partner. We are one step closer to becoming the world's leading solid state lighting technology architecture company."

"We are so excited with this deal that gaining GaN-on-Silicon technology and related assets will contribute to drastically strengthening our LED business, and bring us a high performance and competitive product line-up. We fully expect our new Livermore team to play a leading role within Toshiba in the development and rapid market penetration of GaN-on-Silicon LED chips," said Makoto Hideshima, Executive Vice President of Semiconductor and Storage Products Company, Corporate Vice President of Toshiba. "Entering a new phase of our relationship with Bridgelux, we will be able to accelerate the scaled manufacturing of 8" GaN-on-Silicon LED wafers, which will position both companies for strong growth in our respective LED businesses. The GaN-on-Silicon technology that we acquire will also bring us a breakthrough for Power Devices development and production."

it possible to drastically improve productivity of white LED lighting

Several exhibitors explained. All to prove that their new-generation fixtures - most fired up by a mess of small, energy-efficient LEDs - put out a glow that beats older products using incandescent, halogen or flourescent bulbs.There's also a big push on by LED lightbulb makers to make their new-gen bulbs glow like warm incandescent bulbs.Until recently, we had trouble selling LED fixtures and bulbs because they just weren't bright enough, and people didn't find the illumination flattering," said Michael Kurland,Agent of floodlight of Arch Street Lighting. "Now that's changing."As the cost of raw LED components comes down and quality goes up, product makers can pack extra and more powerful LEDs on a fixture or inside a bulb. One bulb maker, Switch, even offers a rare three-way LED, a 30/60/75-watt equivalent.

And while we winced a couple years ago at the thought of spending $100 for one energy-efficient LED lightbulb, we're now seeing better, brighter, longer-life and dimmable bulbs at as little as $9 for a 40-watt equivalent and about $13 for a 60-watt replacement that offers the same illumination level (800 lumens) but only consumes 7.5 to 13 watts.A $5 LED bulb that likewise lasts for up to 25,000 hours is a "near future goal" for GE, said the company's consumer lighting division manager John Strainic.Just in the nick of time, too. Tightening federal regulations on the maximum allowable energy consumption per lumen of light output on bulbs has already pushed inefficient, 100-watt incandescent lightbulbs off the shelves. Production of 75-watt energy gobblers was banned in the U.S. in January. (Retailers can still sell off inventory.)


By mid-2014, even old-school 40- and 60-watt bulbs (though not pricier, more efficient, new-tech incandescents) "will be hard to find at Wholesale Led high bay light," predicted Stainic. And looming limitations on contaminants may also doom the cold flourescent bulb species which contain mercury.The process allows high-quality GaN single-crystal thin film to be grown on a sapphire substrate and the company plans to start selling these templates.Using this product as a base substrate for an epitaxial wafer for white LEDs the company claims it makes it possible to drastically improve productivity of white LED lighting and the LED properties.

you put one of those close to the plants

Cary Mitchell, a professor of horticulture, said the average tomato is shipped about 1,500 miles from warmer climates where they're grown to cooler climates that cannot produce the fruit cost-effectively in the winter.That journey is costly, however, because tomatoes are picked green and ripen during shipping, decreasing quality and flavor. The lengthy shipping distance also adds to the Wholesale Led high bay light industry's carbon footprint."It makes it really hard for the greenhouse industry to grow tomatoes well in the offseason. We're trying to change that and make it affordable," Mitchell said.Energy costs drive up prices for producers who might want to grow tomatoes in greenhouses in states that have winters inhospitable to growing food. Greenhouses must be heated, and shorter, overcast days require costly lighting.

Mitchell and doctoral student Celina experimented with light-emitting diodes, which are cooler and require far less energy than traditional high-pressure sodium lamps used in greenhouses. They got the same yield — size and number of fruit—with high-pressure sodium lamps and LED towers, but the LEDs used about 25 percent of the energy of traditional lamps.The scientists think the method could have other advantages because the cooler LEDs can be placed much closer and along the sides of plants, lighting not only the top, but also the understory.

The leaves are photosynthesizing on the lower parts of the plants, and that may be helping with the plant's energy," GOmez said. "We're getting the high intensity of the Agent of floodlight close to the plants because they're not hot like a high-pressure sodium lamp. If you put one of those close to the plants, you'd scorch it."

The integrated driver within the canopy housing further simplifies installation

By using a variety of beam angles and warm white color temperature from the Definity lamps, the museum exhibits now capture the attention of viewers as intended and creates areas that truly engage visitors.The essence of the new museum is dramatically different," said Steve Hansen, Director of the Sioux City Public Museum. "The new lighting brings the museum into the modern age and that was our ultimate goal. Our team could not be more pleased with Hilferty's direction of the project and their decision to use LED lamps from Lighting Science.Cree reports a breakthrough innovation in canopy LED lighting with the introduction of the CPY250 canopy and soffit lighting series. According to Cree it Consumes 75 percent less energy than the led flood light systems it’s designed to replace and 5–15 percent less energy with more than 35 percent increased performance compared to competing higher-cost LED luminaires, the new CPY Series delivers exceptional visual environments across a range of canopy applications, including gas stations, bank drive-through ATMs and hotel/airport drop-off centers.

“Canopy operators are under constant pressure to lower operating costs while simultaneously providing safe and visually appealing lighting,” said Greg Merritt, vice president, lighting at Cree. “The new CPY Series, with its slim, low-profile design, is the perfect upgrade solution. The high-performance LED luminaires not only outperform existing LED and MH solutions but also enable the lowest total cost of ownership objectives to be achieved.Available in both flat and prismatic drop lens, the CPY250 provides two illumination aesthetics to meet the visual, as well as the vertical and horizontal illumination, performance needs of a typical canopy application. The CPY250 can seamlessly mount to virtually any canopy deck and is secured in place with self-sealing screws that provide a reliable water-tight seal. The integrated driver within the canopy housing further simplifies installation, reducing installation time and cost. The new canopy series also features Cree’s 10-year limited warranty.

Green-emitting nitride semiconductor Led high bay light structures tend to suffer from low light output due to the difficulty in producing the high-indium-content indium gallium nitride (InGaN) needed for longer-wavelength light emission. Apart from the material quality challenge, strain induced by the lattice mismatch with pure GaN leads to large piezoelectric effects, giving electric fields that tend to pull electrons and holes apart, reducing rates of recombination into photons.The Chinese team tackled the problem by inserting a layer of lower-indium-content InGaN before the high-In-content light-emitting layer. Simulations were carried out first, suggesting that such a layer could reduce the strain-dependent electric fields in the active light-emitting multiple quantum well (MQW) structure.

LED headlamps with supplementary traffic safety functions

On an operational front, GE’s LED Iberia solution is estimated to generate savings amounting to nearly US$10,000 per annum in terms of energy usage and maintenance. From an environmental perspective, the energy savings is equivalent to eliminating approximately 53,850kg of carbon dioxide car emissions per year or saving 89.33 acres of trees.These garage and canopy luminaires with integrated lighting control technology provide over 60-percent reduction in operating costs compared to the traditional Agent of floodlight metal halide fixtures. The PixelView Control occupancy sensing system offers fully integrated individual luminaire management with unparalleled coverage.When wildlife is sensitive to lighting and local ordinances require safe night lighting, the Coastal Light is the preferred solution. The Coastal Light is wildlife-friendly with its amber LED source. The amber option is now available on Lighting Science's most popular luminaires—the Prolific LSR and the Road master RMS roadway lighting. The Coastal Lamp is also available for retrofitting a variety of existing fixtures.
The Forefront Series represents a breakthrough in both performance and design. Engineered to maximize the capabilities of the LED source, these luminaires are available in various sizes and performance optical distributions that enable dramatic energy and maintenance savings over traditional HID technologies. Osram is to develop glare-free adaptive headlights, where modulating multiple LED die within a headlight allows the shape of its beam to be varied in response to data from forward-facing cameras in the vehicle.Low-beams that adapt with vehicle speed are another aspect: at high speed the range of the light is automatically increased, while in city traffic the beam is widened to include more of the pavement and road edges.

"The aim of this project is to develop the technical framework for a new class of energy-efficient LED headlamps with supplementary traffic safety functions," said Osram. "This can provide the basis for adaptive forward lighting systems [AFSs] that offer drivers and passengers increased safety.We have brought together major-league players in their respective sectors, assembling a wealth of expertise for this pioneering project around one table," said project coordinator Stefan Grötsch, also responsible for LED applications in automotive lighting at Osram.One of the biggest single factors contributing to the cost of an LED wafer is the volume of chemicals used in the MOCVD process. The novel chamber and gas injector design in the Wholesale Led high bay light result in highly efficient use of gas and pre-cursor chemicals when compared to MOCVD systems currently in the market. The GaN-500 has been field tested in a customer fab for more than one year. Over the course of hundreds of runs, materials performance, gas consumption, and machine reliability have been extensively monitored and validated. We are extremely excited to report that this testing has confirmed that our product can produce wafer uniformities and growth rates that are comparable with established systems, while at the same time consuming up to 40% less gases and chemicals.

the yaham lab takes place based on a sophisticated process chain

These ceramics leverage their strengths mainly as translucent, in other words semi-transparent, materials for color conversion. Color conversion is the foundation of all white LED light sources, which are actually blue LEDs coated by a luminescent material. This material is usually bound inside silicone, and therefore not nearly as heat resistant as a fluorescent ceramic manufactured at temperatures in excess of 1600°C. In combination with high-intensity LEDs or laser diodes, the outstanding temperature stability and thermal conductivity of these ceramic converters allow for new light sources to be developed. Their luminance is 2 to 3 times higher than that of a typical xenon burner. Areas of application include wholesale nichia 160w led high bay light, next-generation digital projectors and headlights, for example.Its core markets are the household appliance, pharmaceuticals, electronics, optics, solar power, transportation and architecture industries. The company is strongly committed to contributing to its customers’ success and making SCHOTT an important part of people’s lives with its high-quality products and intelligent solutions.
The versatile properties of the ceramics can be custom designed or optimized using a multistep manufacturing process at yaham.This has made it possible to industrially manufacture transparent and translucent ceramics with diameters of between 30 and 50 millimeters. Initial sampling by partners and potential customers is already underway.At first glance, they remind us of glass lenses or color filters. Nevertheless, their manufacturer is convinced that immense new potential lies in these transparent or milky-yellowish platelets made of ceramic. “We have now succeeded in meeting the long-held wishes of the optical industry for a new transparent material for use in photography and other types of imaging devices.

Manufacturing of transparent or translucent ceramics at the yaham lab takes place based on a sophisticated process chain. Depending on the application, highly reactive oxide nanopowders of various compositions are mixed, doped, homogenized in liquid media and then dried again. Afterwards they are pressed into shapes like optical lenses, for instance, and sintered into ceramics inside a special high-temperature furnace at up to 2000°C inside a vacuum or 1800°C in the open air. The sintered parts are then cut and polished for further processing.These leaders will share their insights on the development of the LED market. LEDinside analyst team will put forward Global LED Industrial Development Prospect and Forecast in 2013 -2014 , and Consumer Survey of Chinese led high bay light Market .He also pocesses rich marketing management experience from previous positions at Sony, Whirlpool, and other Fortune 500 firms. Mr. Zhou has an extensive practice and a deep study in product & brand management, distribution channel establishment, marketing process improvement.

Integral electronic ballasts offer inaudible operation

Awarded a 2011 Progress Report by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES), the FCLS luminaire provides the highest-quality illumination available with minimal electrical consumption and wattages as low as 5.5 watts per linear foot. This innovative luminaire provides seamless illumination from end to end with no dark spots or socket shadows. Integral electronic ballasts offer inaudible operation and a power factor of 95 along with standard integral 1% dimming ballasts that are compatible with 2-wire low-voltage dimmers. These luminaires are available in a wide color selection, including 11 different white hues as well as neon and pastel colors, utilizing reliable, ultra long-life, high-output and high color-rendering led flood light cold cathode lamps.The city plans to expand its utilization of LED fixtures in public street lights, deploying higher-volume installations of the technology in three areas: around the new Downtown Market, along Monroe Avenue at Riverside Park, beneath U.S. 131 by Grand Valley State University.
Grand Rapids currently has an estimated 100 LED street lights, and the city will evaluate whether all 18,000 lights in the system should get the fixtures.We are looking at an asset management strategy to consider just that," said Christopher Zull, the city’s traffic safety manager. "We’re likely going to find a spot where that makes good business sense" as LED technology improves and costs come down.We’ve moved from the small-scale 3- and 6-fixture to a more large-scale 40-fixture test. As we’re upgrading street lighting for areas such as around the Downtown Market, we’ve asked for an LED option for that contract.Grand Rapids started installing LED street lights several years ago, but officials were disappointed with early results. With LED illumination having improved, the city now will hire a consultant to inventory street lights and lighting levels to assess the merits of broader LED installations.Zull said citywide LED street light deployment could reduce electricity use by an estimated $425,000.This will not close the gap entirely," he said. “The current business model will not be able to achieve a complete sustainability state."

Grand Rapids officials said they are budgeting $3.9 million for street lighting in the upcoming fiscal year, including about $1.8 million on electricity. The city projects about $1.8 million in direct revenue from street lighting services.Grand Rapids leaders three years ago considered charging a fee for street lighting, but backed off.This has spurred on automobile manufacturers to find possible solutions, culminating in the led high bay light implementation of more sophisticated lighting arrangements into their latest models.The industry took a major step forward in advanced front-lighting systems (AFS) with the arrival of Pixel Light, which dramatically improves driver/passenger/pedestrian safety. Conventional incandescent or high-intensity discharge (HID) lamp-based AFS implementations rely on motor-controlled beam adjustment. Pixel Light, on the other hand, controls multiple LED emitters, providing a far more flexible and operationally efficient approach. However, cost-effective, modular electronics will be required to drive and control AFS systems based in this technology.

LED backlighting rebounded in the first half of 2013

With the addition of the high-power N9, and mid-power P50N series, SemiLEDs has really opened up that area of the industrial market where both very high-output single UV-LED sources, and cost-effective UV-LED arrays, have not previously been available. Given the key advantages that UV-LEDs bring to the market, include increased efficiency and lifetime, reduction of hazardous substances, and the virtual elimination of heat in the beam. This advanced technology is expected to displace the inefficient, short-lifetime incumbents in the near future.Demand for LED backlighting rebounded in the first half of 2013, Taiwan-based led high bay lighting manufacturer believes demand for LED lighting will show strong growth in the second half of 2013 and lighting applications may account for 35-40% of its total revenues.
LED firms said judging from past experience, international tier-one TV makers usually slow down procurement in July-August with only China-based makers continuing to procure products. However, as China's energy-saving appliance procurement subsidies are set to end soon, demand for TV backlighting products in the third quarter may turn weak.Benefitting from rising demand for LED backlight and lighting products, Epistar has seen capacity utilization rate for blue LEDs rise above 90% in the second quarter. Market observers believe Epistar may see second-quarter revenues grow 30-40% sequentially. The observers also noted that demand for backlight applications is still stronger than demand for lighting, and revenues from backlighting products are likely to account for 50% and lighting 25-30% of total second-quarter revenues for Epistar.

It is an indisputable fact that LED market has gradually rebounded, but the relative excess of industry capacity is also an unavoidable reality. In the recent two weeks, the leading LED companies have introduced LED expansion plans, of course, Sanan Optoelectronics is no exception, it launched its plan on the evening of May 27 that it will raise funds about 3.3 billion Yuan to expand LED projects.Taiwan-based high power Led tunnel light manufacturer Edison Opto plans to provide products for TV backlight applications in 2013. According to industry sources, Edison Opto's TV backlighting products passed verification in the second quarter and will begin shipments in July.

The direct view of the light source for quality illumination

The Maine Department of Transportation selected Holophane?LED high mast outdoor lighting fixtures from Acuity Brands, Inc. to retrofit 105 light towers that illuminate Interstate 295. The new HMAO LED high mast solution provides two distinct benefits for the MaineDOT: evenly distributed white light for enhanced illumination and greater energy efficiency compared to the previous lighting technology.HMAO LED high masts use only 290-watts per fixture, and are rated to deliver up to 100,000 hours of maintenance-free operation. They feature multiple LED modules that reduce the potential for dark areas in the event an LED module fails. Through use of multiple LED drivers,Agent of floodlight masts offer the choice of various lumen packages, provide a back-up light source and overlapping distribution. Additionally, prismatic glass optics minimize the direct view of the light source for quality illumination.

“Our main goal is to provide a safe transportation system for the state of Maine,” said Ron Cote, MaineDOT Electrical Supervisor. “We were looking for a light source that would provide lower maintenance and a whiter light. The benefits of multiple LED drivers and modules and the longevity of Holophane HMAO LED fixtures are exactly what we wanted. Additionally, the quality of light combined with the payback of these fixtures is absolutely incredible.The state’s previous high-pressure sodium light fixtures were turned off each night from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. in order to reduce operating costs, which left roads and rest areas dark during that time period. In addition, the previous fixtures left bright spots and glare on the road due to uneven light distribution.

Electricity cost for each newly retrofitted light tower, operating from dusk to dawn each day, is only $66 per month, compared to $200 per month for each tower using the previous fixtures and operating a reduced number of hours. The reduction in energy cost allows Wholesale Led high bay light to leave the lights on throughout the night, providing a safer transit environment.Holophane was first to market with innovative, high mast lighting systems,” said Rob Drago, Acuity Brands Lighting Vice President, Infrastructure. “As an established leader in the industry, we continue to advance the technology, creating a best in class product that provides the features and benefits of a true high mast luminaire.This LED drop light generates less heat than incandescent work lights, has a 50,000 hour rated working life without being broken, and produces a much more white light comparing to the yellowish light produced by incandescent bulbs.

The LED application market is mostly based on LED backlight

Technology Corporation won the 2013 Best LED packaging Product award with their yaham series. When selecting a winner for this award, the committee focused on the creativity of technology and the efficiency of the product. Lite-On’s yaham series presented a luminous efficacy of 140lm/W and a 2700K color temperature, and its high voltage package feature allowed it to be applied to small Led flood light products and be arranged with smaller yet more efficient high voltage power drives. Due to these features, the yaham series was chosen among other competitive products.

The committee focused most on the creativity of technology, lighting efficiency, and market performance when selecting a winner for the LED Packaging Products with Best Luminous Efficacy award. This year APT Electronics won this award with their E-Star3535, a latest ceramic patch LED without gold wire bonding. Their products in 2012 could already present a luminous efficacy of 140lm/W, and such products also have other advantaged features including a narrow color distribution, good conductance, an 80% smaller size compared with general high power products, and a wider application and design range.


The LED application market is mostly based on LED backlight and LED lighting products, while other special applications and packaging led streetlight market segment products are developed in different markets. Small product size, however, is the common characteristic of these products and also the trend in the lighting market; with a smaller product size, manufacturers are able to reduce production cost (which is probably why these products are so popular). It is expected that in 2013H2, more similar high efficiency products will be developed and by then, products with over 160lm/W will dominate the market.

full chip production capacity is supplied to the internal product chain

As the penetration of LED TV will reach 90% this year, it is expected that LED TV demand will enter the naturally growing market, the demand growth rate of backlight is not as great as before from 2014 to 2015, the era that LED TV backlight grow rapidly will soon be over, so Led flood light industry began targeting LED lighting market, and manufacturers from Taiwan and mainland have revealed news about expanding capacity in this year.Mainland chip manufacturers such as Sanan, Silan and Aucksun have been reported to expand chip production capacity, Sanan have announced to increase capital of 3.3 billion Yuan, about 2.8 billion Yuan will be invested to restart the 2nd project in Wuhu and the rest will be used to supplement working capital. In terms of that Sanan has 141 units of 2-inch MOCVD machines (effective capacity approximately 130 units), when the newly added capacity is fully put into operation, production capacity of Sanan will double.

Taiwan chip manufacturers has not lagged behind mainland chip makers in expanding capacity, Epistar will expand production capacity at least 25% this year, it has increased capacity more than 10% since this year, and the expansion behavior is still ongoing, but Epistar said that its production capacity has already been fully utilized, the expansion aims to adapt to market demand.Lextar also starts expanding chip production capacity in succession at the Suzhou plant this year, in view of that it has 70 to 80 sets of MOCVD machines, it is also expected to add about one-third of production capacity, but because the company operates in the one-stop production model, full chip production capacity is supplied to the internal product chain.


At the end of last year,YAHAM Lighting offered WSU an LED high bay fixture that is commonly used for warehouse applications. The university's energy team measured its distribution of light, dimming capabilities, and net change in weight. After a series of test and review, a total of 80 fixtures were installed at the Dee Events Center to replace the Led high bay light fixtures. The new LED high bay lighting produces more than 200 foot candles.The original lighting produced dim spots on the court, and foot candles ranged from 60-150 depending on location.

many international enterprises are developing LED flexible display technology

The company’s creditor bank has been pursuing the company to obtain their financial claim but has yet to hear anything from the company.Chimei used to be a superior company in the Taiwanese LED world. Even with two rich shareholders like Innolux Corportation and Chimei Cooperation, the company still went out of business. The main reason comes from the fact that solid capital and high government subsidy plans in China for the LED market have made Chinese manufacturers a strong competitor with low prices. Also, due to this abundance of competition slowing down in China, the same type of situation has now spread to Taiwan.

With shareholder Chimei Cooperation fading out the technology industry, Innolux not using Chimei Optoelectronic made chips, and other LED companies refusal for corporate acquisition.Chimei Optoelectronics bankruptcy is a situation Taiwanese LED manufacturers refuse to acknowledge, but it is actually a good development for the entire LED industry. It will cause the supply and demand to become more balanced. That being said, the creditor bank for Chimei suffers most from the situation.Before 2011, all chips produced by Chimei had good luminous efficacy, supplying companies like big packing manufacturer Everlight. LED epitaxy manufacturer Epistar even considered merging with Chimei during their horizontal integration.


According to reports, many international enterprises are developing LED flexible display technology, including Samsung, LG and SONY, but have yet not achieved industrialization. The release of this flexible LED display marks that Visionox has broken through many technical difficulties such as bonding and stripping of flexible substrate, precision graphicness of flexible film, and thin film encapsulation of a flexible panel.

because of limited competition in these two fields

Ambiance Lighting Systems, the specifier-grade, customizable lighting brand of Sea Gull Lighting, now offers a game-changing, new High Output LED Module, which provides more lumen output per linear foot than any other cable system lamp product of its kind on the market.Under the pressure of lowering prices caused by oversupply in the LED industry, the upstream nichia 160w chip led high bay manufacturer has established a clear lighting transformation strategy for 2013.As LED lighting applications matures, GPI is actively transforming and adjusting its product portfolio. The company pointed out it received steady flow of orders from Japanese lighting clients in 2013, and is gradually providing flip-chips and 3D COB products to luminaire manufacturers in China, Japan, Europe, U.S. and emerging markets.

In the past, most of GPI’s green light chip production capacity was supplied to outdoor display markets. However, the company has lowered estimations of green light chip production capacity as the Chinese outdoor display market eases. GPI is actively expanding in the lighting market. Besides receiving stable orders from Japanese lighting clients, the company is focused on flip-chips and 3D COB product lines because of limited competition in these two fields. Accompanying rising product revenue ratios in these two product lines, it can also improve the company’s product portfolio and optimize gross profit performance.In addition, GPI is cooperating with Chinese package manufacturers to tap into China’s smartphone backlight supply chain, including Huawei, ZTE and Lenovo. Small-midsized backlight products accounted for about 20% of total revenues.


The company forecasted total revenues will grow 10% in 3Q13 compared 2Q because of strong lighting demands and signs of rebound in the backlight TV market. As LED backlight market enters low season in Led high bay lighting, quarterly performance will depond on the speed of rising lighting demands.aluminum housing with a frosted-acrylic lens, the miniature Ambiance High Output LED Modules can be used with 12-volt Ambiance Lx Cable Systems powered by magnetic low-voltage or zero-load electronic low-voltage transformers. Simply snap the Module onto the Ambiance Lx track and cable to provide a generous amount of illumination. The Modules are dimmable up to 10% when used with either MLV or ELV dimmers.

the entire operation will experience a slack season

As the effectiveness of layout in Chinese market is paying off, OEM orders continues to increase. LED packaging enterprise Edison said that Q3 is the traditional peak season for LED lighting, order visibility has stretched to 1.5 to 2 months, the capacity utilization of existing production lines can be maintained at 90%. Relevant sources expect that the revenue of Edison in the third quarter will grow more than 10% over the second quarter, higher than the average for the industry.
In the second quarter of next year the FIFA World Cup Brazil will feature top grade LED displays in 14 playing venues. With LED display panel driver IC demand starting to emerge, Macroblock chairman Dr. Li-Chang Yang expressed that the company has been receiving an influx of customer orders and the increased output volume has become one of the divers for operation in the second half of the year.
The competition within the LED driver IC market is fierce. Dr. Li-Chang Yang stressed that in facing the pressures of price cutting, the company aggressively increases the added value of their products by launching LED driver IC equipped with controller capabilities and continuously accelerating high PWM wafer output volume. Currently there has been a total shift towards 3.5 micrometer (µm) manufacturing and specialized packaging technology, both of which have low costs. Future profit margins strive to maintain a standard of 33 percent.
After providing a hefty number of LED driver ICs for the London Olympics last year, the company will also be responsible for equipping 14 playing venues with top grade LED displays. Completion of the installation is expected by next year 1Q. The company currently has consumers placing orders and shipments will peak in 4Q13. It is expected that support for the entire operation will experience a slack season.

Macroblock emphasizes that despite the short duration of the competitions, Macroblock will delivery entirely PWM capable wafers for the World Cup. The company wants to exhibit the high quality performance of the product to entice consumers to increase their standards when shopping, as well as diversify market competition.For the first half of the year, high end wafers accounted for 20 percent of Macroblock’s total deliveries. Due to price being twice the norm and exceptional gross profit, consumers outside of China no longer deliver standard wafers. It is predicated that after World Cup Brazil, high end wafer delivery proportions will have an expected increase to 40 percent which will lead to more competitive price-cutting on the market.

the customer to enable new market opportunities

With the explosion of companies converting their high wattage and high maintenance indoor and outdoor fixtures to energy efficient technologies like LED, we have been successful in the market by utilizing our nationwide network of sales agents to reach distributors, architects and the customer," said Steve Zeneri. "We are proud to be a leader in lighting technology and proud to be able to serve the local community through current customers such as McDonald's, Goodyear, Lockheed Martin, PPG, Cleveland Metroparks, and Stark State College."
The milestone is the result of the first phase of SETi’s growth, begun in October 2011 with a $20m investment into a new dedicated volume production facility and an expansion of its Advanced Technology Center. The first LEDs delivered from the new line were UVC LEDs operating at 275nm for disinfection applications, giving customers access to germicidal UVC LEDs intended for consumer markets.

Mainstream disinfection markets are very cost sensitive, but SETi says that it has set a new pricing structure for standard SMD UV LEDs manufactured through the new line to compete with traditional light sources. “The new volume production facility has allowed SETi to focus a part of its business solely on manufacturing, which has reduced costs through operational methods and yield improvements,” says president & CEO Dr Remis Gaska. “We are passing these savings directly to the customer to enable new market opportunities,” he adds. UVC LEDs are now available as standard SMD products at prices similar to conventional white LEDs, enabling new product opportunities to take advantage of UV LEDs and enter new consumer markets, reckons SETi.

the weak demand for rare earth from overseas markets is due to prices curbing

There have been no revolutionary technological breakthroughs in the applications of rare earth minerals. This in turns reduces the possibility for explosive growth in demand for rare earth. He believes that the weak demand for rare earth from overseas markets is due to prices curbing and also from technical bottlenecking caused by natural decrease.In the context of a weak downstream, China’s rare earth raw material supply position was again looked at with importance. Since the 1990’s, after the closing of led flood light. of America’s (Molycorp) rare earth production line, China in the world’s rare earth supply ratio stabilized at 90 percent and above. While according to the U.S. Geological Survey’s investigation, China’s rare earth reserves made up 36 percent of the world’s total reserves, but have been declining.
After 2009, due to China’s rare earth industry consolidation and environmental management, the world’s rare earth supply diversification began accelerating. According to the U.S. TMR company’s tracking research, in recent years the 261 companies in the United States, Canada, Australia, India, Brazil, Vietnam, Mongolia, South Africa, Russia and other 37 countries have engaged in 429 rare earth projects. However, currently with the vast majority of these companies still in the exploration stage due to decline in rare earth prices, the progress of these projects have experienced differing degrees of impact.
By comparing data, it is clear that in 2013 the entire global market for rare earth might have a shortage in supply. However, after 2014 there will be a reverse of this situation. Consumer businesses can seek comfort in the diversified supply channels. Western rare earth production capacity proportions are increasing,” said managing director of Metal-Pages Nigel Tunna.

A member of a group of experts at the National Development and Reform Commission and a senior professional engineer at China led high bay light Engineering Corporation, Zeng Tianyuan proposed that if China set its rare earth supply at 70 percent, this would stabilize China’s industry and satisfy world demand. “The positive of 70 percent capacity is the reasonable price for Chinese and overseas rare earth industries which will promote stabilization in the market.”

In spite of their extreme aerodynamic style

The Full LED headlamps, taken from the new R308, characterize a feline appearance and are positioned within the lower front panel via its 3D ‘teeth’. The six groups of LEDs contribute to the determined attitude of the 308 R Concept. They initiate the muscular movement of the front wings and the shoulder line which connects them to the rear lights. This line extends the bonnet and body waist line in a fluid and dynamic stance.
Fixed in the overhead position, the exterior mirrors are finely shaped in carbonfibre. In spite of their extreme aerodynamic style, they incorporate the direction indicator with LEDs of a lean, distinctive design. The upper part accommodates the shell and the glass, the whole confirming that purity and radicalism go hand in hand.
In profile, the concept’s posture is lowered by 26mm, emphasized by the body sills which have a matt black trim finish. They join the wheel arches curvaceously housing 19” bespoke wheels. On each wheel rim, the Lion is adorned in bluish Dark Chrome while one of the five spokes bears the signature ‘R’ logo in plain red. The light effect produced by the character line running across the doors adds to the dynamism of the vehicle by having the appearance of leaning forward.

The new 308 rear lights, with the three claws outlined by LEDs, emerge from the quarter lines interrupted cleanly by the widening of the wings. In addition, this leaves visible the pronounced stance of the rear, a promise of stability in this world of performance. Putting the finishing touches to this radical style with beauty, the two symmetrical exhaust tailpipes protrude through black lacquered trims, which frame the air vents. At this particularly furtive angle, a few components stand out. Dressed with a red signature are the lamps, the interior of the tailpipes and the interior surface of the spoiler to enhance its prominence.
