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.
