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 backlighting in combination with the dynamic projector lighting creates an irregular dynamic artistic lighting on the wall in the evenings.

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.
