the government also intends to set up an intelligent lighting

According to Korean media, the capital city Seoul has scheduled to install more LED lamps in public, and encourages the private sector to further expand the scope of installation.

LED products will be installed in public places including subway stations and streets. And the city government offices are planned to use LED lightings by the year of 2018, aiming for energy saving and promoting the development on LED lighting industry.

In addition, the government also extends this plan to the private sector by the year of 2030. It’s estimated that there are 800000 pieces LED lamps to be installed in public and 70000 pieces installed in private sector. It’s estimated to save electricity bills for $105 million per year.

What’s more, the government also intends to set up an intelligent lighting grid which contains 1.32 million energy saving streetlights. And to encourage the private sector to adopt LEDs, the city will provide a maximum of 1 billion won ($870000) loan with interest rate 2.5%.

the company centers on selling its halogen color series products

As developing, Genesis will have three production bases in the Greater China region: Tainan, Dongguan and Kunshan. The Tainan plant will focus on innovative technologies R&D and sales to international customers.  And for the two China-based plants, Chung expected them to be completely responsible for supplying LED chips in China before 2015.

Based on analyzing MOCVD utilization and revenues at LED makers in Taiwan, Maxim pointed out that, the next uptick in MOCVD spending is likely to “fall far short” of the peak seen in 2010-2011. The analysts expect H2 2012 MOCVD orders at about 130 tools.

Higher MOCVD utilization rates are not the norm across all LED makers, but rather at sector leaders. Large LED players like Sanan are expanding in H2 2012. Epistar is planning new LED fabs (Miaoli and Fujian) by 2014. Still, near-term spending doesn’t signifies a return to growth, but instead what is needed to maintain spending levels in 2H 2012 and 2013.

According to its marketing manager, the company centers on selling its halogen color series products. The new product can achieve the color temperature as low as 2400K, and the CRI is 90. Also it can emit the same light effect as the traditional halogen light. Therefore it can receive increasing demands from overseas market in spite of euro crisis.

According to a statement on July 9 released by The WTO/TBT Center of the Administration of Quality and Technology Supervision of Guangdong, it received TBT, or technical barriers to trade, notices on higher standards for LED lights and directional lights exported to those countries and regions.

The higher efficiency requirements set by the EU would inflate the costs of LED light producers in Guangdong by more than 20 percent, or 2 billion yuan.

the mutual beneficial business opportunities offered by the vast markets of materials

This development of HVPE technology introduces a revolutionary business model and allows LED makers to free up as much as 60 percent of their MOVPE capacity. LED makers can now focus on improving the more custom-designed layers that make up the light-emitting part of an LED," said André-Jacques Auberton-Hervé, president and CEO of Soitec. "In addition to this business opportunity, we are exploring the possibility of expanding our cooperation with Silian into the field of LED lighting, leveraging Soitec's expertise in epitaxial growth developed by our Soitec Phoenix Labs subsidiary in Arizona."

Chairman Xiaobo Xiang of China Silian Instruments Group, Silian’s holding company, added, “Soitec and Silian have very attractive complementary technologies. Therefore, we look forward to exploring with Soitec the mutual beneficial business opportunities offered by the vast markets of materials, LEDs and lighting.

According to the company ,it has expanded the span of LED lighting angle from 120° to 150°,and increased the light efficiency by 20% as well as reduced more than 50% cost , which filling the blank in SMD LED application in outdoor high definition LED display.

which brings operator costs down and provides consistent output

ARC’s study is the first subject in a new series called “CHES Foundations”, which explains how CHES technology and CHES furnaces are enabling sapphire growth companies to meet increasing demand. Several ARC customers have already announced that their CHES sapphire has been qualified by multiple LED manufacturers.

ARC Energy’s CHES furnaces are unique in several ways. One key advantage is dramatically higher material utilization due to sapphire growth on the c-plane. This approach produces large diameter substrates at a significantly lower cost. Greater than 75% material utilization can be achieved using c-plane ARC Energy CHES furnaces while other methods are limited to less than 35%. CHES furnaces are also highly automated—a key feature which brings operator costs down and provides consistent output.

CHES furnaces are designed to produce higher performance sapphire at larger wafer sizes compared to older technologies. A CHES furnace produces high-yield sapphire up to 10" diameter, providing higher efficiency downstream in the LED manufacturing process and upstream as c-plane growth significantly reduces waste.

The study results show CHES-grown sapphire is capable of production-level performance. As the HB-LED market expands, CHES gives sapphire growers significant advantages, including higher yield, a scalable technology, and better LED chip performance. ARC Energy offers CHES furnaces and a variety of support services for crystal growth companies seeking to lead in the HB-LED industry.

Cumbria for the LED lighting market

In addition, the vice president pointed out that this year the company will equally stress sales in both overseas and local markets, a revision to past strategy of focusing on export sales. The enterprises and factories are the company’s primary potential customers. The company will double its annual output in the near future from current 5,000 lamps. As part of the expansion plan, the company will add production lines in Q3.

UK Company Marl International has announced to inject ￡150,000 to double its manufacturing output at its site in Ulverston, Cumbria for the LED lighting market. The announcement brings the investment made by Marl in its UK manufacturing facility to ￡270,000 altogether.

The production line has been specially modified to handle PCB boards of up to 600mm long, which are commonly required to replace conventional lighting products.

Marl is not only ramping up its output of LED lighting modules that act as a direct replacement for much less efficient lighting technologies, but will also enter the electro-mechanical module assembly business aiming to match offshore pricing with quality, UK manufactured products.

the customers have greatly beaten down the prices

In addition, Brookshire Brothers has retrofitted with GE Evolve LED Area Lights lighting in five of its parking lots. GE’s 210-watt Area Lights replaced 400-watt high-intensity discharge fixtures in two lots while in the others, 1,000-watt HIDs were replaced by 270-watt Area Lights. Brookshire Brothers will save more than $14,000 annually in electricity costs and further maintenance savings from the parking lot improvements.

Brookshire Brothers’ outdoor lighting updates also included Wallighter Luminaires mounted on buildings for extra security around entrances and walkways. Several locations have also incorporated GE Tetra LED Lighting Systems to complement the enhanced exterior appearance of the stores.

We find it difficult to conduct foreign trade business of LED lights because the customers have greatly beaten down the prices, for example, the price of spotlights (3W) has fallen from $5.80in the first quarter to $3.50. The profits of our enterprise have constantly declined, and the market competition is really suffering,” said a foreign trade manager of a small micro-LED enterprise in Shenzhen. From the realistic perspective, he thought that display screen business would be more profitable than lighting, and that a host of China’s LED enterprises were stuck in a similar plight. The positioning of LED lighting products, whose price still remains high, as consumer goods block them from opening the market on a large scale.

Yeh believed that consumers are motivated to buy the bulbs by efficiency over price of the lamps

The company’s bulbs produce 80 lumens per watt, and are 270 degree wide in beaming angle and dimmable. And Yeh believed that consumers are motivated to buy the bulbs by efficiency over price of the lamps. Yeh continued that light efficiency, color rendering, and LED high bay light dimmablility have now dominated consumers’ decision to procure the lamps or not.

He said making the company’s bulbs available at 7-11 stores is to grant consumers a very convenient access to the bulbs. Everlight has filled over 60% of Taiwan’s market for LED bulbs.

And Sony's Deputy President of home entertainment products, Noriaki Negishi, confirmed to Reg Hardware earlier this year will be aggressively promoting OLED technology within a year. “2013 will be the year when we will really fight back with new technologies," he said in March.

Jonathan Schoo, electronics and microtechnology expert at Germany Trade & Invest in Berlin, pointed out that, "The energy revolution in Germany is enabling many infrastructural upgrades. Several German cities have already begun testing LEDs in Led linear high bay light and in buildings. The German automobile industry is also exploring the advantages of LEDs, which could draw in valuable investments."

the tremendous advantages of LEDs into an attractive

We have developed an innovative lighting system with our new LED luminaires: the Silento, Calyx and Tresol product lines are made for flexible use in living and work spaces. In each one, we have packed the tremendous advantages of LEDs into an attractive and above all highly functional shell,” says Henning Bohnhorst, Head of Consumer Luminaires in General Lighting at Osram.

Thanks to their small size, LEDs can be incorporated in any number of designs, as demonstrated by the ultra-thin, clear lines of the Silento Poco and Silento Lungo pendant luminaires. This unique pendant design with either three or five pivoting LED panels just eight millimeters thick provides flexible direct or indirect lighting. The seven-inch (17.8 cm) panels can be rotated through +180/-160 degrees, meaning the light can be directed right where it is needed.

The Tresol family has been expanded to include two wall fixtures, available immediately: Tresol Bloc and Tresol Cube. The lighting modules in the cubic Tresol Bloc are mounted on the two ends. Their special feature: They can each be tilted 60 degrees to direct the light wherever it is needed. Tresol Bloc can be mounted horizontally or vertically.

their promotion has been stipulated in the law to promote measures against global warming

Under the nation's current basic energy plan, all lighting products for sale will be replaced by LED or organic electroluminescence (EL) by 2020. As these types of lighting help reduce greenhouse gases, their promotion has been stipulated in the law to promote measures against global warming.

Currently, many challenges exist within the developing LED high bay light market, including lack of engineering resources, lengthy product testing and certification lead times, and prohibitive product development costs. In response, Noribachi has made its acclaimed LED products available to all mainstream lighting channels, allowing anyone to immediately go to market with a full LED product line.

The NORImark product line is a robust set of hundreds of light modules and complete light engines crafted in hundreds of different geometries able to upgrade any existing luminaire to LED.

Philips is strongly present at the Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition 2012, showcasing its innovative LED integrated solutions that meet specific needs of local customers. Milestones include LTP, the Lighting System which perfectly integrates LED light sources into textile fabrics, and StarSense, an intelligent wireless control system that measures and controls outdoor lighting.

We plan to make some of the LED components for smart phones

For Globetronics Technology Bhd, its chief executive officer Heng Huck Lee said the group was currently working with three US customers on high brightness LED modules. He disclosed that the company was in the commercial stage production for multi-colour high brightness high bay light in green-house lighting. And the group had no plans to tap into the automotive LED segment, which was still driven by low and medium-power LEDs. "We are still very focus in the high-power LED segment. We plan to make some of the LED components for smart phones and tablets next year," he said.

Research Bhd has started to build a 90,000 sq ft facility at the company's existing site to cater to the demand for LED test and process handling system in 2013."We are getting ready to make LED testers that are able to test high brightness LED requiring high voltage power. The new AC or DC high voltage LED would require a new tester to meet the test specification," Elsoft CEO C.E. Tan said.

MMS Ventures Bhd MD T.K. Sia said the group was now manufacturing for the second half 2012 customised multi-functional LED test equipment that could perform productions process functions such as singulating and sorting.

"The challenge now is to integrate more and more production processes into the LED test equipment, which will help lower the cost of LED high bay light production. Japan and the United States provide strong competition in the multi-functional LED test equipment segment," he said.A multi-functional LED would be priced in the international market at between US$100,000 and US$500,000, depending the integrated features and functions.

a lack of widely accepted thermal testing standards for power LED components meant

Solid State Technology Association, the global leader in the development of standards for the microelectronics industry, announced the publication of a new series of standards for component level testing of high-brightness/power LEDs. Development within JEDEC’s JC-15 Committee involved LED industry leaders, and resulted in the new JESD51-5x series of standards aimed at thermal characterization of power LED components.  The series is in compliance with the International Commission on Illumination (CIE)’s existing LED measurement recommendations.

As the efficiency of power LEDs has improved over time (now in the range of 20-40% depending on the type of LED), the use of high-brightness/power LEDs as a lighting source has become widespread in diverse applications in numerous industries. In these use cases, thermal design is critical in order to ensure expected LED lifetimes and light output, and the design process requires accurate thermal data for LED components. Prior to the publication of the JESD51-5x series, a lack of widely accepted thermal testing standards for power LED components meant that published data sheet information was often questionable. Therefore, development of the new standards was urgently needed.

Both LED manufacturers and LED integrators who assemble LEDs to substrates will benefit from these new standards. They include clear recommendations for which data to include on LED data sheets, as well as test environments and procedures defined specifically for power LEDs, removing previously existing ambiguity about how thermal performance of an LED package or a metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB) assembled LED device is identified.

The new standards will be featured in a presentation at the upcoming CORM (Council for Optical Radiation Measurements) 2012 event on May 31st in Ottawa, Canada. Dr. Andras Poppe of Mentor Graphics and Budapest University of Technology and Economics, and a key author of the new standards within JC-15, will speak on the topic of “New JEDEC thermal testing standards for high power LEDs”.

the entire value chain from front to back

Market researchers at IMS Research have predicted strong growth for opto semiconductors such as LED components and laser diodes with average growth rates of around five percent worldwide in the coming years. The fastest growth is expected to come in China during the same period, with an average growth rate of ten percent. This growth potential extends beyond components. According to a market survey conducted by McKinsey, the rapidly growing Asian region today already accounts for around 35 percent of today’s global general lighting market. This share is expected to increase to 45 percent by 2020. Forecasts predict the Chinese market alone, worth over €8 billion today, to more than double by 2020. In fiscal 2011, Osram generated about one fifth of the Group’s revenue in the Asia-Pacific region, where it employs over 16,000 people. This workforce is larger than that of any other region worldwide, and roughly half of it is employed in China. Osram has marketed products in the region for about 80 years, covering the entire value chain from front to back.

Currently, global LED industry is in the process of changeful period. In Japan, nuclear power shortage has driven up demand for LED lamps after the March 11 earthquake. Also, benefiting from the ban imposed by certain countries against selling incandescent light bulb of high wattage in 2012, Europe has become one of the most fast-growing LED markets in the world besides Japan. Meanwhile, South Korean government and Chinese government have constantly promoted and supported the LED industry and have achieved considerably outstanding results.

As an old saying, “Devised strategies, winning thousands of miles away”. How to get a hold of the market prospects and have a firm grip on the changing market dynamics and adjust the operation strategy accordingly becomes the pressing issue in 2012.

The sessions at the LEDforum will dissect the development of the LED industry in the next five years, the channel strategy of the Chinese LED industry and the challenge facing it. As for the concurrent sessions in the afternoon, they will focus on the prospects for the LED industry and the LED lighting market, the key development of the LED manufacturing process and equipment, providing a thorough analysis on the LED market.

these energy savings while improving illumination quality

We installed the WWCWs at the box office. This area is open to daylight on two sides and we have recently needed to reprogram the fixtures for a dimmer setting as the employees complained that they were too bright", explains Herrick.

A well-lit environment creates a more positive shopping experience for customers at retail locations of all sizes. As such, the retail industry in the U.S. spends nearly $20 billion on energy each year according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with lighting as the largest energy drain. The EPA also estimates that a 10% reduction in energy costs for average retail outlets could increase profit margins by 16% annually. An advanced lighting control system can serve as an indispensable tool in accomplishing these energy savings while improving illumination quality.

An advanced lighting control system allows for individual controlling of each lighting fixture or peripheral device in retail spaces from big-box merchandisers to boutiques. All devices are networked and centrally controlled through a central software interface. This allows for addressable dimming or switching of light fixtures independent of electrical circuiting for the purpose of lighting control and energy management.

Once addressable dimming controls are implemented throughout the space, a number of advanced lighting energy management strategies – such as daylight harvesting, load shedding, smart time scheduling, task tuning, occupancy sensing and personal control – can help to optimize energy performance. While some of these strategies have been used independently for some time, the ability of advanced systems to seamlessly integrate and deploy them on a property-wide basis is yielding much greater energy savings.

Astronics will provide a complete suite of instruments panels

Astronics Luminescent Systems , a subsidiary backed by Astronics Corporation , has been selected by Learjet Inc., a subsidiary of Bombardier, to supply LED-based cockpit lighting panels for its newly introduced Learjet 70* and Learjet 75* light business jets.

Astronics will provide a complete suite of instruments panels that are illuminated with LEDs which provide increased reliability while reducing power consumption.According to the company, the HIGH BAY.M is an indoor highbay solution exclusively distributed by Noribachi in the United States. Noribachi’s HIGHBAY.M fixtures deliver an astounding bright, natural white light that allows fruit and vegetable inspectors to determine ripeness without taking a trip outside, a serious inconvenience that the previous HID lighting had necessitated with its yellow tinge.

Noribachi LED lighting is also completely unaffected by the freezing temperature of the 34?F environment, whereas traditional lighting suffers serious lifetime shortages and turn-on delays.The Noribachi HIGHBAY.M fixtures provide so much clean light that in one room Agro-Jal Director Eric Gamble was able to scale back from 25 fluorescent fixtures to only 7 LED fixtures while achieving superior light output and quality. This not only made the Noribachi solution as cost competitive as fluorescents, but yielded the further benefit of keeping the toxic fluorescent bulbs away from food products.

LED fixtures to be reliably controlled without additional wiring

This innovative hybrid bulb combines the best features of an incandescent, CFL and halogen bulb in one. The result is an instant-on technology that uses 75 percent less energy than an incandescent bulb and lasts eight times longer.The ENERGY STAR qualification is just one more validation of Led high bay light how truly special this light bulb is,” says Jeff Patton, general manager of consumer marketing, GE Lighting. “It’s already been widely embraced by consumers and received top-notch award nods. We’re so pleased that this latest recognition now conveys this important energy-saving distinction.”

GE engineers carefully crafted this bulb to eliminate the delayed start associated with the CFL bulb. They discovered a solution by nestling an instantly bright halogen capsule inside the swirl of a compact fluorescent light bulb. The halogen element comes on instantly and turns off once the CFL comes to full brightness, thus preserving the energy efficiency of the bulb. It’s also housed in the incandescent-shaped shell consumers are used to and has an extremely low amount of mercury: 1 mg. CFLs typically contain 1.5 mg to 3.5 mg of mercury.

Lumentalk turns existing electrical wiring into a stable, noise-free high-speed communications link for data, enabling LED fixtures to be reliably controlled without additional wiring. Furthermore, the technology is protocol independent, making it compatible with common dimmer and control standards: Triac, 0-10V, DALI, DMX, ELV.

Lumentalk enables traditional lighting systems to be upgraded to Led linear high bay light without the cost and hassle of opening up walls and ceilings to rewire for data – leading to a dramatic 30% reduction in total installation cost.

Market demand for LED lightings in Japan has actually shown considerable growth potential, as the Japanese news agency kyodo News led high bay light reports that scale of the market is expected to surge 69% yearly to JPY373.8 billion this year, and then mount further to JPY460 billion in 2020.

Aside from Delta, some Taiwanese LED suppliers, including Epistar, Unity Opto Technology Co., Everlight and Opto Tech Corp., are also likely to benefit from the uptrend in the market.

 According to chairman of Sinocon Industrial Standards Foundation of Taiwan, R.L. Chen, LED lighting, solar energy, and 3D glasses projector are set to be on the top of the agenda at an upcoming annual meeting designed to set industry standards for Taiwan and mainland China. The setting common standards would help strengthen the industries on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait when competing with South Korean manufacturers.

Chen pointed out that Taiwanese and Chinese representatives attend the 2012 meeting, which is to be held sometime in the second half of this year in Hunan Province of the mainland, decided to designate setting standards for the three industries as the top priorities at the led linear high bay light after consulting with specialists in these fields. The two sides will announce details of the common standards to be set in the upcoming meeting, at the end of this year.

the job creation promised is not maintained during the term of the agreement

The 10-year agreement with Aurora provides waivers and rebates of taxes up to $208,703. The agreement contains a provision for the company to repay a portion of the incentive if the job creation promised is not maintained during the term of the agreement.

Cooper also must meet the requirements for led high bay light average county wage of $42,172 a year. The company's average salary will beat that by about 10 percent, said Yuriy Gorlov, economic development manager for the Aurora EDC.

Traxon Technologies, a global leader in solid state lighting and control systems, today announced that is has been named a winner in the second annual Production Innovation Awards (PIA), presented by Architectural SSL Magazine. A testament to its industry leadership and innovative technologies, Traxon Technologies received awards in two categories, “Best Renovation/Retrofit using SSL” and “Cove/Linear/Wall Wash.”

the introduction of four new LED module products

Lighting's full range of Infusion led high bay light will be shown at Light+Building, one of the world's largest trade fairs for lighting and intelligent buildings, carrying the Zhaga logo based on the modules being designed to the approved Zhaga 'Book 5' specification for Socketable Light Engines with Separate Electronic Control Gear. The Zhaga Consortium creates specifications aimed at ensuring the interchangeability of LED light sources from different manufacturers.

These specifications are the path forward for LED modules and fixtures that can truly transform the way we light commercial and residential spaces," says John Strainic, global product general manager, GE Lighting. "Lighting designers and specification professionals around the world now have more freedom to think big because GE and the industry have progressed toward standards established by the Zhaga Consortium."

Lighting is also extending the range with the introduction of four new LED module products: a module for downlight applications, a modular system for creating high-intensity narrow beams, a new format spotlight engine based on Zhaga specification in 'Book 3', and a high lumen option. All have been designed with new interchangeable light engine specifications recently approved by the Zhaga Consortium.

In addition to the extended Infusion LED module range, GE Lighting also will launch its range of Lumination led linear high bay light, new state-of-the-art luminaires, which will embody Infusion? modules.

allowing customers to adjust brightness according to their lighting needs

The AR111-00 Series glows for more than 35,000 hours on only 12 watts of power, making it an energy-saving solution for indoor commercial illumination. With high luminous flux of 720 lm at 3000K and 810 lm at 6000K, the LED spotlights provide ample light, sufficient for agricultural purposes. Non-dimmable spotlights are available, as well as dimmable tri-AC ones, allowing customers to adjust brightness according to their lighting needs.

No mercury, lead or other hazardous materials are used in FZLED lighting solutions. The spotlights produce no UV, IR or heat emissions, making them a green alternative to traditional AR111 halogen lamps. Using a standard G53 base, the AR111 Series can replace traditional power-hungry lamps without sacrificing powerful illumination.

After the capital increase and share transfer,Radiant formally became the Holdings subsidiary of Unillumin.

we expect to isolate the inferior products and badly run companies

Apart from these credentials, there are optional certifications from the China Quality Certification Center (CQC), Product Safety Certification of the China Solid State Lighting Alliance (CSA), the led high bay light Product Safety and Quality Certification of TÜV Rheinland, the US Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Electromagnetic Interference standard certification and a host of other accreditation standards.

With the gradual fall in the price of LED lighting products, they’ve become a firm part of indoor and outdoor lighting markets.  However, the inconsistent quality of lighting remains problematic,” said the head of the Green Lighting Shanghai Project Team. “LED lights are more popular in Europe and North America than in Asia.  These Western markets have high barriers to entry, due to their strict technological and safety standards.  Several new compulsory lighting standards will take effect in 2012, which we expect to isolate the inferior products and badly run companies.

From 2013, the EU will enforce the standards of the human body electromagnetic radiation safety norms.  The Union has set multiple compulsory requirements for LED lamps.  These include CE-LVD (Conformité Européenne - Low Voltage Directive), which detects LVD in LED products.  Also among new requirements is the CE-EMC (Conformité Européenne - Electromagnetic Compatibility) which tests ElectroMagnetic Compatibility Directives (EMCD). Furthermore, if the products receive the GS (Geprüfte Sicherheit – Tested Safety) and PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon) certification, as well as other quality accreditations, they can then be sold at higher prices, due to being more attractive to, and trusted by, consumers.

North American market should also meet the requirements of electric safety, electromagnetic compatibility and power consumption. The new listing standards for solid-state lighting lamps and light source products issued by the US Environmental Protection Agency (How to buy led high bay light) in October 2011 will come into compulsory effect this April.  LM-80, a method of measuring Lumen depreciation of LED Light sources, is seen as the passport into the American market.  In the future, unverified LED packaging and crystal grain plants will struggle to penetrate the US market.

the facility would fill a gap for Osram in China

Osram only has production sites for the semiconductor-based technology in Regensburg, Germany, and Penang, Malaysia. So the facility would fill a gap for Osram in China, the world’s largest led linear high bay light market at 8 billion euros ($10.6 billion). The company said that it appointed Samuel Wu, a Chinese native who last ran Honeywell International Inc. (HON)’s process solutions business in China, to oversee operations in Asia.

So far, Osram employs about 8,000 people in China, including at an assembly plant for retrofit bulbs using LEDs in Shaoxing, China. It predicts the Chinese lighting market will more than double by 2020. And the scheduled China LED Plant may help it consolidate industry status.

The Longest Furniture Store on the Eastern Shore!' is found in Laurel, Del., where Johnny Janosik has served customers with "the shortest prices" since 1953. When management aimed at all-new LED illumination for its 180,000-square-foot facility, GE Lighting hit the mark with energy-efficient led high bay light that will yield $100,000 yearly electricity savings while setting a proper tone for showroom merchandise.

"Cost reductions are always appreciated of course, but color rendition was a bigger concern for us," said David Koehler, CEO of Johnny Janosik. "If lighting doesn't reflect the hue of a fabric for instance, it's a problem when we deliver the customer's sofa and are told, 'That doesn't look anything like what I saw in the store!' Light, linen and dark cherry wood finishes are also particularly sensitive to proper lighting."

the installed LEDs means that colours are rendered more accurately

Lighting’s LEDs have a longer life than sodium lights, and can last between 12 to 15 years. Over the same period, the Sodium fittings that were previously fitted to the bridge had to be changed three to four times. The white led high bay light produced by the installed LEDs means that colours are rendered more accurately. This provides improved visibility and enhances the effectiveness of security cameras.

However, aside from switching off for Earth Hour just for the night, we can take some measures for the long run. It is estimated lighting accounts for roughly 19 per cent of energy used globally, and some industry players say consumers and companies can bring that number down substantially by using energy efficient lighting solutions such as LEDs.

In a word, Earth Hour is not just anniversary that make people remind of the crisis of climate change, we should put this awareness into practice in every moment such as phasing out the ineffective lightings and adopt eco-friendly LED lights. The more green actions we take, the less energy we consume, so that we can create a more sustainable planet.

Lighting, together with its Australian partner UGL Limited, has secured a A$7 million project through a tender to replace about  6,450 street and park lights in the City of Sydney over the next three years. In an Australian first, the City of Sydney will roll-out new energy-efficient led linear high bay light and park lighting, halving electricity use and carbon pollution compared to conventional lights. UGL Limited, headquartered in Australia, is a global leader in outsourced engineering, asset management and property services.

the delegation will promote products from Taiwan

Lucas Chiu, president of Speed Tech's unit Speed Tech Energy, is presently leading a delegation to survey the investment environment, in particular in the green energy sector in the Latin American country. And the delegation will promote products from Taiwan.

During the visit, Chiu's delegation has also met with Republic of China Ambassador Jose Maria Liu. In Liu’s opinion, while the Paraguay government hopes more Taiwan companies will invest in the country, the long distance between the diplomatic allies and the language barrier have prevented many local investors from moving ahead.

However, the ambassador said the Speed Tech delegation's visit is expected to help Taiwan companies have a better understanding of the Latin American country, adding he believes Paraguay is full of opportunities in green energy business development.

According to AcBel, two large-sized Chinese LED lighting suppliers have accepted its LED indoor and outdoor lighting products, and they will contract it as a production arm to jointly explore the Chinese market in the near future. Therefore, it will help AcBel to build a considerable outlet for its LED lighting products.

With Braemar’s existing portfolio and network in the LED and lighting sector, their strategic partnership will be invaluable in helping Albeo better support the lighting needs of our customers. We look forward to continuing our current trajectory of growth and are excited about potential future opportunities.”

Freemont, California based company Group4 Labs, has developed an agreement with Alfred University researchers to develop a sacrificial substrate to support the firm's GaN-on-Diamond technology, aiming at improving efficiencies in solid state lighting and advance the sensing and communication industries.

The project will be overseen by two Inamori Professors of materials science in the Kazuo Inamori School of Engineering at AU, S.K. Sundaram and Scott Misture. And they are to develop a substrate material for Group4 Lab’s novel technology which combines diamond and semiconductors to extract heat rapidly, efficiently, passively, and cost-effectively.

Sundaram pointed out that the micron-sized diamond coating is first applied to a sacrificial substrate. When the sacrificial substrate is removed, the diamond coating will then serve as the substrate for further processing of the semiconductor coating.

LED products made in China need to be able to take the lead in lighting quality

At the Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) in the Yangtze River Delta – one of China's most influential business locations – future Chinese led high bay light experts will be trained in the latest semiconductor technology and manufacturing processes. The AIXTRON center will be able to draw upon the collaborative synergies between exceptional industrial and institutional research and also offers a very high quality of training.

"In order to achieve China’s aim of global LED leadership, LED products made in China need to be able to take the lead in lighting quality, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. I believe that this cooperative arrangement will make a significant contribution toward achieving these goals," said a spokesperson for SINANO. "One of the new facility’s main priorities will be to provide Chinese customers with the depth of process knowledge they need in order to optimize their devices."

“China is now playing a significant global role in the emergence of the LED lighting market through the extensive national and regional encouragement of LED applications.” AIXTRON's President & CEO Paul Hyland said in his speech. "At the new center, we will be able to proactively support our customers′ technology developments by utilizing the very latest AIXTRON technologies and by providing the highest quality training, not only in the field of LEDs but also in other nanotechnology areas, including GaN-on-Si." The cooperative agreement with SINANO will facilitate the full process and characterization of LEDs, the technical properties of which are essential to lighting product quality.

II-XL and AIX G5 HT systems and will be held in a production cleanroom environment, laboratories, and classroom training facilities that occupy a total area of 350 sqm. "We will focus on the most critical factors in the manufacturing process, which will enable operators of led linear high bay light facilities to achieve better system utilization times and higher yields, thereby reducing their operating costs – our focus will be on operational efficiency, maintenance routines, process optimization and fab management," announced Dr. Nicolas Muesgens, Director of the AIXTRON Training and Demonstration Center. "In Suzhou, we will offer intensive, science-based, hands-on training courses to small groups, led by AIXTRON's highly qualified and experienced engineers."

with experts from different countries speaking on the lighting industry standards

The International Commission on Illumination-Taiwan (CIE-Taiwan) is a country-level member of CIE that focuses on scientific issues concerning light, lighting, colors while taking part in, or dominating, international standard-making processes in this regard. Since its inception more than a year ago, led high bay light has been committed to the globalization of Taiwanese standards, hoping to provide local lighting companies with opportunities to shine on the internationally accepted standard platform. The annual meeting of CIE-Taiwan will take place on March 14 at the venue of TILS, with experts from different countries speaking on the lighting industry standards.

The organizers of TILS 2012 will partner with the Industry Technology Research Institute (ITRI) to launch on March 14 a cross-strait forum on the lighting industry, where companies from Taiwan and China are expected to share experiences in a brain-storming session centered on the development of a cross-strait LED lighting industry. The forum will hopefully shed light on technological advances and business opportunities in the cross-strait lighting market.

A not-to-be-missed part of this year’s TILS is a special area dedicated to the Innovation Products Awards nominees, a platform for local companies to showcase the results of their R&D programs.

Designed on the basis of aesthetics and energy-efficiency intelligence, these creative products are available for a free trial on the spot. You won’t be disappointed!

the same coefficient of thermal expansion as sapphire

In the most commonly used process for the production of blue spectrum chips- including white LEDs -gallium nitride-based semiconductor layers (GaN) are grown on sapphire substrate (Al2O3) using epitaxial growth methods like MOCVD. A metallic wafer, intended for the dissipation of heat, is then bonded to the semiconductor layers at high temperatures using various joining technologies. Stresses caused by different coefficients of thermal expansion can lead to cracks in the semiconductor layers. To prevent these defects, the led high bay light metal wafersubstrate ideally possesses the same coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) as sapphire.

Molybdenum is commonly used for suchwafer substrates. This material offers good thermal conductivity and is very heat-resistant. However, molybdenum has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than sapphire (Al2O3). That’s why PLANSEE developed wafer substrates made from the molybdenum-copper composite material R670 especially for sapphire-based and high temperature-bonded LED chips. R670 has a thermal conductivity of 170 W/mK and, with 6.7 ppm/K, the same coefficient of thermal expansion as sapphire (Al2O3).

PLANSEE can supply Mo-Cu wafer substrates with coatings made from nickel-gold, ruthenium, chromium, silver and other interface materials. These coatings protect the wafer substrate against corrosion and optimize its surface properties for the subsequent bonding process.

As one of the world's leading manufacturers of refractory metals and composite materials, PLANSEE supplies metallic wafer substrates for heat dissipationand also numerous other components for the production of LED chips and led linear high bay light packages. These include furnace components and molybdenum and tungsten crucibles for sapphire single crystalgrowth, components for MOCVD/MBE reactors, evaporationboats and coils for metallic mirror or barrierlayers and base platesfor improved thermal managementof high-power LEDs.

the government has to pursue an energy and industry policy to address such weakness

Taiwan government has designated the green-energy industry, notably photovoltaic and LED sectors, as one of the six emerging industries to be led high bay light fostered and will set strategies to develop in line with Taiwan’s economic development.

Taiwan’s LED industry generated revenue totaling NT$184.6 billion (US$6.1 billion) in 2011, and leads the world in output volume. And besides the LED and photovoltaic sectors, Taiwan’s green-energy industry overall generated revenue of NT$410 billion (US$13.6 billion) in 2011. Over the past five years beginning 2007 Taiwan’s photovoltaic industry has tripled its revenue from NT$53.5 billion (US$1.78 billion), with the island’s LED industry having nearly quadrupled its revenue from NT$64 billion (US$2.1 billion) over the past four years starting 2008, said Ma.

Ma pointed out that the island’s foreign trade revenue in 2011 create a new record of US$5,899 billion, mostly replies on foreign sources for 99% of energy supplies. As a result, the government has to pursue an energy and industry policy to address such weakness.

Additionally, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has implemented a green-energy project to further upgrade the island’s photovoltaic and led linear high bay light LED industries, as part of the administration’s

It hosts the annual California Avocado Festival

I like the results very much,” said Matthew Roberts, director of the city’s Parks and Recreation Department that installed and maintains the led high bay light. “The LEDtronics lamps fit into the existing light fixtures with only minor modifications and look great. I think the consensus is that the new bulbs produce fewer glares, are easier on the eyes, and have a very appropriate color temperature for our needs.”
The Santa Barbara County city is a coastal community of 13,040, with small-town charm, beautiful beaches and breathtaking mountain views. It hosts the annual California Avocado Festival.

“All of the lights installed so far have worked as promised,” says Roberts. “It’s great to know our streetlight electrical meters are turning more slowly, saving tax dollars. It’s also nice to know the products were assembled in the USA.” The product was designed and engineered at the LED tronics factory in Southern California.

The project started in early 2010, when the city began to study the conversion of pendant street lights in its downtown area to led linear high bay light that are more energy-efficient, cast a more natural warm light and reduce light pollution. They looked for solutions that were cost-effective, more environmentally friendly and also more night-sky friendly.

Carpinteria’s lighting efficiency project is in line with the California Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan, which holds the state’s local governments to be leaders in energy efficiency by 2020, both for their own facilities and throughout their communities. The city so far has replaced over 90% of its traditional street lights with LEDs.

LED panels that are usually used in commercial ceiling fixtures

Amongst the latest cars and stars at this year’s Autosport International, a UK engineering company is shedding some light on the kind of innovations that could help the motorsport industry tackle the challenge of its environmental impact.

Working in conjunction with LED specialists OCG Lighting, this weekend Showtrax International will unveil a prototype powerhood fitted with LED panels that are usually used in commercial ceiling fixtures.A world-leading supplier of pit lane equipment, Showtrax have been commissioned to design and build powerhoods for a number of motor racing teams, including Formula 1 teams.

Powerhoods are suspended above the race car in the garage or awning and provide illumination, as well as electrical power and pneumatic air outlets. Fluorescent tubes are traditionally used as the primary source of light but these were prone to failure due to transport vibrations.“We were finding that by the time we unpacked the powerhoods after transit several of the tubes failed to start and had to be changed”, explained Showtrax Managing Director Andy Britnell. “Sending out replacement tubes was a costly solution so we looked at alternative technologies.”

LED technology is a great leap forward in energy-efficient lighting for our customers

Originally modeled after the Department of Energy’s (DOE) ENERGY STAR? program for solid-state lighting products, the QPL covers categories that ENERGY STAR doesn’t include in its program. Each of the products listed on the QPL must be a high-performing commercial LED product and must meet the DLC's minimum performance requirements. The program requires a third-party independent evaluation from product test reports by accredited labs as evidence of performance, including efficacy and color with LM-79 reports and lumen lifetime with luminaire operating temperature and LM-80 reports.

Without a comprehensive plan for evaluating commercial LED products in the absence of a national standard, DesignLights? Consortium Qualified Product List can be an invaluable resource for energy efficiency commercial programs. "LED technology is a great leap forward in energy-efficient lighting for our customers, and the DesignLights Consortium plays an important role in advancing market transformation," said Weiner.

“Cooper Lighting is committed to supporting energy efficiency programs that improve our economy and the environment,” said Mark Eubanks, President, Cooper Lighting. “The DesignLights Consortium Qualified Products List saves time and brings confidence to lighting specifiers and property owners that they are selecting high-performing, energy-efficient, reliable products eligible for participating incentive programs across the United States, Canada and other countries.”

When these incandescent bulbs get phased out in the next year

The demonstration project is intended to test the lights’ performance in windy and low-light conditions. “We’re not really worried about the panels charging,” said ODOT project manager Paul Christiansen. “We think that will be fine.” The real concern is how the lights will hold up in led linear lighting winds. The original lights have yet to be removed. “I’ve heard the plan is to remove the electrical system when we’re sure the solar-powered [system] will work,” Christiansen said.

According to Electrician Steve Benz, they are putting on an energy efficient clinic just educating the customers on the benefits of fluorescent to incandescent and the new products, LED. Fluorescent and LED bulbs can last anywhere from 10 to 40 years. That's much longer than the average 6 months with the old incandescent bulbs. “When these incandescent bulbs get phased out in the next year or so we're going to see the prices down as far as LED and fluorescent," said Benz. Lighting experts say you have until 2014 until its lights out for incandescent bulbs.

In his opinion, 100 watt incandescent light bulbs will no longer be sold in August, and all sales of incandescent bulbs will be phased out gradually. However, he says it's been a hard transition trying to get people to see the light and try the new bulbs.

But people had many of their questions cleared up about fluorescents and LEDs when they took advantage of the free information booth this Saturday.The energy efficient clinics will continue each Saturday in January at 10 am.And as they spread the word, electricians say they hope bulb by bulb people will start shining the way to a more energy efficient future.

It would be very economical apart from providing better lighting

Manwani, a co-ordinator of 1972 batch, said LED tubelights and bulbs consume only 1/10 of the power consumed by tubelights and bulbs. In his opinion, by 2020 only tubelight made of LEDs would be used in the led high bay light country. The government is also promoting the LED lamps and lights. "The tubelights and the bulbs having LED as content would have a life of 15 years and cost around Rs 800. It would be very economical apart from providing better lighting."

According to an SEC filing, On Chip Power has added one more backer to the round, increasing the investor count from four to five. CEO Vanessa Green said previously that investors included Venrock and Arunas Chesonis, CEO of PAETEC Holding Corp.

On Chip is working on developing technology that would allow for a smaller, less costly power supply for LED bulbs, in an effort to help drive greater adoption of the energy-saving lighting option.Though there are a number of potential applications for the technology, OnChip has focused on trying to solve some of the problems related to LED light bulbs, which offer major savings on electricity but have yet to find widespread adoption.According to him, the company will see revenue climb quarter by quarter after hitting the bottom in the first quarter of 2012.
