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.

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.

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.
