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.

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.

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.
