with clients to expand LED lighting markets for both sides

The agreement with Cnlight is TSMC SSL’s first official customer collaboration and marks the company's first into the China lighting market. Going forward, the company will focus on building technically innovative LED products and processes as well as building firm partnership with clients to expand LED lighting markets for both sides.

Five design projects that received Architectural Lighting magazine’s Ninth Annual Light & Architecture Design Awards incorporated lighting solutions from Acuity Brands, Inc. (NYSE: AYI). These awards recognize lighting design excellence in residential, interior, exterior, whole building and exhibit lighting applications. Projects featuring Acuity Brands® lighting solutions received recognition for outstanding and commendable achievement in the whole building and exterior lighting categories.

An independent panel of judges awarded prizes to the winning projects based on the complexity of the project program and the lighting solutions applied. This year’s panel of judges included renowned lighting professionals who are members of the Illuminating Engineering Society and the International Association of Lighting Designers.

MHA Lighting developed the TiLite luminaire for projects within the NHS to help trusts future proof their existing buildings against infection controls, whilst providing them with an energy efficient solution.

Key outcomes suggested that UV LEDs were not merely replacing LEDs

Over 120 delegates from the semi-conductor, UV chemistry formulation and system integration industries as well as end users attended the one-day event where 9 separate speakers struck a good subject balance among core technical state-of-the-art applications, how to integrate LEDs, and respective chemistry.

The top three rated presentations covered die technology and production as well as the economics and end markets for UV LED curing.  Presentations were complemented by two expert panel Q&A sessions, a sponsor exhibition including 15 table top displays, a luncheon and an evening cocktail reception.

Key outcomes suggested that UV LEDs were not merely replacing LEDs but opening new market opportunities for a technology that was ‘going from strength to strength’.

the positive psychological impact of which is well documented

Reduced energy consumption is particularly important in areas of the hospital that, due to health and safety, must be lit for 24 hours a day, such as washrooms and car parks. Light Planet’s LED floodlights, which are fitted in the car park, operate at only 49W and offer a very high-quality light output and a life-span of approximately 7 years. Compared with the previous traditional 150W fixtures that need replacing every 2 years, this product alone facilitates a major reduction in energy and maintenance bills and has achieved a saving of around £17,000.

The benefits that LED technology offers in terms of hygiene and patient care are also important drivers for adoption in this sector. For example, the LED edge-lit ceiling panels installed at Royal Sussex County Hospital have a single flat surface that makes them much easier to clean than conventional four-tube fluorescent fittings. Furthermore, the clearer, whiter and more natural light output of LEDs offers a more comfortable environment for patients and staff alike and mimics daylight, the positive psychological impact of which is well documented.

With improved patient experience, up to 68% less power consumption and over 50,000 hours continual use, the financial and environmental benefits of an LED retrofit programme are clear. Barry Kearton, PFI Estates Manager, Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Trust, certainly sees the advantages: “The LED retrofit has delivered not only the cost savings that we hoped to achieve but has also made a valuable contribution towards reducing our energy consumption in line with the Trust’s low-carbon ambitions.”

Marl International aims to help customers waste less light with a new Lighting Scheme Design service that provides specific recommendations on the best energy efficient LED lighting to use inside and outside buildings, car parks or industrial sites. The service is being launched at the LuxLive exhibition in Earls Court, London, from 6-7 November 2012 (Stand E02).

lighting applications in the entertainment

The combination of the these multi-color LED arrays together with the proprietary TRR technology from Wavien, provides low-cost, high-output solutions for spot lights, moving heads, and other lighting applications in the entertainment and projection markets.

Wavien's TRR technology recaptures light lost in standard optical system back to the output of the system, transforming it back into useable light. The normally wasted colored light from each LED is captured by the TRR reflector and reflected back to the same LED for recycling by its unique optical properties. As a result, each colored LED recycles the wasted light independently with increased brightness. Although brightness improvements are dependent on color, an output improvement, as high as 100%, can be achieved.

"Wavien continues to advance the LED light recycling technology and offers outstanding brightness by recovering and recycling high angle light from the LED that is normally wasted with traditional LED coupling systems," stated Dr. Kenneth Li, President and CEO of Wavien, Inc., who is also the inventor of the recycling technology. Dr. Li added: "This new TRR technology invention further improves brightness of many entertainment lighting systems currently using Luminus Color Mix LEDs and pico-projector systems using Ostar LEDs."

This performance improvement is provided by adding a simple TRR reflector with an aperture to standard multi-color LED packages. The diameter of the aperture, which determines the amount of recycling, and the total size of the reflector can be scaled to meet the user's needs.

The next step is to further reduce the dimensions

The run up and dimming behaviour of HID lamps has been significantly improved by implementing new electronic control processes and a special filling blend. The colour appearance here remains constant. Improved ignition characteristics also ensure that the new HID lamps can be switched as quickly as energy saving lamps for example. The housing dimensions are compact despite such modifications so that HID lamps can be flexibly integrated into differing applications with low effort, thus also becoming suitable for everyday use. The next step is to further reduce the dimensions.

All successful HID and LED test results will be transferred in the forthcoming SEEL project sequence from the laboratory into the demonstration phase to achieve even better adaptation to real operating conditions. These technologies in the near future may consequently lead to new products for general and automotive lighting.

Charles Lemaire, one of the original inventors noted on all four patents in this lawsuit has also been credited with patents for Lockheed Martin, Nuance Communications and other major companies.
  
LED Tech, whose place of business is Tyler Texas, has filed a formal complaint with the court in Delaware against Apple for patent infringement involving four of their patents that they describe as being "patents by assignment." The patents involved in the case include 6,095,661, 7,393,119, 6,808,287 and 6,488,390.

LED Street Lights with installations along a section of one of the busiest boulevards in Colombo

Nick Holonyak is a national treasure,” notes Gotti. “His curiosity and drive to explore and invent have inspired thousands of students and countless innovations. It’s breathtaking to consider the widespread and profound impact of ‘the magic one’ that Nick Holonyak brought to life 50 years ago.”

Viper Networks, Inc. has entered into a formal understanding after discussions with the Mayor of Colombo, Sri Lanka, and other top officials to initiate a sixty (60) day pilot program for testing Apollo Metro Solutions' LED Street Lights with installations along a section of one of the busiest boulevards in Colombo, the metropolis of Sri Lanka.

The primary purpose of the short-term project is to review operational functions and confirm installation procedures for the LED Street Light lamp and housing unit under varying light output scenarios. The installation aspect of the pilot project will also help determine the workforce needed for the city of Colombo to change out existing lamps with the new LED street lights.

Shortly after the successful completion of the pilot project, the Company anticipates LED street light order deliveries will be determined in quarterly or semi-annual stages based on the city's work personnel (installation) capabilities.
