Many small LED lighting companies are suffering and may not see light at the end of the tunnel," said Wei Li, board secretary of Dongguan Kingsun Optoelectronic Co Ltd (002638.SZ), a leading Chinese LED street lighting manufacturer.
"There won't be so many enterprises five to 10 years from now," she told by phone from the firm's headquarters in the city of Dongguan in southern Guangdong province, an LED manufacturing centre.
Industry consolidation may temporarily disrupt the LED high bay light chain given 60 to 70 percent of China's capacity is built for exports, analysts say. But in the long run, the shakeout should lead to a healthier Chinese LED industry and hence better quality products.
Shares of the more than two dozen Chinese LED players listed in China and Hong Kong, some of which attracted private equity investment before their listings, have tumbled as their profits evaporated. Ledman Optoelectronic Co Ltd (300162.SZ) is down 48 percent from a March peak, and Shenzhen Unilumin Group Co Ltd 300232.SZ has lost 37 percent.

This event is all about ensuring a positive LED lighting user experience
Soraa will manage and run the testing using a custom-built testing panel comprised of an array of commonly used transformers and dimmers and Soraa’s 12VAC LED MR16 lamps. The panel can also accommodate participating companies’ transformers, dimmers, and 12VAC or 120VAC (E26 only) LED lamps or fixtures. Testing of components and fixtures at the PlugFest booth (Booth 746/748) will be available at no charge on a first come, first served basis on February 13th and 14th.
“Manufacturers benefit because Lighting PlugFest addresses compatibility—an obstacle to widespread LED lamp adoption; designers benefit because they can specify with confidence; and end users benefit because they will know that a particular product combination works,” said Eric Kim, CEO of Soraa. “This event is all about ensuring a positive LED lighting user experience.”
According to Ysewijn , Azzurro has spent about one year in preparation for volume production. LED makers can either procure Azzurro-made finished GaN-on-Si LED epitaxial wafers for LED chips, or procure Si-substrate wafers with GaN films for LED epitaxial wafers.
LED chips made from GaN-on-Si epitaxial wafers have a 5% lower luminous efficiency than LED chips made from sapphire wafers, however, the unit price of ERU0.20/(US$0.27) square cm for the former is lower than that of EUR0.30 for the latter, Ysewijn pointed out.

Marco photographers have been using that type of lighting for years
As we know, Google purchased Motorola Mobility and with that purchase came thousands of patents for mobile devices. A document posted online shown that there was one patent missing and Google has just applied for it. That patent was one for a multi-LED flash to be embedded on the back side of a smartphone, or tablet for that matter. The idea behind a multi-LED flash is so that a low light photo situation can have different levels of light and will create a better exposure for the photo.
Phones on the market today typically have one LED flash, or maybe a dual-LED flash, but nothing is available in the multi-LED sector. According to an online source, an image shows the LED flash would form a circle around the camera lens, while another image shows the LED flash above and below the camera lens, seemingly giving Google two options to develop the flash. Seeing the flash LED’s in a circle pattern is nothing new to photographers that have been using light rings for years to get better, more even exposure for images, but it is completely new in the smartphone game.
Marco photographers have been using that type of lighting for years and now that it might come to the smartphone market, it will open a whole new world when it comes to the quality of an image shot via a smartphone camera sensor. More light is almost always better than low light when it comes to images. Google is not saying whether they will reserve the patent for its own developing or if it will pass it along to the Motorola Mobility branch that they own. The patent could also be opened up for license fees to other companies, so Google has plenty of options.
Even though a company is granted the right to develop a new product, does not mean that they will be doing so anytime soon. It would be nice to see smartphones with some advancements in camera technology that does not only revolve around the megapixels the camera can produce. The new patent for Google could mean changes in the design for the Nexus brand smartphones and tablets, or it could mean a new look for some Droid handsets from Motorola. Motorola has a phone called the X phone that is one the list of to be released, but it is not clear if this technology will end up there or not.

LEDs but also includes daylight sensors to optimise the use of natural daylight
These LED products manufactured by Seesmart will be installed in retail stores, office complexes, warehouses and LED high bay light facilities within the first quarter of 2013. And Revolution Lighting Technologies expects to receive a second order totaling $5 million immediately thereafter.
According to Ken Ames, Director of Sales for Seesmart, “We are anticipating tremendous growth in 2013 as the millions of dollars of quotes in our pipeline begin to convert to sales. We have worked diligently in creating a solid network of 50 exclusive distributors and 300 representatives to educate the end-user about LED technology and its benefits.”
The company said that it has become the first supermarket in the world to install GE's new Lumination Linear Suspended lighting system, which not only takes advantage of highly efficient LEDs but also includes daylight sensors to optimise the use of natural daylight.
According to Sainsbury's, the new lighting will cut energy use by 59 per cent compared to conventional in-store lighting, delivering annual energy savings equivalent to that required to make 10 million cups of tea.The rollout is also expected to reduce maintenance costs and improve the shopping experience for customers by ensuring a uniform level of light across the store.

the solution specified will meet our expectation of exceptional lighting output
For the entrance signage, the Tetra miniMAXsignagesystemis a popular choice as it provides for miniature channel letter lighting for logo letters. It is also ideal for cove lighting, accent or border LED high bay light. The OptiLens maximizes the area of light coverage to produce outstanding uniformity. It also comes with easy mounting and an over-molded design which protects the components from moisture. Users have a choice of a full range of colors including white, warm white, red, blue and green.
With GE Lighting’s solution, D’Island Residence’s grounds will be well-illuminated while its entrance signage will enjoy great visibility. On an operating level, the estimated savings in terms of energy usage and maintenance costs amount to US$181,692 per annum. This translates to a payback period of about 5 years.From an environmental perspective, the energy savings is equivalent to eliminating approximately 507,000 lbs of carbon dioxide car emissions per year, or creating 62.8 acres of new trees.
Dato’ Lim Hock San, the Managing Director of LBS added:“D’Island Residence is a milestone project for our company and we place great importance on every detail to ensure that we offer the best living experience within a sustainable development. Quality illumination that is energy-efficient is a key consideration.
