the white light emitted from the lamp using an accessory remote control

Last year, Taiwan's LED industry posted an overall production value of NT$46 billion, the second largest in the world. Lighting applications accounted for over NT$10 billion. And LED back-lighting applications saw production value grow 109 percent from 2007.There are currently around 3,000 LED companies in mainland China, most of them mid- and downstream manufacturers and upstream manufacturers totalling only 25. The total production of the industry reached RMB70 billion in 2008.Jamie Fox, a market analyst at UK-based IMS research, said that the proliferation of notebook PCs backlit with LEDs will deliver annual revenues of $800 million to chip makers next year. He describes the ramp as "explosive.Dell has already publicly committed to using LEDs in all [of its] notebooks by 2010, and other manufacturers are also committed to a surge in LED notebook backlighting in 2009 and 2010," said Fox.

Fox is expecting the $200 million worth of last year to exponentially grow in 2009 and 2010, as the market for LEDs in notebooks doubles year-on-year.He also predicts that market penetration of LEDs in notebooks will reach 50 per cent by 2010, compared with 10 per cent in 2008. Notebooks typically require between 60 and 70 LED chips, he estimates.The one down side, according to the analyst, is that the market for LEDs used in notebook PCs will saturate rapidly after the next two or three years of explosive growth. And at that point, revenues from TV applications and general lighting are expected to ramp up quickly.LED Lamp features an Adjustable Color Function that enables users to change the color of the white light emitted from the lamp using an accessory remote control, an industry first for an LED lamp, according to the company. Users can select from seven different shades of white ranging from a warm white to a cooler daylight white to match the weather, the season, time of day, purpose, or other preferences. This model also features a built-in Dimmer Function to adjust brightness.

an industry first for an LED lamp, enabling the shade of the white light from the lamp to be changed from a pleasing warm white (equivalent to the light from a conventional incandescent lamp) to a cooler daylight white (equivalent to bright daylight) using an accessory remote control. The user can select his or her preferred shade of white according to the weather, season of the year, or time of day. For example, a user can select warm white during the winter or at dinnertime when a relaxing atmosphere is desired, or crisp cooler daylight white during the summer or in the morning for a refreshing wake-up. This model also features a built-in Dimmer Function, and together, these features enable users to enjoy a diverse range of illumination settings by changing the brightness and color of the white light using just one remote control. This lamp can also be used without the dimmer in the usual way.

this LCD module achieves its white light by mixing light generated

The global provider of enterprise and consumer biometric fingerprint solutions. UPEK authentication hardware and software are integrated into laptops from the world's top five largest PC makers, as well as USB flash drives, external hard disk drives, and mobile phones from leading manufacturers. UPEK's ecosystem of over 100 hardware and software partners enables strong authentication solutions for market verticals including healthcare, banking, education, and government.last week announced the development of a new amorphous-silicon color thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal led high bay light module that achieves an ultra-wide color gamut for 100 percent of the Adobe? RGB color range by incorporating a newly developed LED light-source unit into the backlight system and a newly developed color filter.

The white LED that serves as the light source for the backlight unit in this LCD module achieves its white light by mixing light generated through the irradiation of red, green, and blue phosphors with light from a near-ultraviolet LED chip (excitation), making it superior to traditional white LEDs in terms of color-rendering properties. Combining these newly developed white LEDs with newly developed color filters, optimized for this application, makes it possible to reproduce a wider range of colors covering 100 percent of the Adobe? RGB color range, which is generally beyond the reach of conventional standard white LEDs.

In recent years, there has been an increase in customer demand for LCD displays using white LEDs as light sources in backlight units due to the many benefits achieved with LED backlight systems versus cold-cathode-fluorescent-(CCFLs)-based backlights. Such benefits include smaller module dimensions, lighter-weight designs, and reduced power consumption. The LEDs are also mercury free and do not require the use of high-voltage circuitry, allaying concerns related to safety and the generation of harmonic currents and high-frequency noise. The LEDs offer superior vibration and shock resistance as well as superior characteristics with respect to low-temperature startup and a wider dimming range.

Unlike the Korean comany's 29.9mm-thin offerings, this Japanese concoction uses an A/V media box that communicates wirelessly with its full-HD LCD panel. In addition, the screen has a 10-bit color reproduction to render a billion discreet hues, plus Motionflow 100Hz and image blur reduction technology for smoother and sharper motion.However, as the KLV-40ZX1 was launched late last year, and only brought in to Singapore now, the model is outfitted with the older Bravia Engine 2 processing and 1080i-only wireless transmission capability. The latter's bottleneck may have a detrimental impact on playing back bandwidth-heavy 1080p Blu-ray movies. Additionally, this model lacks IDTV for receiving digital HD broadcasts and DLNA-compatibility for network multimedia streaming.

LED street lighting to reduce energy consumption by 50 percent or more

This component is YAHAM Opto Semiconductors' contribution to the trend of turning smartphones and tablet computers into universal remote controls, particularly for home entertainment electronics.  If the device is equipped with the appropriate infrared transmitter diode then the diode can be controlled with a suitable app. Whereas classic remote controls traditionally use radial infrared LEDs, this option is not an attractive one for slim smartphones and tablets. These need a low-profile SMT solution which can nevertheless operate over the required distance. Up to now, manufacturers have been using transmitters such as Midled, Mini Midled and Chipled. The powerful led high bay light 4140 is YAHAM Opto Semiconductors' latest addition to its portfolio of remote control transmitters, a no-compromise low-profile solution for which there will almost always be sufficient space.

Leveraging technology developed for its CCFL inverters and LED backlight drivers, ERG will be introducing a family of Smart Force LED drivers that combine full-function power supplies with energy-efficient controllers for commercial, industrial, architectural and other SSL applications.Additional features to be available include triac dimming, color temperature regulation, ambient light control and vacuum encapsulation for added durability. IP67, UL1310 Class 2 and other key regulatory approvals are pending. The drivers will be available as standard, off-the shelf product or in custom designs. ERG will maintain a full in-house engineering staff at its U.S. headquarters to meet virtually any special application requirement.



The company designs and manufactures its own magnetic components.  ERG originally introduced its Smart Force? line of buy led high bay light to provide full-function power supplies for LED-backlit LCDs, and has now broadened its LED driver capability to offer efficient and economical LED drivers for offline and DC powered solid state lighting applications ranging from 1W to 200W.In the 12-month pilot program, Chapel Hill has installed LED streetlights along the high-profile 100 block of Franklin Street, one of the town's most recognizable landmarks.

competing for local governments’ LED streetlight

Additionally, the ORCA four-pin lead-frame design has the ruggedness to withstand the ultimate of any abrasive surroundings. The LED will not be damaged or separated from electrical contact due to harsh environment. Unlike LEDs with two pins that rupture easily when heavy shock or vibration is experienced; Orca will consistently provide the highest dependability under the most rigorous situation.In spite of the led high bay light, the global LED streetlight market still poses unlimited business opportunities, said Delta chairman C.H Cheng without disclosing the company’s shipment volume and schedule. Early this year, the company unveiled 14 LED lighting products available for indoor and outdoor applications. And it will begin to ship 5.5-meter and 12-meter streetlights to Mainland China and Spain, the two most stressed market of Delta, some time this month at the earliest.

As China government has announced the program to install enormous number of LED streetlights in major cities, Taiwan`s institutional investors estimated the mainland LED-streetlight market to pose a perspective business opportunity of NT$600 billion (US$17.6 billion) a year. To win the presence in this gigantic market, the company has changed its rejective attitude to government contacts and begun competing for local governments’ LED streetlight bids.Delta has invested in upstream, middle-stream and downstream LED segments to furnish itself with integrated manufacturing capability to enter the LED streetlight market smoothly. And according to industry watchers, the company is operating a huge number of outlets worldwide and has set up good relationships with the local governments.

ITRI is offered safety requirements included in UL Subject 8750 draft for reference in the development of the module. The subject which was drafted in 2005 by UL, the No.1 electrical-appliance safety standard setter in North America, is based on full-fledged standards regulating general lighting equipment, and will likely become a guide for global led high bay light buyers once it becomes a formal standard.Among all the certificate applications UL Taiwan has received in lighting field, applications for certification on LEDs have account for half, according to Ralph Tang, general manager of UL Taiwan, suggesting that LEDs have become more and more generally adopted.

LED lamps which scatter light around the spot directly under the lamp

Its mission is to promote productivity excellence through the provision of integrated support across the value chain of Hong Kong firms, in order to achieve a more effective utilization of resources, to enhance the value-added content of products and services, and to increase international competitiveness.Though most companies have avoided large capital expenditures under the led high bay light sluggish global economy, many are eager to slash their energy costs and save on maintenance, and LED lighting is receiving more and more concern with its lower power consumption and longer life than market-dominant light sources, said Swoboda.When you look at energy efficiency, there aren't many things that can have as big an opportunity in the near term as switching to more efficient lighting," said Swoboda in the interview with Reuters.

Small to medium-sized lighting projects are still increasing at a relatively reasonable rate, said Swoboda, with local franchises of fast-food restaurants and small retail chains continuing to upgrade their spaces. As the price of LEDs are much higher than their traditional counterparts, it will take some time for the companies adopting this new light source to make the money back from saving of energy. According to Swoboda, the payback can take a time ranging from a little more than a year to around 4 years.YAHAM, a leading lighting maker based in Durham, North Carolina, has been a rare bright spot in the manufacturing market with a reported 24 percent revenue rise and a 62 percent earnings gain in its most recent quarter. And there are currently three major competitors for the company, Toyoda Gosei Co. Ltd in Japan and Nichia Corp, as well as YAHAM, a part of Siemens.

Only 18 percent of YAHAM’s revenue was from the United States last year. And the company has expected more dramatic change in revenue from markets like China, which made up 33 percent of sales last year. "It's not growing at the rate it was, but it has remained relatively solid," Swoboda said of the China market, which he said has "a bias toward LED lighting."Composed of convex lenses stacked on concave lenses, the lens unit mounted on the led high bay light chip of the new lamps serves to illuminate a wider area of a street. The concave lens has a function to horizontally widen the light (in the direction parallel to the street) while the convex lens focuses the light so that it intensively illuminates a certain area.With the function of the lens unit, the new lamps can intensively illuminate a wider area of a street, comparing with existing LED lamps which scatter light around the spot directly under the lamp.

the volume production of LED chips

With amazingly high contrast ratios and a thickness measuring in the millimeters, OLED TVs certainly look like the future of home theater. However, price is a major hurdle for the technology to overcome. While new technology always comes with a heavy price tag, some are expecting the price of OLED lighting to come down some time in 2011. The recent report predicts that active OLED lighting will become the mainstream in 2011, and its revenue will surpass that of passive LED lighting sometime around 2018.The report notes OLED lighting production is still in the sampling stage. General Electric, Konica Minolta, and Philips will start mass production in 2010 or 2011. Like any other technology, increased mass production and subsequent decrease in part costs leads to lower prices for the end user.

Hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in OLED lighting, especially in Europe, the US, and Japan, according to the report. Although OLED displays have been in mass production for about a decade, OLED lighting just started sampling and small volume production. This is due to the fact that OLED displays and OLED lighting face different challenges. It is important to point out that the OLED displays are passive OLED displays. Passive OLED technology is slower than active OLED, with the latter now being used in larger displays like TVs. Passive OLED displays can be found in smaller devices like phones and MIDs. With the price of active OLED tech coming down, expect to see larger OLED TVs on convention showfloors in the near future.It’s disclosed that the three CCS CRIUS systems were delivered in the 31x2 inch wafer configuration in the third and fourth quarter of 2008. Aqualite intends to utilize these reactors for the development and production of blue, green and white LED chips.

Indicated that they have researched the market place to identify the best equipment to match their requirements for the volume production of LED chips. AIXTRON’s MOCVD tools were the ideal match in several respects. Features that they particularly favor include the process versatility, reproducibility and the wafer-to-wafer and run-to-run uniformity.YAHAM Lighting’s highest power, white LED yet, the Vio 7.2, also available in 1.2W and 3.6W, provides industry leading light quality and stability with light outputs of up to 350 lumens. Combining GE’s proprietary violet-chip with remote multi-phosphor technology, the Vio provides more stable colour than regular blue chip/yellow phosphor LED technology with low part-to-part colour variation. Plus it is diffused for a pleasing, more uniform light similar to a soft white incandescent lamp.

measurement applications for jewelry grading

Lumex notes the QuantumBrite family represents a new generation of backlight technologies, ideal not only for traditional applications such as flat panel displays and indicator lighting, but also for non-traditional applications, such as logo enhancement or indirect lighting. Now homeowners can have led high bay light panels installed in walls, reducing the need for floor lamps and introducing an innovative contemporary element into their living space. The QuantumBrite line of backlight products can also be used for non-traditional uses such as refrigerator walls, test and measurement applications for jewelry grading or microscopes.

Yasoob Ahmed, Manager of Display Technology at Lumex said whereas many LED backlight providers often require a 50,000 or 100,000 piece minimum order for customized LED backlight solutions, customized QuantumBrite backlight solutions can be completed for orders as small as 5,000 pieces, making this an ideal product and service for high-value, small volume applications such as medical devices, security equipment and industrial controls.In addition to high-intensity light performance, what differentiates the QuantumBrite family of LED backlight technology is the fact that U.S.-based team of specialists is available to provide expert system advice integrating a customer’s specifications for size, power and heat-management requirements, mounting needs, brightness targets and color selection to create a solution that is custom tailored to meet specific application needs, he added.

The QuantumBrite edge lit LED backlights are available in both with- and without-reflector formats. The reflector format captures more light than does the without-reflector format, and can enhance light output up to 20%.The RoHS compliant QuantumBrite led high bay light range in size from 1x1 inch to10x10 inches. Samples of these devices are available from stock, with custom production quantities in 6-8 weeks and standard production quantities in 4-6 weeks. Pricing is dependent on quantity ordered, and is approximately $1 to $20 per unit in production quantities dependent on size, color and quantity ordered.

We company supplies a wide range of led high bay light

The company’s success is likely due to its genesis: "We differ from pure LED makers for we began as a traditional lighting-fixture manufacturer who has evolved into an LED maker. So we know what a retailer of traditional lighting fixtures need in terms of LEDs than would pure LED makers. A lighting-fixture supplier sees an LED lamp as a mere fixture with, not an incandescent light bulb or compact fluorescent bulb, but an led high bay light source," he says.Pure LED-lamp makers, he notes, have delusions of grandeur: always investing considerable capital, manpower in R&D just to stroke their own egos in an attempt to create glamorous LED lamps. "They fail to see, however, such products are affordable to only upscale consumers but not so to traditional lighting-fixture suppliers and budget-conscious users.

"Knowing the decisive importance of the bottom-line, Neo Neon insists that a good LED lamp delivers quality lighting at a popular price," Cheng comments. Armed with such street-smarts, the company, Cheng notes, positions itself as a mid-to low-range supplier but targets marketing to low-end consumers, which inevitably also attracts upmarket users. "Competition in downmarket is usually crowded. But we offset losses in the low-end of markets with better profits made upmarket, while we usually increase market shares by selling low-priced products," he says. And the company supplies a wide range of led high bay light,LED streetlights, flood lamps to Christmas lights, a strategy allowing it to meet a cross-section of demands.

Which roughly doubles the accuracy obtainable with incumbent indirect solutions that measure the junction temperature of the silicon in the IC and then extrapolate the temperature at the LED. Alternatively, for solutions that rely on an external temperature sensor, the LED-Sense(tm) reduces system cost and complexity. Based on the measurement, the led high bay light drive current is then optimized according to a user-programmed profile. The engine continuously monitors the LED, with each measurement cycle taking less than 200 microseconds per LED.

LED portfolio in the consumer segment

It’s reported that French Center for Building Science and Technology (CSTB), major French academic lighting laboratories and the French branch of Philips Lighting has formed a R&D program to research and promote the optimal use of LEDs in buildings.The CITADEL program will develop measurement protocols and benchmarking analyses of LEDs, and methods to assess the aging and life expectancy of LED lighting products, according to Christophe Martinsons, head of the Lighting, Electricity and Electromagnetism Division of the CSTB.Usha Shriram's mission is to position its LED portfolio in the consumer segment and launch them at more compelling rates than the compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) range. LED lighting products are more energy efficient than CFL items.

Usha Shriram assistant vice president S. S. Sandhu said LED lighting products will be launched in 2009-10. They are studying the market and talking to LED lighting product makers across Europe to import and market them under their brandname.Mr Sandhu noted LED products are largely used in the commercial segment. But they plan to price them in a manner to position them as an alternative to CFL.The LED lighting product market is still at a nascent stage in India. As per industry estimates, its share is some 2-3% in the Rs 5,000 crore Indian lighting industry. Usha Shriram entered the lighting business two years ago as a future growth driver with CFL products. The company's primary revenue source is still small appliances like water purifier, juicer, mixer and water heaters.

Company President and Chief Executive Officer Alan Ruud says the collapse of the construction industry forced the actions. He says the company is restructuring and the layoffs are considered permanent.The privately owned Ruud Lighting, 9201 Highway 20, makes lighting fixtures for commercial, industrial, institutional and residential settings. The dearth of construction work during the recession has sapped sales, Ruud says.

other factors because it had shown promising results to date

The LED lamps were purchased from Maine-based Eco-Story. Most of the company's LED bulbs sell for between $45 and $85. According to Smith, Orvis expects to recoup its costs on the lamps in a little under a year and may expand the use of LED lamps to its flagship stores and other retail stores in its chain. Orvis has made a commitment to carbon neutrality by 2020 because many believe that manmade carbon waste in the atmosphere is creating global warming.Efficiency Vermont Senior Project Manager Dan Mellinger said the independent nonprofit was "not necessarily supporting (led high bay light) across the board" but wanted to continue to test their performance, the lamps' longevity and other factors because it had shown promising results to date.

Citizen uses its original multi chip technology for producing single LED’s with high performance and reliability. In addition to other benefits Citizen LED’s will also significantly reduce the overall manufacturing cost by reducing the component count on each light device. One of their LEDs have also been tested at Junction Temperature =120 deg C for 20,000 hours and have brightness of above 93.7%.Lynk Labs AC LED technology is now being integrated into products by a number of OEMs in various markets.

The President of SCI Mr. Vick Aggarwala, who is a veteran in the electronics business for more than 33 years, said with increasing environmental concerns and costs the world is set to embrace the LED technology for all the lighting requirements. They are very excited to be in partnership with Citizen to spear head the LED based product development in the ASEAN region. They will provide all technical support necessary for developing the long life LED lighting products.This could one day lead to maximizing led high bay light system efficiency by tuning a BriteDriver AC LED power supply to match the RLC components of a specific LED or light engine. The result could enable up to 98% system efficiency, according to Lynk.

lighting emitters are growing

The technology has been used on emitters for backlight modules, automobile lamps, architectural indoor and outdoor lights, signage boards, and commercial lights. The company’s EHP-L02N emitters boast junction-to-sink temperature of only three degrees centigrade per watt. The emitters come in warm-white and white types, with the former giving off luminous flux of 500lm and the led high bay light. The emitters have been built into 20W and 25W streetlights. The 20W light generates 1,100 lumens at 1.8 ampere and the 25W light gives off 1,300 lumens at 2.2A.

With some unique packaging technology, the company’s EHP AX08 family of single-chip 10W emitters boasts efficiency of over 80lm per watt at 350mA. Thermal resistance is blow 15 degrees centigrade per watt. In addition to ceramic, the company also uses aluminum as packaging substrate. Both are good thermal-conductivity materials. To illustrate the power of its emitters, Everlight is demonstrating its Dolphin SL family of LED streetlights, which are equipped with its emitters. The 120W streetlights give off around 90-100 lumens per watt at 100-240 voltage and boast a power factor higher than 99%. "We guarantee a 20,000-hour life span for the light. The streetlight has passed the IP65 test for waterproof and dust-proof quality.

Eric Lu says that orders for the company’s lighting emitters are growing, helped by competitive pricing. He concedes that the lights using his company’s emitters are still pricier than traditional lamps, but notes that LEDs are more durable. If more people buy LED lamps, prices will fall more quickly, he says.Its 0.5W emitter is used in the led high bay light bars of refrigerators, and its 1W, 3W and 5W emitters have gone into streetlights, residential lights, signage boards and commercial lights. Its high-power emitters deliver efficiency of over 90lm per watt.

their home and save money in the long run

Molica said a string of 300 incandescent holiday lights - which is about average - costs the average Bay Area customer $70.40 in energy during the approximately six-week holiday season. That's compared with 43 cents for the same number of LED lights. That means you save $70 a season if you switch out led high bay light incandescent lights to LED lights.It is impossible to say how many people have switched, but for the past two years PG&E has been offering exchanges and incentives to residential customers, building owners and merchants to put up energy-efficient lights.

Fillmore Street merchants switched out their old lights last year. Virtually all the lighting on Fillmore from Geary to Jackson streets is now energy efficient. Mission District and Noe Valley merchants also switched to LED lights last year, Molica said.More options are also available for consumers. In November, Home Depot offered $3 certificates toward LED lights for people who brought in their incandescent holiday lights. The store also doubled to 30 its selection of kinds of string lights. The store sells 138 eco-friendly yard decor items, artificial trees and other products with energy-efficient lights in them.

"In tough economic times, people still want to celebrate the holidays, so we are trying to make it more affordable to do so," said Kathryn Gallagher, the spokeswoman for Home Depot, which sold 40,000 miles of Christmas lights a year ago, enough to circle the globe 1.5 times. "led high bay light is the trend. We've seen the interest grow and we're expecting to sell more this year. We are trying to educate our customers that they can do simple modifications to their home and save money in the long run.

the work they have been doing in this area

The project aims to produce high power gallium nitride (GaN) LEDs capable of 95 percent light extraction with an electrical isolation layer designed to dramatically simplify packaging, boost performance and reduce costs for general lighting applications. The research and development programme will run for 24 months. The total project size is led high bay light.Commenting on the Technology Strategy Board's decision to invest in the project, its Chief Executive, Iain Gray noted that innovative research and development, such as the LED lighting for the 21st Century project, will enable the UK to develop world-leading technologies that have global market potential.

PhotonStars pointed out it’s a great win for them and endorses all the work they have been doing in this area. The funding combined with being able to work with such a prestigious team at Cambridge University will enable them to push the boundaries in this all-important area of lighting. They believe they will be able to advance the energy and environmental benefits of LEDs even further.The University of Cambridge’s Professor Colin Humphreys added that they are delighted to apply their GaN growth skills to such an important environmental application for LED technology. LEDs have great potential to dramatically reduce Carbon Dioxide emissions and reduce waste associated with disposal of conventional and low energy light bulbs.It’s disclosed that the government's Technology Strategy Board is investing over £7 million in 12 innovative lighting technology research and development projects, while the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council is contributing nearly £1 million to five of the projects.

The company, headquartered in Southampton UK, was founded in 2007 by Dr James McKenzie and Dr Majd Zoorob with the aim of producing world class LED lighting products for general illumination. PhotonStar made its product debut at ARC ’08 launching the first of its led high bay light products, the CeilingStar5-IC, a downlighter for use in fully insulated ceilings. The CeilingStar5 produces 450 Lumens at thermal equilibrium from 8W of circuit power in either warm white or neutral white and provides equivalent illumination to a 60W incandescent downlighter or a 35W MR16 downlighter. PhotonStar LED Ltd has in February acquired an optical and electrical characterization laboratory able to handle LED technology from the LED die, through LED modules to the luminaire.

These components are used in virtually all types of electronic devices and equipment

In addition, the MAX16834 integrates protection circuitry to ensure reliable operation in rugged environments. The driver provides analog thermal-foldback protection to allow the use of an external thermistor to reduce the LED current when the temperature of the led high bay light exceeds a specified temperature point. It also includes a fault-output flag for overvoltage, overcurrent and thermal warning faults, while its programmable, true-differential overvoltage protection meets stringent automotive requirements for LED lighting and display backlighting.

LED technology is increasingly being used in traffic applications due to its longer life and energy-saving qualities. Compared to an incandescent Traffic Light, an LED Traffic Light will last up to 50,000 hours and significantly reduce light pollution.An LED traffic light will also be better equipped to withstand extreme hot and cold temperatures than an incandescent light, which makes it suited for outdoor use. Moreover, an LED Traffic Light has a 100 to 1000 times faster response, even no delay, which results in sharp, pure color.Since 1998, BBE LED have exported and installed LED Traffic Light in more 80 countries, included both Retrofit LED Traffic Cores or Complete LED Traffic Lights, here is one of BBE LED Traffic Light project in Indonesia.

BBE LED noted that any LED traffic light balls or post top lamps can be found at BBE LED. BBE LED provides the LED solution to your needs. Their LED traffic light selection includes LED traffic light,led high bay light, LED Pedestrian, LED Countdown Timer, and more.These components are used in virtually all types of electronic devices and equipment, in the industrial, computing, automotive, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical markets. As we know, AIXTRON tools have a worldwide reputation for performance, engineering, service and not the least, process economics. With the additional system, Showa Denko will continue to achieve all their production targets which will translate very well into customer satisfaction.

The installation took about four hours

Just recently, the company changed 27 lamps, about 70% of the lighting equipment, in the "Shakey's" pizza restaurant on Shinjuku Dori Street with its bulb type fluorescent lamps and LED lamps Nov 20, 2008. Thanks to the replacement, the restaurant's annual electricity bill of ¥350,000 is expected to drop to ¥70,000. It’s disclosed that the led high bay light replacement cost ¥1.05 million, including ¥900,000 for lighting equipment and ¥150,000 for installation fee. So, this cost can be paid off in about three years. The installation took about four hours.

At present, although demand for display panels remains gloomy, the world’s major LCD TV brands, including Sony, Samsung and so on, have continued focusing promotion on LED-backlit LCD TVs. Samsung’ LED-backlit LCD TV uses blue LED chips and red and green fluorescent as its backlight, and is therefore as cost-efficient as a CCFL model in backlight. Some noted that sales of 25 million 40-inch LED-backlit LCD TVs alone will double or triple existing monthly capacity of 3 billion LED chips worldwide in demand. In short, popularity of the products will hopefully help LED makers weather the recent sales collapse.

Boasting cutting-edge production technology to produce the green-blue LED chips for LED-backlit LCD TVs, Epistar is hence qualified to ship the products to Samsung as Taiwan’s only supplier of such chips. B. J. Lee, chairman of Epistar, said that his company’s LED shipment is expected to keep trending upward in the future as long as LED-backlit LCD TVs get more and more popular worldwide.

 a world-leading supplier of lamps using up-to-date LED technology with a global network of sales representatives, is celebrating 25 years in business. The company first started in 1983 producing lighting for aviation companies from the owner's suburban garage. Since then it has expanded enormously.

LEDtronics has brought to market their innovative, American-engineered designs for small- and large-scale applications. Some patented and patent-in-process items are LED street and security luminaires, globe and décor LED bulbs, cooler running LED flood lamps that replace led high bay light parabolic-reflector lamps, LED machine-status lamps, automotive and rail transit LED lamps affecting the fields of transportation, tube-style fluorescent-replacement LED lamps, and control devices for dimming LED lights.

The companies and organizations contributing to the HB LED market track include Sandia National Laboratories, the California Energy Commission, Philips Lumileds Lighting, Bridgelux, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Osram Opto Semiconductors, Finelite, Cree, CAO Group, LEDON Lighting, Nichia, China Solid-State Lighting Alliance, Republic ITS, AU Optronics, Exclara, RPC Photonics, Instrument Systems, and Obducat Technologies.Other participating companies and organizations include Archtectural SSL Magazine, Derry Berrigan Lighting Design, Illuminart ilq, CRS Electronics, Naomi Miller Lighting Design, io Lighting, and Lutron Electronics. The LED suppliers’ panel will include representatives from Lumileds, Cree, Nichia and Osram.

GlacialTech Inc, in co-operation with the Taurus community in Changhua county near the center of Taiwan, have incorporated GlacialLights innovative LED luminaries as part of a drive to bring down the growing costs of power consumption. The community is built with the future in mind; incorporating all the latest and greatest elements of futuristic design into one community where only the highest quality counts. Tied to that is the goal of reducing power consumption and in this particular community original models predicted 20,000Watts power consumption using standard lighting fixtures. After GlacialLight’s LED Spotlights and Streetlights were activated at the complex, power consumption has dropped to led flood light. That is a massive 80% reduction in power usage and while LED’s cost double the price of traditional lighting, the costs for the LED luminaries will be recovered within 2 years of installation because of the extreme power savings that are in effect. In addition, the products will last considerably longer than traditional lighting sources, giving extended long term savings.

The LED technology will overtake the other classical technologies

According to an industry executive at the Electronica 2008 exhibition, the integration of intelligence with LED technology will lead to a greater significant energy savings for many led flood light applications.Light is a major consumer of our energy today. Ruediger Mueller, CEO of Osram Opto Semiconductors GmbH, said LED technology has the potential to lower light energy usage by 30 percent. This means total energy use could be slashed by 50 percent. He estimated that 19 percent of global electricity is used for lightning. The LED technology can help reduce light energy consumption by 30 percent, and by adding some intelligence, it goes to 50 percent.

Mueller noted overall LED efficiency has improved by a factor of 50 percent. The LED technology will overtake the other classical technologies. Light is not needed at constant level, but at several levels, and by doing this they can save quite a lot. Mueller stressed the growth of architectural lighting in emerging markets like Shanghai, China, adding that consumers still need to be informed.

Rich Beyer, chairman and CEO, Freescale, predicted a much better balance in the future, adding that the IC industry could meet increasing energy efficiency needs by progressively substituting mechanical parts with electronic components. He noted that LEDs are a semiconductor technology, and that scaling will result in lower prices for LEDs.Allen Lin, an analyst from Hsinchu-based IEK, expected the global LED market to grow by only 5 percent to around US$7.4 billion next year, given the impact of the global economic downturn. He said Hi-bright LED, driven by demand in emerging markets, will become the major driving force of the LED market. He also expected the hi-bright market to increase by 9 percent next year to reach US$5.5 billion.

He noted as the company expansion this year raises the odds of a price drop, normal-bright LED is likely to face a slowdown. Taiwan’s led high bay light output value is estimated to climb 13 percent this year from a year earlier, to reach US$1.84 billion. But the level of growth differs between upstream and downstream sectors. Upstream LED chip makers’ expansion of production capacity this year has led to a significant drop in unit price and caused output value to grow by only 8 percent.

the extra costs will be offset by improved LED lifetimes

It’s expected that the OLED backlighting market will reach $1.1 billion by 2015. And while the first OLED lighting panels are quite small, the recent scaling up of factories in Asia to build large OLED displays will certainly benefit the manufacturing infrastructure for OLED lighting and lead to larger panels within a few years. Although OLEDs have an efficiency edge over OLEDs today, that edge may narrow or even disappear. Moreover, point sources of light like LEDs are not especially effective at delivering area light and typically require additional optics to do the job. OLEDs, in contrast, 180W led flood lights already have exactly the kind of broad area light that’s needed for backlighting.

The flat and flexible format presented by LEDs creates an opportunity to design high-value added lighting fixtures with an appeal to upscale consumers and especially architects. During 2008, lighting designer Ingo Maurer introduced the world's first OLED "function table light" and researchers at GE are targeting lighted curtains and lighted wallpaper.The unit costs of LED lights are likely to remain higher than older general lighting technologies but the extra costs will be offset by improved LED lifetimes and efficiencies. During 2008, OLED lifetimes improved from 24 Khrs to 100 Khrs. Meanwhile, the US Department of Energy now expects OLED lighting to reach 150 lm/W efficiency in 2012 rather than 2014 as previously forecast.

Manufacturing processes for OLEDs have also progressed significantly. GE and the Fraunhofer Institute have both demonstrated roll-to-roll manufacturing of OLED lighting which will ultimately lead to significant cost improvements in OLED fabrication. Low cost printing approaches and new small molecule inks will also help propel OLEDs into the backlighting market.The companies say they will expand their business relationship into other high-volume lighting categories in 2009.Back in April 2008, Zumtobel announced that it would use Cree LEDs in its own luminaires – see Zumtobel Group teams with how do i test led high bay for quality to boost innovative LED lighting. Andreas Ludwig, Zumtobel Group CEO said that Cree provides them with a unique source of technological knowledge and leadership. By integrating this innovative LED luminaire into their portfolio, they are securing a significant technological edge.

the company to secureadditional opportunities and projects in the future

LLFY's recent partner growth highlights the acceptance and excitement about LED technology," said Steffen Block, Project Manager for LLFY at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors. "Collaboration between network partners is at the core of LLFY's mission. Just as a stand-alone led flood light does not produce light, partners work together to provide the appropriate system components to create solutions to launch specific LED applications.By replacing typical metal halide and/or incandescent lights withSunovia's proprietary LED lighting products, municipalities and othercustomers typically save more than 75% in electrical costs, and thereforereduce carbon emissions by the same percentage. These electrical savings haveallowed Sunovia to develop a financing program whereby the cost of theEvoLucia(TM) LED lights is offset largely by the electrical savings enjoyed asa result of the installation.

'The environmental and energy-efficient vision of Fairview's city councilis simply a pleasure to work around, and I am confident that their leadershipwill have a domino effect on other cities within the state of Texas and aroundthe country,' stated Bob Fugerer, president and CTO of Sunovia. 'I believethat the city of Fairview will be a springboard for the company to secureadditional opportunities and projects in the future, and I am proud of thework that our company, and specifically our engineering team, is doing in thisimportant area of the industry,' added Fugerer.

the year despite an economic downturn

Wanstar's new LED street light features a heatsink cover, which can maintain the light's temperature at around 50-degrees Fahrenheit in an average environment temperature of 68-degrees Fahrenheit.In addition to the US orders, the company has also received a 2,000 60W LED street light order from a Taiwan-based company, and is currently negotiating with a China-based company over potential orders.

The market for light-emitting diodes is set to grow significantly throughout the year despite an economic downturn, according to Chinese suppliers.A survey of LED light fixture suppliers carried out by Global Sources revealed that 81 per cent believed that exports would grow at ten per cent or more over the coming year.Some 67 per cent even predicted expert sales to be even higher, with expectations reaching 20 per cent or more.

The main driver for the export growth was cited as a growing range of LED-based lighting applications.The use of LEDs in functional everyday lighting is moving into the mainstream, especially in developed markets. This, in turn, is fuelling product development, with Greater China manufacturers seeking to gain an edge through improved performance and application flexibility, said report publisher Spenser Au.

The growth in lighting applications was mirrored in development plans, with 59 per cent of suppliers saying they were going to focus on general lighting applications, 22 per cent working on improving optical design, 11 per cent working to develop brighter output and eight per cent who said they were going to focus on decreasing deterioration rates.Rapid Electronics are a leading UK supplier of electronic components, electrical products and industrial equipment to the Assembly Manufacturer sector.

YAHAM lighting into LED street light market

According to yaham, general manager of Philips Taiwan lighting, the market scale of the Taiwan street light market that is being converted to LED lighting applications is expected to exceed NT$1 billion (US$32.46 million), and the company has already gained some installation contracts from local governments in Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung, according to a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) report.

According to a company press release,  YAHAM lighting has bee touting its CosmoPolis street lighting system that has been installed in many cities in Europe and Asia since its introduction in 2005 and cuts energy consumption by 50%.

The company recently noted that its green lighting sales increased 17% in 2007, with the biggest increase being in the home lighting market followed closely by lighting solutions for retail outlets and street lighting.This acquisition expands Cree's market opportunity by providing direct access to the lighting market. Cree's business now encompasses LED chips, components and lighting solutions. It further enables Cree to drive retrofit solutions to convert existing lighting infrastructure to energy-efficient lighting and to accelerate the adoption of LED lighting.

"The new Cree LED Lighting Solutions team is delivering industry-leading LED lighting products and working to set the standard for 21st century energy-efficient lighting," said Chuck Swoboda, chairman and chief executive officer of Cree. "We are out to lead the LED lighting revolution and to obsolete the lightbulb."

where warm light is particularly important

However, scientists have reminded that the LED lamps needed could be different in terms of the light spectrum, the B/R ratio, the lighting intensity and duration, depending on the different stages of the plants’ development.They said that the only barrier in using led flood light is the high production costs of the lamps, but they believe that the barrier would be removed later.This latest chipset is a fantastic addition to the ALT brand, offering the quality and stability of light output that you would expect from traditional fixtures but with considerably reduced power consumption and enhanced life span”, explained Light Planet Managing Director, Simon Leggett.

In indoor applications, where warm light is particularly important, these products will provide an ideal replacement for incandescent and halogen lamps. In outdoor applications, such as road lighting, the high light output, high colour rendering and warmer appearance provides a particularly suitable replacement to SON-T street lights.We are cautious about short-term business conditions since there is still no clear sign that the economy is improving,” added Mr. Peeler. “However, the LED market is getting better–general lighting is growing, excess capacity is being absorbed, and customers are reporting more stable business conditions. An MOCVD order snap-back is inevitable as LEDs go from 5% of all lighting to over 30% over the next few years. Insatiable demand for storage will drive future hard drive industry capital expenditures and technology investments. We anticipate that Veeco’s orders will improve in the coming quarters.”

“In the meantime, we are focused on lowering our cost structure while protecting investments in R&D and new products,” concluded Mr. Peeler. “Our goal is to remain profitable while funding our future. We are market leaders with exceptional technology and customer roadmap alignment. We are well positioned for future growth as our end markets recover and the world adopts solid state lighting.The areas that will see the benefits of led high bay light include exam rooms, rehabilitation rooms, offices, soffits, hallways and waiting rooms. The new 51,000-square-foot building offers day opportunities, medical and rehabilitation services and an enhanced curriculum of support and program services for individuals with physical and/or developmental disabilities and the entire community.

arranging to start the installation by the end of 2012

One of the things we're going to do across the board is the move to LED lighting in all our public areas by the end of 2013," Huijbrechts said. "Philips will provide technical assistance and led flood light design assistance for the different hotels because it's very important to choose the right lighting and take into account aspects like dimming and transformers, etc."

Additionally, Huijbrechts said the return on investment for larger renewable energy installations was too long for the company to consider, but added that she would push to set up supply deals with clean electricity providers.Kaohsiung city in Taiwan has applied for NT$ 500 million subsidies from government for installing efficient LED lights. The city schedules to install 38 regions, arranging to start the installation by the end of 2012, and plans to complete the project by the end of June.

According to officials, the government has already release NT$ 500 million subsidies to Energy Bureau backed by Ministry of Economic Affairs. And the principle of installation, will center on various administrative offices, and surrounding area will firstly considering about LED streetlights. In addition, streets where are short of brightness also can set up led high bay light firstly.The companies will develop solutions such as office lounge furniture and screens that integrate LED lighting, creating more effective and aesthetic office environments.

where cost savings pay for the LED streetlight costs

The study also identified a hurdle facing the adoption of LED streetlights. Most existing deployments were funded by stimulus funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). That funding is receding, making financing for future LED streetlight projects has been more led flood light difficult to secure, despite the success of early projects. However the price for LED streetlights is falling, and is expected to fall enough that within a few years to reach price parity with traditional streetlights. At that point the payback period, where cost savings pay for the LED streetlight costs, will be short enough to be within the reach of budget-constrained cities and municipalities.

The future for this form of street lighting is bright as most existing deployments are pilot projects. "Perhaps the most surprising finding in our survey was that most cities had only converted a small percentage of their streetlights to LEDs, even though they've been extremely popular," added Northeast Group. "It was hard to find any detractors from these projects, yet LED penetration remains below 1% of the overall streetlight population in the US. Certainly, some hurdles, such as financing, remain. But overall these findings show that the market has vast growth potential."

LED streetlights offer a new dimension of usefulness that traditional streetlights do not. LED lights can turn on and off instantly, and readily dimmable. This paves the way for smart streetlights reduce energy consumption through dimming, improve billing, and enable led high bay light remote monitoring features. Cities that have already installed communications networks for related smart grid infrastructure can take advantage of existing installations to lower overall costs.

The advantages its vertical integrated business model

In terms of the light module, there will be COB products, Zhaga module products, as well as blue emitter with high voltage chip and remote phosphor solutions. Besides, the 3014 and 5630 package products that have gone through LM-80 lifespan testing, have high stability and quality features, making them the most popular of lighting packaging products. Moreover, led flood light blue emitter with high voltage chip and remote phosphor solutions have improved lamp luminous efficiency by 30%, which when applied to bulb can allow them to reach a 330 degree beam angle.

Lextar indicated it will further push its Lighting Solution and Value Provider (LSVP) strategies at the lighting fair by using the most appropriate mix of lighting modules and products to show the advantages its vertical integrated business model.EVERLIGHT introduced several low, mid, and high power LED lighting components that adopted the LM80 test, in order to provide a broad range of high quality LED lighting components and strengthen EVERLIGHT’s concept of “The Right LED for The Right Application.”

Standardization has become a key factor in LED adoption in the global lighting market - not only in safety standards and performance standards but also more importantly, in reliability and lifetime testing.led high bay light is the lighting standard by which all major LED manufacturers are complying with for lumen maintenance testing. It is a standardized test method of at least 6,000 hours and at certain controlled conditions that is required of all lighting LEDs so that each LED tested, regardless of manufacturer, can be judged against other tested LEDs on an equal scale and compared.

While the LED market in general continues to remain fairly weak

Gross margin in the third quarter increased to 12.3 percent, up from break-even in the prior quarter. The Company’s operating loss for the third quarter was reduced to $1.1 million from $3.1 million in the prior quarter, and earnings per share were $0.01 after recording a foreign currency gain and additional income tax credits.While the LED market in general continues to remain fairly weak, we are seeing signs of improvement, and the led flood light market remains strong. During the current LED industry cycle we continue to focus on enhancing our competitive position by developing new products, adding intellectual property and reducing our cost structure.

Commenting on the outlook for the fourth quarter of 2012, William Weissman, Rubicon’s Chief Financial Officer said, “For the fourth quarter we expect revenue to be similar to that of the third quarter with most of our revenue again coming from six-inch polished wafer sales. Pricing for two-through-four inch cores has not yet started to rebound, so we will likely sell limited volume of these products again in the fourth quarter. Gross margin will likely be in the high single digits as average pricing for six-inch wafers will be somewhat lower in the fourth quarter. The down cycle in the LED market has certainly delayed broader adoption of six inch substrates among LED chip manufacturers, and six-inch usage remains limited at this time. We are now beginning to see some chip manufactures re-engage their development work on six inch and expect strong growth in the six-inch market in the second half of next year. However, in the near term we expect to see some pricing pressure on six-inch given the limited demand and competitors trying to qualify for that business. Consequently, we expect a loss per share between $(0.02) and $(0.05) in the fourth quarter based on 22.5 million shares outstanding and a 50 percent tax benefit.

Wherever there is light, you will also find semiconductor light sources from Osram Opto Semiconductors: in the automotive sector, the entertainment industry and even the security environment. At this year’s electronica fair (booth 107 in Hall A3) the company will therefore be highlighting its role as a complete supplier of semiconductor lighting solutions. This leading international exhibition of components, systems and applications will provide an opportunity to see the new Displix LED for the first time.
