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.

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.
