the market potential for LED lamps and luminaires

Greiner comes to Everlight after six years at Osram Opto Semiconductor where he served as Senior Director Sales Europe and Emerging Markets. Before that Greiner spent seven years at Siemens Semiconductor in various sales positions. He has more than 13 years experience in semiconductors sales and holds a Master's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Cooperative Education Stuttgart, Germany.Bridgelux says that its led high bay light Arrays have been specifically developed to provide lamp and luminaire manufacturers with a solution that will simplify system level integration thereby reducing the system cost. The array can be used in applications including task, accent, spot, track, down light, wide area and security lighting. Bridgelux estimates the market potential for LED lamps and luminaires, alone, to be approximately $10 billion per year by 2012.

Bridgelux says its LED Array product suite is designed to deliver performance comparable to standard incandescent, halogen, compact fluorescent, and high intensity discharge (HID) lamps. The LED Arrays range from 400 to 2000 lumens and are offered in warm, neutral and cool white color temperatures. Additionally, the LED Arrays offer improved energy efficiency, lower maintenance cost and elimination of hazardous materials, such as mercury or lead found in traditional lighting technologies—all while delivering a uniform, high quality light source. Bridgelux’s LED Arrays are RoHS compliant and are tested and binned to an ANSI/Energy Star compliant binning structure.

Jason Posselt, Bridgelux director of marketing stated Bridgelux’s innovative packaging technology not only offers a light source that can be seamlessly integrated into a luminaire, but also delivers increased usable light through a simplified thermal design. These products have been designed with the end application in mind, focusing on delivering both the quantity and quality of light required for general lighting applications together with an ability to significantly reduce the cost of led high bay light. They believe that the Bridgelux LED Array technology will enable their customers to optimize their overall system design, greatly reducing their SSL manufacturing costs.
