the door to a world of decorative potential by delivering remarkable light

In early September, Samsung claimed LG stole its company secrets by luring former Samsung employees to join LG. Later that month, LG claimed in a lawsuit that five Samsung devices, including the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Tab, infringed its OLED patents.Additionally, Samsung and LG have been bitter rivals even before smartphones enveloped the consumer market. For several years, both companies have made OLED display technology a popular choice of major led flood light in smartphone screens because of its low power consumption and bright color intensity.GE Lighting continues to evoke the imagination of architects and lighting designers with LED luminaires that inspire new commercial ceiling landscapes. The Lumination? LED Suspended Luminaire—a chic, ultra-thin fixture unlike anything seen before-aims to redefine office, retail and hospitality environments with captivating form and function.

The Lumination Suspended LED Luminaire opens the door to a world of decorative potential by delivering remarkable light output in a low-profile, provocative design. A clear, narrow band surrounds the edge of the fixture, making the light source appear to 'float' in the center of the luminaire. When illuminated, it produces a perfectly even glow. While off, it is nearly transparent.The minimal design of the luminaire makes it a game changer in the commercial lighting arena, from reception areas to conference rooms to private offices to the sales floor," said Eric Stevenson, global product manager for GE Lighting. "Our LED suspended fixture can play a starring role in any room and is already garnering critical acclaim across the industry.Most recently, it was named a 2012 Product Innovation Award winner by Architectural Products magazine.

Lumination LED Suspended Luminaires use GE Intrinsx? technology that couples the LED light engine into the light guide and maximizes the performance and application efficiency of every LED in the luminaire. Intrinsx technology allows these unique fixtures to effectively deliver versatile light distribution patterns—both diffused ambient uplighting and effective task downlighting. Designed with environmental impact in mind, the Lumination led high bay light  product meeting stringent standards for efficiency. Its 50,000-hour rated life eliminates bulb changes associated with fluorescent tubes and it contains no lead, mercury or glass, making handling and disposal less of a concern.

the recently announced US solar thermal power plant project

Seesmart’s retrofit for Regis High School began by replacing the light fixtures in the gymnasium with LED fixtures. After seeing the results in the gym the administration decided to replace all of the school’s lighting with LED fixtures. Fluorescent lights were replaced with Seesmart led flood light in over 100 classrooms, offices, and other educational spaces, as well as extensive hallways. The changeover included 967 new or retrofitted fixtures. Installation began in January 2012 and was almost fully completed in just three months.The project consists of hazardous and non-hazardous LED lighting fixtures, including high bay, low bay, linear and wallpack fixture types and was designed and specified by the energy team at Honeywell International in Puerto Rico.

"In addition to the orders that we have seen coming from more traditional industries such as mining and oil & gas, this order, along with the recently announced US solar thermal power plant project, demonstrates an increasing penetration into the environmental and clean energy markets. While our customers are acting sustainably through the services they provide, they are also have greater awareness of their own business consumption. The adoption of LED lighting enhances a company's green credentials through greater energy efficiency and a reduction in their carbon emissions, as well as proving to be economically beneficial."

LED lamp has the general shape of traditional lamps

The new organization is dedicated in standing for the interests of European lighting industry, and settling difficulties in LED innovation. Additionally, it claimed as the sound of Europe lighting industry, which presents many lighting associations and all kinds of European lighting enterprises.ELC is a European bulb manufacturers alliance, and led flood light is a European association of lamps and lanterns. Then, Lighting Europe will take the place of the two organizations.Lighting Europe is not only engaged in leading Europe and global lighting, but also dedicated in creating a platform for development and communication. The founders of Lighting Europe contain 8 ELC members, such as GE, Havells Sylvania, Osram, Philips and Toshiba, and Panasonic and Zumtobel. And Many CELMA members also will join Lighting Europe.

We are honored to have won a Good Design Award, which recognizes our move towards more aesthetic and functional LED lamp designs. We will continue to enhance the design competitiveness of our LED lighting products with creativity and innovation as we expand our market presence.” said Hee Chong Yoon, Vice President of LED marketing, Device Solutions, Samsung Electronics.The award-winning Samsung LED A19 lamp is designed to easily replace 40W equivalent traditional incandescent, halogen, and CFL bulbs in a wide range of home and office environments. The 6.5W LED lamp has the general shape of traditional lamps but at the same time adds aflair of distinctiveness inspired by elegant traditional Korean white porcelain of the Joseon (Chosun) dynasty. In addition, the fading concave patterns on its heat sink are not only functional, but also add to the lamp’s overall look by creating a light and airy feel.

In addition to its visual appeal, the Samsung LED A19 lamp features an environmentally friendly design. It provides approximately 80% energy savings compared to traditional incandescent lamps, without compromising light performance or the quality of light, and offers a much longer lifespan – approximately 15,000 hours.For the heat sink, the Samsung LED A19 lamp uses PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) resin instead of led high bay light aluminum. This reduces the weight of the product and provides a more eco-friendly overall design by eliminating the need to carve and paint an aluminum casing, which would have resulted in unnecessary waste. The use of PBT also contributes to lowering the overall cost.

Besides, they can provide useful light in excess of 50,000 hours of operation as compared to about up to 3,000 hours for an incandescent bulb. The maintenance interval will be reduced from once in every three months to once a year. According to a study by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in the USA, the greatest percentage of accidents (53%) happened during the maintenance and repair work of light bulbs or light fixtures. The longer life and packaging of LEDs would decrease the exposure to these hazards.Philips Lumileds and Future Lighting Solutions, a division of Future Electronics, announced today they have restructured their long-standing distribution agreement. The new arrangement allows both companies to build led flood light upon their long-standing relationship while creating new opportunities for additional partnerships.The new agreement builds on a relationship that has enabled the growth for both companies through the development of solid-state lighting solutions worldwide.

the bar in the LED Street Lighting Market

Wu confirmed that his company is vying for orders from GE, Philips and other globally known brands for the time being, and aims to take advantage of this possible chance to explore overseas markets. In the short term, both contract manufacturing and branding will be the company’s core business.In this business tie-up, Epistar severs as an upstream supplier of epitaxial wafers and LED chips for Nan Ya Photonics engaged in manufacturing of LED bulbs, with Nan Ya Plastics being a sales arm.Lighting is a huge consumer of electricity and LED lights consume a fraction compared to traditional incandescent lights or even fluorescent lights, which are themselves capable of up to 75% savings in power over incandescent. Lighting accounts for led high bay light of global electricity consumption, so changes that slash the energy consumption of the sector could have a significant impact on electricity demand.

One factor holding back earlier adoption has been price. As production capacity rapidly rises and the rare earth metals yttrium, europium and terbium have fallen in price, the cost of manufacture has come down, speeding uptake.Rare Earth Phosphor-based LEDs have an expected life of 50,000 hours and some are sold with five-year warranties, but so far the capital cost has inhibited uptake as quickly as the industry hoped. But overcapacity is forcing manufacturers to drop prices and raw materials, in the form of rare earth elements, have dropped to a third of where they were a year ago.The unique combination of rare earths and semiconductor technology is also opening up the possibility for lighting, at least LED lighting, to mimic sunlight and colored tones rather than the harsher tones of conventional bulbs, which in turn opens up possibilities for lighting to be so much more than just a utility service.


Lighting manufacturers may be going through a competitive period of re-adjustment, but REE demand will benefit from the growth of an industry with plenty of potential.The evaluation criteria established by Minnesota Power requires DLC Certification, as well as many other rigorous requirements. ALT's IP68 certification along with superior power supply design and thermal management has raised the bar in the LED Street Lighting Market and has been recognized by Minnesota Power.Design Lights Consortium (DLC)-an organization funded by, and associated with, the U.S. Department of Energy led flood light-focuses on certifying only high quality and high performance LED lighting products. DLC is used as the standard in the US for LED lighting, for both private and public projects. The many available energy rebate programs dealing with LED lighting products require DLC certification in order to be eligible for any incentives.

Rambus Inc has developed a business alliance with the Elite Group, which designs and distributes home goods, lighting and other consumable products.According to Rambus, its LED bulbs are designed using MicroLens optical technology that permits the use of a cylindrical light guide in the bulb. This produces a consistent, spherical distribution of light, an open structure that uses convection to keep the bulb cool, increases energy efficiency, improves lifetime and reduces bill of materials cost with fewer or lower-powered LEDs.

The Elite Group will promote and sell the Rambus LED bulb portfolio within North America. This will includ Elite's current retail customers for its L'Image Home Products division, which sells a portfolio of bulbs and lighting products to major retailers such as Home Depot.The first Rambus LED bulbs will be available at major retailers and professional channels in Q2 of 2013, however, pricing details were not disclosed.Founded in 2005, San Francisco-based Adura has led the development of radio frequency (RF) mesh networking technology that allows individual light fixtures to communicate in a wireless mesh network with switches, sensors and system management software. The led flood light wireless standard-based technology enables energy-saving control solutions while eliminating the cost of using wires to network all of the devices in the system. Wireless controls technology improves the economics and feasibility of installing lighting controls in a wide variety of new construction and renovation projects.
