Leading LED manufacturers have responded by buying their own fixture makers. Earlier this year, Cree purchased LED Lighting Fixtures Inc., and Lighting Science Group Corp., a New York-based LED product company, purchased Netherlands-based Lighting Partner BV.The pure RGB color from the PhlatLight LEDs produce a brighter more vivid image than the led flood light brightness specs would suggest, for a picture that’s easily viewable when projected to a 40-inch size even in a well-lit office. These projectors consume approximately one-third the power of comparable lamp-based projectors and produce an instant-on image at full brightness without the cost and inconvenience of lamp replacement. Both projectors were recently demonstrated at IFA in Berlin and are launching to worldwide distribution. The Samsung P400 is now shipping in the US.
In addition, Taiwan-based LED packaging company Everlight has received high-power LED orders to be used in micro projectors with shipments starting in September, said a recent report. Although initial order volumes are limited, Everlight is the first to enter the market for micro projectors in Taiwan, according to market sources. The market sources noted that micro-projectors are a newly developed product and most vendors are using LEDs from US or European LED makers. Everlight is the first Taiwan-based LED maker to provide high-power LEDs to micro projector vendors.
Everlight indicated that micro projectors require better color saturation and hence RGB LEDs will be used as the light source. Initial monthly shipment estimates are for about 10,000 units, but orders are expected to grow as the market for micro projectors matures in 2009.Industry players estimated that the market for micro projectors and micro projectors built into handsets may reach 2.34 million units in 2010. However, Taiwan-based Lite-On Technology remains conservative about the new market noting that led high bay light typically deliver only one-sixth the brightness of alternative projector light sources. Lite-On said it believes the growth of the micro projector market is limited and it is not considering joining the market at this time.

what form did this sneak attack take
It will be recorded that the distance from a government-inspired concept to an actual policy makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the led flood light has deliberately sought to deceive the solid state lighting community by their cooperative approach and expressions of hope for continued peace.
So what form did this sneak attack take? In a June 2 letter to lighting "manufacturers and other interested parties" the EPA announced a "technical amendment", version 4.2, to the Energy Star residential light fixture (RLF), ceiling fan and vent fan specifications that is of immediate effect in allowing LED light fixtures to achieve the Energy Star mark. It does that by allowing qualification to "new testing procedures" that are somewhat useful but unproven, unqualified at the fixture level and without quantitative history to substantiate their predictive reliability. In addition, the spec itself is directly contrary to the SSL and lighting industry consensus that agreed that the "dim and harsh" factor was a major consumer turn-off with regard to CFL technology at its introduction. Unappealing and ineffective CFL lamps introduced into the residential market caused a general rejection of that technology and set back the pace of adoption on the order of a decade.
The EPA's answer is apparently to repeat the mistake by allowing residential luminaires throwing out as little as lumens to qualify as long as the light engine inside generates 40 lumens/watt with a CCT that can be as harsh as 6500K. Oh, and you have to label it with wording such as "This fixture produces light equivalent to a 6 watt incandescent bulb" in accordance with a handy reference chart. If your integral light engine produces 40 to 69 lumens, you simply need to label it as "equivalent to a 6 watt incandescent bulb". For reference, my wife and son use those leftover 40 lumen bulbs in their tabletop snow village display each Christmas because they're too dim for use as decent nightlights! The EPA figures that qualifying the led high bay light engine inside the fixture is sufficient. So, you can grab your Energy Star mark, push a grand 10 lumens out of a crummy LED "reading light" and claim it is as bright a 40-watt bulb because your "LED light engine" inside the fixture produces between 450 and 799 lumens that are going who knows where. That will get them flocking to the stores to buy one for every room in the house!

the initiative to identify the project
The solar lighting systems were recently installed in the Peruvian communities of Nuevo Amanecer, Marcas, Quilca, Yanapampa, Huancho, Buenavista, Tantas, Uchapa, Chacará, Huayao and Castrovirreyna. The solar lighting systems are lighting streets, pathways, and community "plaza" squares.
"We felt compelled to do what we could for the victims of this earthquake and we thought that our solar lighting would help address some of the challenges facing these communities so affected by this tragedy." said Michael W. Sonnenfeldt, chairman of Sol Inc. "Public lighting is often critically important to the economic and social activities of a community and our solar lights will enhance the safety and security of these communities. Public lighting extends the daily life of a small town whether it is for children playing or allowing a market to remain open a few hours longer. We learned from our previous relief efforts donating solar lighting units to New Orleans and other Gulf Coast cities affected by Hurricane Katrina that working with local government agencies and world class relief agencies involved in the recovery efforts is critically important to ensure the successful installation of the donated solar lights. Practical Action really made this happen."
Sol took the initiative to identify the project, the local needs, and arranged for a donor who could rely on Sol to manage the entire process from beginning to end. Sol donated all of the logistical efforts to augment the contributions to make the project happen.
Philanthropist David Russell, who underwrote the project added; "I wanted to help the victims of the earthquake, but I wanted to fund a specific effort where I could be sure where my contribution was going, and for what. Sol provided a complete solution that literally allowed me to write a single check, and they took care of the rest, professionally and in very difficult and complicated circumstances. This opens up a whole range of possibilities for foundations and philanthropists who often have the intent but not the infrastructure to help victims of one type of disaster or another."
"In the evening, families would normally retreat into their households. Thanks to the efforts of Practical Action and Sol Inc., people now gather under the solar lights for social activities and watch their children play in a secure environment," said Federico Salas, Governor of Huancavelica Region in Peru, the region most affected by the earthquake.

because daytime running lamps are not required in most countries
A typical DRL solution with incandescent or halogen bulbs uses 40-80 Watts of
power. LUXEON-based DRLs consume 10 Watts of power or less because of the
technology s low power demands and energy efficiency.Given these benefits, any
new regulation requiring DRLs is expected to drive broader LUXEON adoption for
daytime running lamps as well as other forward automotive lighting
applications.Today LED DRLs are used on fewer than 1% of vehicles, in part
because daytime running lamps are not required in most countries.
If the new regulation by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe moves ahead as expected, it will increase that number dramatically because of the low power usage, longevity and design flexibility of LEDs compared to conventional light sources," said Scott Kern, Vice President, Automotive Sales, for Philips Lumileds.LUXEON LEDs promise to lead the market because of their reliability, high quality white light, and proven performance in the automotive industry." Over the years, Philips Lumileds has pioneered many automotive exterior lighting applications with its LUXEON, SuperFlux and SnapLED products.
In addition to driving the industry s first all-LED daytime running lamp and all-LED headlamp, the company s solid-state lighting technology has enabled the world s first all-LED rear combination lamp, first single-LED stop-tail lamp, first LED front-, rear- and side-mirror turn signals.About Philips Lumileds yaham Lumileds is the world s leading provider of power LEDs for everyday lighting applications.The company s recent records for light output, efficacy and thermal management are direct results of the ongoing commitment to advancing solid-state lighting technology and enabling lighting solutions that are more environmentally friendly, help reduce CO2 emissions and reduce the need for power plant expansion.

the board is the move to LED lighting in all our public areas by the end of 2013
Daintree Networks and Cree are already working together with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, delivering the joint solution at a wholesale distributor. The retrofit to the office and breakroom resulted in more than 91 percent savings.Once the GSA has completed findings, then it can recommend technologies to some or all of its portfolio. With more than 370 million square feet of building stock, if the GSA widely implements a technology, it can easily push the entire market forward.
For the federal agency, 2015 isn’t the endgame when it comes to meeting energy efficiency goals. Even once that mandate is met, the GSA then needs to turn its focus to net-zero energy designs by 2020, said Powell, who noted that taking the heat out of lighting by using LEDs will likely be a component of those designs. We have a great deal of incentive to roll out technologies that prove out as quickly as possible,” he said.Rezidor has announced over 300 of its hotels worldwide will switch to energy efficient LEDs by the end of 2013.According to Inge Huijbrechts, director of responsible business at Rezidor, the owner of the Radisson, Missoni, and Regent hotel brands has signed a deal with Philips to complete the transformation of its portfolio as part of its ThinkPlanet sustainability plan.
The Think Planet programme is aiming to deliver a 25 per cent reduction in energy consumption by 2016 and is expected to save the company 25m over the same period by focusing on relatively simple, low cost improvements.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 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.
