Developed by professor Tao Wang of the University of Sheffield, Seren’s new processing technique can increase an HB-LED’s luminous efficacy and reduce heat generation under normal running conditions. Demonstrations of the patent-pending technology have resulted in a significant increase in light output compared to untreated devices, it is claimed, so that either much brighter lamps can be manufactured or the power consumption of lamps can be reduced.
The TSB grant will be used to develop a second additive nano-particle technology that will further increase the LED’s efficiency. The technology, which has been demonstrated in a laboratory environment, will be developed into a process compatible with modern manufacturing techniques before being offered under license to Seren’s future manufacturing partners.
Seren’s technology is targeted at the large and fast-growing white-light HB-LED markets, such as back-lighting for laptops and TVs, signs and displays, as well as domestic and architectural lighting. This market is currently worth an estimated $15bn and is set to grow to $20bn by 2014, says Seren.
Taiwan Everlight has intended to cooperate with distributors in mainland China. There will be 3000 channel partners to sell Everlight’s LED bulbs by the end of 2012. In addition, the Taiwanese company has scheduled to add 6000 channel partners in 2013, and it will adopt the same way in Hongkong.

retailers are viewed as leaders in environmental stewardship
In addition, advanced systems contribute valuable points toward U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Retail certification. It consists of two separate rating systems, which are LEED for Retail: New Construction and LEED for Retail: Commercial Interiors. Both were developed by the USGBC to specifically address the unique nature of a retail facility. By improving the sustainability of their properties and reducing their carbon footprints, retailers are viewed as leaders in environmental stewardship and as better neighbors, which also serves to positively impact a store’s overall profitability.
The first step for retailers to gain control of their lighting energy use and expenditures is to have a vendor complete a lighting audit. Through an audit, the vendor can identify the “low-hanging” fruit in terms of efficiency and detail how a pilot program on strategic areas would demonstrate potential energy savings and reinforce the findings of an audit.
Art Van Furniture, Michigan's largest furniture retailer and America's largest independent furniture retailer, has executed a plan to replace 38,000 incandescent lamps with LED throughout the 34 Art Van showrooms in Michigan to save energy. And these savings led DTE Energy and the Engineering Society of Detroit to honor it for its trailblazing efforts.
The switch from incandescent to LED will save 63 watts of energy per lamp. Moreover, the new lamps have a maximum temperature of only 85 degrees. The traditional, incandescent lamps reach temperatures of more than 200 degrees. This means that Art Van will also be cutting costs by reducing the heat load in their showrooms with the new lighting system.

must be reflected in our own attitudes before we can encourage it in our consumers
Rather than be tempted into producing sub-standard technology to answer demand for the lowest possible costs, we must shift the consumer mind set away from consumables and towards solutions. This change can be effected by consistent, high quality technology that will trigger increased consumer demand and, as a result, drive competitive product cost.
In a sustainable future our understanding of ROI cannot be limited to the initial cost of the lamp but must incorporate total product life span, product consumption, waste and recycling costs. This is a shift in logic that must be reflected in our own attitudes before we can encourage it in our consumers.
As an industry it is important that we evolve from operations based on high volume production, retail presence and a commoditised market and look forward to long-term relationships with clients and a business model based on service and solutions provision. Most importantly, we need to take responsibility for empowering the consumer through better information, in particular unified and lifetime-based product standards.
Ultimately, the answer to pricing pressure isn’t to artificially drive cost down with less efficient technology but to help the consumer to understand exactly what it is they are buying. When the true value of LEDs becomes clear to them they will be considerably more prepared to accept the cost."

towns are in the process of testing them and researching the possibility of their use
Whether a metropolis of millions or hometown to hundreds, GE’s LED street lighting savings are universal for all cities. Evolve Led high bay light Roadway fixtures yield up to a 50 percent reduction in system energy compared to standard high-intensity discharge (HID) systems. Las Vegas will use 20 million fewer kilowatt hours (kWhs) to power streetlights beginning in 2013. Since 2010, Superior has saved more than 200,000 kWhs a year thanks to GE’s energy-efficient fixtures.
GE convened a panel discussion today to explore how cities across the country are benefitting from LED street lighting at LIGHTFAIR International, the world’s largest lighting trade show, being held this week in Las Vegas.
Panelist Tim Miller, global LED fixture product manager, outdoor applications, GE Lighting, commented, “We’re seeing a rapid adoption of LED systems for roadways across the globe. Cities are realizing very real energy and maintenance savings, and if they haven’t already adopted LEDs, many towns are in the process of testing them and researching the possibility of their use.”
Customers in Spain, China, Mexico and nearly every corner of the world are also replacing legacy lighting systems with Evolve LED Roadway fixtures, made in North Carolina. Other cities having recently adopted Led linear high bay light technology include Stamford, Connecticut, where 1,000 fixtures have made a $146,000 difference, and Sydney, Australia, where more than 6,400 fixtures will save $850,000 annually.

only using a blue LED engine instead of binned white LEDs
LED Linear Luminaires are made in the United States and sold through Cree lighting sales channels with sample quantities targeted for availability in May 2012. For additional information, please visit Led high bay light. The CS Series will also be demonstrated at Cree’s lighting booth #3008 at Lightfair International in Las Vegas, May 9-11.
*Payback calculations compare the LED linear luminaire with an industrial 4-lamp T8 fluorescent linear fixture of comparable light output. The calculations also assume a typical grocery retail space of 125 units, 24-hour per day usage, $.11 kWh energy costs and relamp maintenance. The result is estimated payback of less than 2.5 years.
An exciting lighting design trend because it increases light quality and lowers systems costs, ChromaLit makes lighting better using a phosphor composite substrate separated from the blue LEDs. Improving on the conventional approach where phosphor coats the blue LEDs directly, ChromaLit offers glare-free, diffuse light, high color rendering and consistent light quality. By only using a blue LED engine instead of binned white LEDs, production is streamlined and inventories are reduced. Furthermore, system efficacy is increased up to 30%, reducing lighting system material cost and power consumption.
ChromaLit XT offers a powerful and elegant solution for new applications like spotlights and floods, extending Led linear high bay light ChromaLit technology’s light quality and adding higher light intensity, 65% lower cost per lumen and enhanced off-state neutral color when compared to conventional remote phosphors that are yellow in color.
