Demand for eco-friendly home products is at an all-time high, and Kichler responds with yet another energy-saving lighting solution. Kichler’s new Design Pro LED Rail Lights incorporate tiny LED chips that use 75 percent less electricity than typical incandescent lighting. The fixtures, which easily mount into existing wall or ceiling outlet boxes, offer the same, warm white light and innovative designs homeowners have come to expect from their home lighting.
Our new LED rail fixtures not only save on electricity bills, but they offer many of same the benefits of track lighting with easier installation,” said Bob Doernberg, Kichler senior product manager. “Kichler understands that homeowners’ needs are all different, so each rail shade swivels and rotates independently. This allows homeowners to train the light in a direction that best meets their needs.”

it makes sense to switch to an LED light source
Available in both dimmable 12V bi-pin and E27 medium screw base versions, the ELED MR16 5W lamps are powered by 5 watts of high-output Nichia LEDs – the equivalent of a 50W halogen bulb. Yet they consume a maximum of 5 watts of power, so they will significantly reduce users’ electric bills, providing a return on investment in a very short time. Another bright spot for lighting users -- and the environment – is the LEDs’ long life, rated at 40,000 hours, which will drastically cut lamp replacement costs and reduce the amount of waste going into landfills.
Both lamp-base versions are offered in Warm White (2,700K) and Neutral White (3,500K), and in choice of either 30° or 60° beam angle. This versatility, combined with their powerful output and the dimming capability of the bi-pin version, make the ELED MR16 5W lamps ideal for a wide range of applications – from offices and stores, to hotels and restaurants, and even private homes.
“As energy costs and environmental concerns have risen, more business operators and homeowners are finding that it makes sense to switch to an LED light source,” said Eric Loader, Director of Sales for Elation Professional. “The trend will only continue to gain momentum in the future. Our ELED MR16 5W Series was designed to offer economically-priced, easy-to-use replacement white LED lamps that deliver superior light output and can fit a variety of applications, while delivering the cost-saving and environmental benefits associated with LEDs. We have compared these lamps to other popular models on the market, and it outperforms all competitors so far – especially at this price point.

new retrofit product offers all the advantages of LED lighting
LED is a solid-state light source, and there’s no failure mechanism or degradation anywhere close to lamp systems,” says Matt Mazzuchi, general manager of the projection display business group at Luminus Devices, whose YAHAM Light LED chipset has been employed in the first LED theater projectors. “We’ve put 3 million to 4 million device hours under test, to where these projectors are showing incredible stability, so we’re comfortable saying things like ‘there’s a 60,000-hour lifetime’ on them.Luminus’ LEDs have been used in pocket projectors from LG, Samsung, Toshiba, Acer, BenQ and others before it showed off Full HD resolution DLP projectors from Delta and Chi Lin at January’s Consumer Electronics Show.
In addition to their long lifespan, LED projectors feature far better color saturation compared with traditional projectors, says Mazzuchi. Because reds, greens and blues are pulsed directly to the optics without going through the spinning and chopping of an ordinary projector’s color wheel, colors are richer and more saturated, with less “breakup” or “rainbow artifacts,” he explains. Also, as LED projectors don’t require any warm-up or cool-down time, they can be turn on or off instantly.
Gerritt Reinders, Energy Focus' VP of Solutions Sales, commented: "Using only about half the power of conventional fluorescent fixtures and about one third that of conventional metal halide fixtures our new retrofit product offers all the advantages of LED lighting - controllability, low maintenance and full output even at the coldest temperatures but with an important difference: Energy Focus' product can do it at only a fraction of the cost of 1st generation "high power" LED approaches."LEDs to distribute both the light and heat over the length of the four foot tube. That approach neatly solves the thermal problems normally associated with high output LED solutions without expensive heat sinks while allowing us to incorporate much of the hardware that's been devolved over the years for fluorescent."

we have been actively developing an international presence for our LED product lines
So as to further establish and advance our leadership position in LED lighting, we made the decision to vertically integrate our capabilities in connection with designing, engineering, and producing the solid-state electronics that control and power LEDs. For the past two years, we and our Montreal-based engineers at LSI Saco Technologies have been working with the talented engineering and manufacturing people at ADL Technology. As part of the LSI family, ADL will allow us to stay on the leading edge of product development while at the same time providing opportunities to drive down manufacturing costs and control delivery of key components. ADL's capabilities will also have applications in our other LED product lines such as digital scoreboards, and advertising ribbon boards and billboards. The owners of ADL will be joining the management team of LSI and we look forward to many benefits from this continuing relationship as we plan for the future and the resumption of growth in our markets and the general economy."
As I have stated in past conference calls, we have been actively developing an international presence for our LED product lines. I am pleased to say we now have our first UK based prototype installation in place and initial reports indicate the customer is extremely pleased with the results. . As more sites are converted to LSI's LED lighting fixtures, we will be putting in place a very aggressive marketing and sales direction. We see the opportunity for solid-state LED lighting to serve both the domestic and international markets. This rather dramatically expands our potential for higher sales and profits as we address export sales. We continue to place high value on maintaining a sound and conservative balance sheet. This will also be true after the ADL acquisition, as a significant form of consideration is expected to be LSI's common stock.
LSI Industries is an Image Solutions company, dedicated to advancing solid-state LED technology in lighting and graphics applications. We combine integrated technology, design, and manufacturing to supply high quality, environmentally friendly lighting fixtures and graphics elements for commercial, retail and specialty niche market applications. LSI is a U.S. manufacturer with marketing / sales efforts throughout the world with concentration currently on North American, South American, Asian, Australian, New Zealand and European markets.

create awareness for the benefits of LED lighting
The new Wall Grazer is the perfect solution for commercial, retail and hospitality environments to enhance beautiful artwork and architecturally significant stone or brick walls,” explained Chuck Campagna, president and CEO of Amerlux Lighting Solutions. “The Wall Grazer accomplishes this in a low-wattage with nominal heat output.”
The Wall Grazer can be mounted in most ceilings with a voltage of 120 to 277V, offering a warm color temperature of 2700k CCT. The housing of the Wall Grazer comes in 4 and 8-foot lengths standard or engineered continuous runs spanning just 5.06 inches in depth.
Under the agreement, Lagotek will integrate ACT's StandAlone and controlLED LED tubes into Lagotek's new Building Intelligence System (BIS), designed to manage commercial lighting, HVAC, and motorized window coverings for maximum energy efficiency, with an emphasis on providing highly efficient and durable LED lighting control to small and medium-sized commercial applications.
"It has long been accepted that LED lighting will one day be the new standard for commercial and residential lighting because of its great efficiencies and long life," said Eugene Luskin, CEO, Lagotek. "LEDs are 60% more efficient than fluorescent tubes and last at least five times longer. ACT's approach is to provide an easy retrofit model which fits perfectly into Lagotek's wireless system design. We have not seen a more efficient lighting product that is ready for market."
"This partnership helps both companies create awareness for the benefits of LED lighting," said Gary Colip, CEO, ACT. "Our StandAlone and controlLED Lites are a direct replacement for existing fluorescent tubes and provide a very friendly and attractive light source in addition to reducing heat (LEDs do not use the heat generating ballasts needed with fluorescent lights). With Lagotek, we will be able to include dimming controls that further reduce energy consumption and make daylight harvesting and other multi-system advantages possible by combining motorized window coverings, lighting and climate control."

The descent was less steep in terms of value
Typical low-end string releases are good for one-season use only. These have a basic linear construction, fitted with single-color, steady incandescent bulbs. The life span is short, ranging from 1,000 to 1,200 hours. The plugs and cables are made of locally sourced ABS. Products with a length of 5m are priced from $0.75 to $4.Upscale versions have a much longer life span, reaching 100,000 hours. The bulbs are usually sourced from Taiwan, while raw plastic with high temperature resistance is purchased in South Korea or Germany.
The economic crunch that hit key overseas markets contributed largely to the 22 percent decrease in exports of China-made Christmas lights. In 2008, the country shipped 385 million pieces, down from the previous year’s 498 million.The descent was less steep in terms of value, thanks to the higher average per-unit value in 2008. Exports amounted to $995 million, only 2 percent lower than 2007 levels.Customs statistics show that 40 percent of China’s exports in the line go to the US. Average monthly shipments bound for there are valued at $35 million. Other key markets are the UK and the Netherlands, importing $6.2 million and $5.8 million worth per month.Most Christmas light suppliers are located in Zhejiang and Guangdong. Combined exports from these provinces account for nearly 90 percent of the country’s total.
The company has worked out various LED chips for large-sized LED-backlit notebook PCs, effectively pushing up its single-month gross profit rate to a level of over 30% in the second quarter of this year, said Yeh. In light of upcoming strong demand, the firm has doubled its output of SMD (surface mount device) LED ships to 1.2 billion units per month, and is expecting record new highs in its single-month revenues in the second half of the year.Yeh also pointed out that despite downstream LED chip makers expanding their outputs, supply will likely still fall behind demand until the second half of next year. Recently, downstream LED testing and packaging companies have been plagued by severe shortages of LED chips, causing prices of LED chips to rise.
