the fate of conventional lighting manufacturers

The president of Neo Neon stresses that their strategy is always minimize production costs to quickly gain market share. Investing in fully-integrated LED manufacturing enables them to escape the fate of conventional lighting manufacturers, who are relegated to do exclusively assembly for their operations are dictated by key-component suppliers.Randy Cheng, general manager of Neo-Neon’s Taiwan branch, says the investment has enabled them to cut costs of LED lights faster than projected. Cheng touts that the group’s LED production is much more cost-competitive than rivals’ for streamlined production. The chips will be installed in both indoor and outdoor lighting turned out by Neo Neon.

The Taiwanese-founded company is headquartered in Guangdong Province of mainland China, where its factory is built on 300 acres and outfitted with five German-made, high-performance metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) chambers to turn out 12,500 wafers with some 400 million chips initially, meeting about 70% of the demand from its LED-emitter production line. Fan says that the wafer factory’s chips will be used to make various lamps according to qualitative levels, with top-grade chips going into high-power lighting and outdoor signage, mid-range chips for other applications, and low-end chips into decorative lamps.

The company’s LED-lighting sales in 2007 and 2008 have contributed around 50% and 60% of its overall revenues, estimating such sales to further grow 20% this year. Part of such growth is expected to come from contracts, for which the company is vying, from four cities in Guangdong Province, whose total value of some 1.2 billion Chinese yuan is earmarked for LED streetlights.

Semiconductor lighting industry in Shenzhen develops rapidly in recent years

Orion’s LED fixture, designed to perform at temperatures as low as -20 degrees Fahrenheit, has been retrofitted in more than 3 million square feet of freezer and cold-storage space in facilities across the nation in the past several months. Companies with Orion LED technology in their facilities include US Foods, Sysco, Americold, and Save-A-Lot. The three approved Orion LED fixture models vary based on application-specific lens configuration. Orion’s LED fixtures are designed to replace traditional high intensity discharge and T8 and T5 fluorescent fixtures. Orion’s LED fixtures use 123 watts compared to 400-watt HIDs and 298-watt fluorescents. According to its Web site, the DLC is a collaboration of utility companies and regional energy efficiency organizations committed to raising awareness of the benefits of efficient lighting in commercial buildings. In order to be included on the DLC’s QPL, a product must meet or exceed specific industry standards. QPL inclusion is required for c...

Entertainment applications will adopt the new LEDs

The number and breadth of applications that require amber LEDs is tremendous,” said Frank Harder, VP of Product Marketing at Philips Lumileds. “Markets including automotive, entertainment, roadway, signaling, and many others use amber LEDs. With better efficiency and more light output, LUXEON Rebel PC amber makes it that much easier to reduce energy consumption with an environmentally friendly product.lamps to LEDs because they didn’t produce enough light and couldn’t operate effectively at higher temperatures. With the advances provided by LUXEON Rebel PC Amber, yellow traffic signals will be converted, warning lights and beacons on vehicles and obstructions will switch and entertainment applications will adopt the new LEDs. numbers of amber LEDs. With LUXEON Rebel PC Amber, manufacturers will be able to use fewer LEDs and lower other component costs because of the improved light output and particularly the stable color over temperature, something that has been problematic for many ...
