the results already gained in the field of short duration LED applications

Strauss introduce that the green source in a pico-projector producing a 100 lumen brightness must meet the requirements as following: an emission wavelength of 515 nm; an output power of at least led linear high bay light; a wall plug efficiency of 5 percent or more; and, in both the lateral and vertical directions, a single mode output. If a shorter wavelength source is used – for example, a 505 nm laser – the power output requirements are higher.

In close collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration (IZM) Heraeus has continued to work on the design optimization of its SCB substrates for LEDs. Quite apart from the results already gained in the field of short duration LED applications, the focus this time was put on applications of a longer duration. The aim now was to lower the junction temperature TJ of the applied LED chips and so enable a direct readout relating to the overall effectiveness of the thermal management in comparison to other substrate solutions. (The junction temperature is the temperature which arises in the barrier layer and thus its relevance to the ageing process of the semiconductor).

The theoretical FEM simulation had already prescribed at which parameters the junction temperature could be lowered by several degrees Celsius. Armed with this data, together with best practice approaches and optimum simulation results, the engineers laid down the sample substrate and assembled it in line with the predefined design.

The subsequent (de facto) thermal analysis of the led high bay light at the IZM proved that thanks to the optimized choice of material and the simultaneously defined and perfected design the TJ sank by as much as 12 °C in comparison to standard designs for short duration applications when operating under an electrical load of 1.5 W.  This drop in temperature has an extremely positive effect on the durability and brightness of the HBLED.

LED recessed downlighting options for general lighting in commercial

Cooper Lighting, a division of Cooper Industries plc (NYSE: CBE), has expanded its Halo LED H7 Collection offering additional choices in LED color temperatures and higher lumen options. The 6” LED downlight product line expansion–from the original Halo LED 600 Series–now includes the Halo LED 900 Series and Halo LED 1200 Series, offering a wide and versatile selection of energy-efficient LED recessed downlighting options for general lighting in commercial, retail, institutional and residential applications. Designed for new construction projects or to retrofit existing 6” nominal compatible housings (with an Edison screw base adapter included with the module), the Halo LED H7 Collection features excellent color rendering (80 CRI) and offers the industry’s widest selection of color temperatures (2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K). The superior optical design yields productive beam lumens providing smooth, even illumination, excellent cutoff and extremely low glare. Consuming less than 15W, ...

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 ...
