The money will be used to launch the system in the European market

Industrifonden and Midroc New Technology are each investing SEK 10 million (US$ 1.5 million, EUR 1.1 million) in Heliospectra’s intelligent lighting system. The company has developed a unique, energy-efficient system for greenhouses that accelerates plant growth. Also participating in the led linear high bay light 30 million (US$4.5 million, EUR 3.3 million) issue are the company’s current owners and chairman. The money will be used to launch the system in the European market.

With Heliospectra’s system, growers can adjust how their plants grow and in this way control quality. This includes the thickness of the stem and leaf, the plant’s size and tolerance, and how quickly it grows.

This is done using a light emitting diode (led high bay light) system, which can be set at just the right wavelength needed to achieve the desired results for each type of plant. All plants have their own preferred wavelengths, and Heliospectra has the unique ability to develop algorithms that are adapted accordingly. Thus far the system is being used only on basil, which is the most abundantly grown crop in the greenhouse today, but the company is working on other plants.

while all of hit new record quarterly highs

As a result, to increase greenhouse yields and decrease producers' energy costs, they will team up with Rutgers University, the University of Arizona, Michigan State University, and Orbital Technologies Corp. on the four-year project to improve and evaluate LED lighting for greenhouse use, according to Cary Mitchell, a professor of horticulture and project director for the grant. Total sales from January through September of 2010 hit NT$92.88 billion, up 35% YoY.

although some of the monster screens had relatively narrow viewing angles

Spark new tunnel light series includes 50w, 75w, 100w, 125w, 150w, 175w, 200w, which could meet different project requirements. From the exhibition we know Spark new LED tunnel light will be more and more popular, and illluminate more and more tunnels all around the world. Consumer Reports didn't render a verdict after just a quick look, but noted that Sharp "has definitely taken the lead in larger TV screen sizes." It cited the 60-, 70- and 80-inch sets from the past, saying they had typically done well in TV ratings, although some of the monster screens had relatively narrow viewing angles. Consumer Reports pointed out a question that "not everyone has the room -- or room in the budget -- for a 90-inch set." So, when rolling out the world's biggest TV (in its class, anyway), why bother with subtlety and understatement, right?Sharp Electronics of America President John Herrington said it "offers size, picture quality and smart functionality unlike anyt

you to experience the latest developments in LED lighting technologies

In early 2012, the photometric testing laboratory of Edison Opto became the first LM 80 corporate testing laboratory to be certified by UL, and in September of the same year, the photometric testing laboratory was certified by UL as a product safety testing laboratory. The certifications in product safety and performance will enable Edison Opto to reduce the time spent on R&D and dive into the international market. Additionally, Edison Opto will be able to expand services globally to the various fields of lighting applications. Edison Opto has the advantage of rapid validation of the company’s internal testing laboratory, which allows Edison Opto to maintain its leading position in the global lighting market. Edison Opto will be exhibiting at INTERLIGHT MOSCOW 2012 (from 06 Nov. to 09 Nov., 2012, in IEC Expocentre, Booth F.A109) and Electronica 2012 (from 13 Nov. to 16 Nov., 2012, in Messe München, Hall A5, Booth A5.301).
