Osram have agreed to maintain ties in the areas of sales

Increasing environmental awareness has focused attention on LED lighting as a sustainable product. Especially following the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, the adoption of LED lightings has accelerated in Japan as a means of saving energy. Now that advances in led linear high bay light have created needs to integrate lamps and lighting fixtures, the joint venture relationship between Mitsubishi Electric and Osram will be constructively dissolved in the process of the merger. However, in consideration of the solid 23-year relationship, Mitsubishi Electric and Osram have agreed to maintain ties in the areas of sales and production, and continue to be strategic global partners in the lighting business.

Mitsubishi Electric's new lighting company will handle a wide variety of products, from lamps to lighting fixtures, which will strengthen Mitsubishi Electric's capabilities to satisfy market demands and offer customer solutions. The company will expand its product lineup by enhanced development capabilities realized through the integration of resources for marketing and development. It will also strengthen product development, mainly for led high bay light products, through the combination of technological synergies and cooperation with Mitsubishi Electric's R&D centers.

According to industry executives, chipmakers Epistar and Formosa Epitaxy Inc. have sold out their capacities for the second quarter while productions at packagers Evelight and Unity Opto Technology Co., Ltd. are approaching full capacity. Harvatek Corp. has won contracts to supply LED backlights used in iPads while Opto Tech Corp. has secured subcontracts from Sharp. According to Unity Opto executives, the company has recently landed considerable orders from customers planning to replace traditional lamps with LED lamps in offices and commercial sites. They estimated vigorous LED replacements for traditional lamps will start in June this year.

Hai pointed out that inquiries for the said products from Japanese customers are expected to keep increasing in the short term. And the company is optimistic about business outlooks in the second quarter of this year.

This closes a gap with the very large goniometers

In addition, Shih said that the requirement will be more flexible than the existing ceiling of 10% stake owned by Chinese investors in existing enterprises and stricter than the 50% ceiling in new joint ventures.The third-wave mainland Chinese investments have been approved by Taiwan Executive Yuan (the Cabinet) and are scheduled to take effect by the end of March. The LGS 250 was developed specifically for the analysis of angle-dependent spatial radiation properties from small to medium-sized SSL luminaires, lamps and LED modules. This closes a gap with the very large goniometers. The horizontal alignment of the Type C coordinate system facilitates a particularly convenient and compact test setup for the system. Measurements can be taken in a range of +/- 160° in the forward direction of the test specimen which may have a maximum diameter of up to 480 mm and a maximum weight of 8 kg. Combined with a spectroradiometer from Instrument Systems, all spectral quantities such as color coord...

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...
