The LED series is also the first in the world to be a Zhaga certified luminaire

The IRiS P3LED series has recently been honored and recommended for specification in the 2012 INDOOR Next Generation Luminaires? (NGL) Solid-State Lighting Design Competition. The prestigious NGL competition recognizes and promotes excellence in the design of energy-efficient LED commercial lighting luminaires. The LED series is also the first in the world to be a Zhaga certified luminaire.

Ms. Steward joins the Kirkland, WA based company after spending eight years working for PNNL most of which involved supporting the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solid State Lighting (SSL) Commercialization Support Program.  In her new role, she will help Orb Optronix expand its LED Test and Measurement Services, LED Test and Measurement Products, and LED, SSL, Optical, and Software Engineering Services.  Her career includes work in Software Engineering, Critical Account Customer Support, and Solid-State Lighting.

We expect global sales to be about 60 percent of YAHAM going forward

Rice has served customers, built partnerships and done deals around the world for more than 20 years.He will be responsible for all non-U.S. markets with particular emphasis on high-growth markets such as China, India, the Middle East and Brazil where he will accelerate LED Linear high bay light efforts to meet customer needs with GE’s leading technology and services. In many of these markets, this includes GE’s “company to country” growth strategy in which GE works directly with governments to meet local needs. According to GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt, “We expect global sales to be about 60 percent of GE going forward. Our global growth has expanded by about 15 percent a year for most of the past decade and we expect it to continue in the future,” Rice will oversee 12 integrated local organizations that will include business development, commercial teams, finance, led high bay light controllership and legal. This will include China, India, Southeast Asia, Latin/South America,...

The specialty crop industry plays an enormously important part in American agriculture

The USDA Specialty Crops Research Initiative Award will include $2.44 million from the USDA and an equal amount of in-kind contributions of equipment and services from industry partners. The project is titled "Developing LED Linear high bay light Technology and Practices for Sustainable Specialty-Crop Production." Merrigan pointed out that” The specialty crop industry plays an enormously important part in American agriculture and is valued at approximately $50 billion every year. These projects will be key to providing specialty crop producers with the information and tools they need to successfully grow, process, and market safe and high-quality products." In the process of the project, Mitchell will test led high bay light on high-wire tomatoes. He believes that using LED lights on the sides of plants will increase photosynthesis and flowering, improving yield. Roberto Lopez, an assistant professor of horticulture, will work with about 20 species of bedding pla...

the color always varies even if the products are produced in the same lot

PowerSecure’s plan to exercise its option to increase its ownership of EfficientLights from 67% to 100% recognizes the highly successful results EfficientLights has posted to date, its strong backlog of orders for 2010, and its strong prospects for future growth. The transaction is expected to be accretive, and will involve the issuance of PowerSecure common shares in exchange for the remaining one-third minority interest in EfficientLights. The number of shares to be issued in exchange for the remaining one-third interest will be 1,000,000 shares, provided that if the average closing price of the PowerSecure shares over the ten days preceding the transaction is less than $10.00 per share, then the number of shares delivered increases to maintain a transaction value of $10.0 million. After the exercise of the EfficientLights option, EfficientLights will become a wholly-owned subsidiary and the Company will realize 100% of the EfficientLights profit, and will no longer reduce its net in...
