the second quarter as undercutting competition among the manufacturers has less intensive

Liu noted that the LED industry has begun recovering since the second quarter as undercutting competition among the manufacturers has less intensive. He estimated price decline in the LED market to be less than 5% in the second half.

So far, a 7W LED light bulb has marked down to the US$10 range and is expected to further drop at a double digit rate until the end of 2013, Liu estimated. At the same time,LED high bay light are gaining penetration rate mostly thanks to increased uses in TVs and tablet PCs.

Kyma’s new product offering is called the Kyma100 HVPE System and leverages over a decade of company experience in the design, construction, and application of HVPE process equipment for manufacturing GaN materials. It’s high purity, vertical flow, hot wall design supports production of n-type conductive GaN at growth rates up to 500 μm per hour. The background impurity concentration is less than 1x1017cm‐3. Complete with a process for production of high quality GaN on sapphire templates, the system can grow up to three 2-inch diameter wafers or one 4-inch diameter wafer at a time.

“Demand for our AlN and GaN template products is growing, yet many of our volume customers prefer to bring the template manufacturing process in-house,” says Keith Evans, Kyma president & CEO. “Adding LED linear high bay light equipment to our product line is a natural step in Kyma’s growth, and represents the first of several new equipment product offerings we plan to announce in the coming weeks.”

The acquisition expands Johnson Controls lighting services beyond the school

Patriot Taxiway Industries, Inc stepped into aerospace and aeropart manufacturing a little over 20 months ago in Omro, Wisconsin, then transferred to a superior manufacturing plant in Lomira, Wisconsin. Patriot Taxiway president and vetrepreneur, Steven A. Smits, who served in the U.S. Air Force and is still enlisted in the Air National Guard, had a lot weighing on the fulfillment of their first contract. The team comprised of more than 70% veterans, produced and delivered all 2,000 remotely controlled lighting systems on schedule to their international destinations. Smits credited their manufacturing efficiency and the quality of the LED products they provide to the veterans and other team members. The acquisition expands Johnson Controls lighting services beyond the school, healthcare and government markets it currently serves as NES provides lighting upgrade and maintenance solutions largely for retail, commercial, and industrial customers. Johnson Controls also will provide effecti...

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...
