Standardization has become a key factor in LED adoption in the global lighting market - not only in safety standards and performance standards but also more importantly, in reliability and lifetime testing. LM80 is the lighting standard by which all major LED manufacturers are complying with for lumen maintenance testing. It is a standardized test method of at least 6,000 hours and at certain controlled conditions that is required of all lighting LEDs so that each LED tested, regardless of manufacturer, can be judged against other tested LEDs on an equal scale and compared. SSL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd (TSMC), one of world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers. Inheriting TSMC’s expertise in semiconductor manufacturing and rigorous quality control processes, TSMC SSL has announced several types of LED emitters that feature extraordinarily high performance brightness, efficacy, and light quality. Cnlight, one of the most respected light...

The company’s chairman, Alpha Wu, estimates global demand for LED backlights to be stronger than expected this quarter, noting the company has secured orders to keep production lines humming at least until December mostly due to a brisk TV market in China driven by government subsidies. Wu said when the company developed patented lenses for direct-view backlights two years ago made the company the joke the industry for adding to TV thickness, but felt such lens design made LED TVs more competitive. Widespread replacement of cold cathode fluorescent lamp with LED as the primary backlight for LCD panels proves the success of the company’s investment in lens technology.This year, the company’s sales will be mostly driven by backlights for tablet PCs, laptops and TVs. In tablet PC market, the company has reportedly penetrated supply chains of Google, Amazon, Asustek and Microsoft. So far, the company has filled 30-40% of global market for LED backlights for non-Apple tablet PCs.

We continue to experience strong economic headwinds on a global scale, which affect growth going forward. Our Accelerate! program is helping to mitigate some of these pressures, and we have full confidence in our ability to continue improving the operational and financial performance of the company. Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust expect to achieve savings in the region of ￡21,000 after retrofitting LED lighting in several areas of the building, and payback in some areas is projected to take less than 2 years. The retrofit programme, delivered by advanced LED specialists Light Planet, has also reduced energy consumption by 68% and significantly lowered maintenance demands. The challenging combination of ambitious carbon reduction commitments and increasingly restricted budgets faced by the healthcare sector makes the appeal of energy-efficient lighting solutions stronger than ever. Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust identified LEDs as “a technology th...

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...

HID lamps and LED are the future of general and automotive lighting as these feature not only good quality of light but also low levels of energy consumption. They do not yet however fulfil all typical demands for these sectors. In this regard, HID lamps for general lighting can only be conditionally dimmed, do not have instant light and the complete system with ballast is not compact enough; LED and its operating electronics have to fight with the higher temperatures in vehicles. Purchase costs are also comparably high. In order to make HID and LED marketable to a wide public, a consortium from across Europe has been committed since 2010 to the European SEEL project, planned to run over a three year period. Companies and research institutes from Germany such as AUDI AG, BAG electronics, Bender + Wirth, Elmos Semiconductor, Infineon Technologies, the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Micro-integration Berlin, NXP Semiconductors, OSRAM AG, Philips Technologie GmbH (Aachen) and th...

Businesses such as Starbucks, Walmart, Target and Marriott believe in the power of Holonyak’s invention. They understand that LED systems deliver value not just through energy-cost savings. Maintenance-cost savings are significant because LEDs last longer than any other light source. The LED value proposition isn’t reserved for retail giants operating thousands of locations. Smaller regional grocers and other retail chains, such as Food City and Wawa, are getting in on the act. One of the fastest growing applications of LED systems—roadway and area lighting—holds appeal for cities as big as Las Vegas and as small as Superior, Nebraska, population 2,000. Holonyak, in the GE interview, remembers feeling that he was onto something big when “the magic one” first illuminated: “I know that I’m just at the front end but I know the result is so powerful…there’s no ambiguity about the fact that this has got a life way beyond what we’re seeing.” Holonyak has called the LED the “ultimate lamp” be...
