In addition to inhibiting degradation of light output efficiency

Increasingly, LED manufacturers are demanding improved detection and classification of yield relevant defects of interest, which enables them to take faster corrective actions to improve their yields at higher inspection throughput. There is also a growing need to boost productivity by enabling faster production recipe creation," said Jeff Donnelly, group vice president, Growth and Emerging Markets (GEM) at KLA-Tencor. "The ICOS WI-2280 addresses critical market requirements—ultimately enabling LED manufacturers to achieve better lumens per watt and lumens per dollar performance. We remain committed to advancing our industry-leading ICOS product line to meet the LED community's emerging needs.

Dow Corning, a global leader in silicones, silicon-based technology and innovation, further expanded its industry-leading portfolio of phenyl silicone optical encapsulants with five new two-part, heat-curable grades. The new products offer enhanced reliability, better anti-silver corrosion and greater durability for LED designs. They also further underscore Dow Corning’s commitment to driving best-in-class improvements in the performance and reliability of solid-state lighting.

Delivering improved anti-silver corrosion capabilities, Dow Corning? OE-6662 and OE-6652 optical encapsulants offer Shore D 64 and Shore D 59 levels of hardness, respectively. The improved gas barrier performance exhibited by both grades helps to protect delicate silver-plated LED electrodes from sulfur attacks. In addition to inhibiting degradation of light output efficiency, this can also help extend the overall quality and lifetime of advanced LED designs.

New grades of Dow Corning OE-7620, OE-7630, OE-7640 optical encapsulants provide hardness ranges from Shore D 26, 29 and 43, respectively. The lower hardness of these materials translates into enhanced mechanical protection for emerging LED packaging designs. In addition, all three new grades in this advanced product family offer greatly improved thermal and photostability over incumbent materials, to ensure consistent high optical quality over the lifetime of an LED light source.

LED recessed downlighting options for general lighting in commercial

Cooper Lighting, a division of Cooper Industries plc (NYSE: CBE), has expanded its Halo LED H7 Collection offering additional choices in LED color temperatures and higher lumen options. The 6” LED downlight product line expansion–from the original Halo LED 600 Series–now includes the Halo LED 900 Series and Halo LED 1200 Series, offering a wide and versatile selection of energy-efficient LED recessed downlighting options for general lighting in commercial, retail, institutional and residential applications. Designed for new construction projects or to retrofit existing 6” nominal compatible housings (with an Edison screw base adapter included with the module), the Halo LED H7 Collection features excellent color rendering (80 CRI) and offers the industry’s widest selection of color temperatures (2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K). The superior optical design yields productive beam lumens providing smooth, even illumination, excellent cutoff and extremely low glare. Consuming less than 15W, ...

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...

Entertainment applications will adopt the new LEDs

The number and breadth of applications that require amber LEDs is tremendous,” said Frank Harder, VP of Product Marketing at Philips Lumileds. “Markets including automotive, entertainment, roadway, signaling, and many others use amber LEDs. With better efficiency and more light output, LUXEON Rebel PC amber makes it that much easier to reduce energy consumption with an environmentally friendly product.lamps to LEDs because they didn’t produce enough light and couldn’t operate effectively at higher temperatures. With the advances provided by LUXEON Rebel PC Amber, yellow traffic signals will be converted, warning lights and beacons on vehicles and obstructions will switch and entertainment applications will adopt the new LEDs. numbers of amber LEDs. With LUXEON Rebel PC Amber, manufacturers will be able to use fewer LEDs and lower other component costs because of the improved light output and particularly the stable color over temperature, something that has been problematic for many ...
