The greentech industry encourages our focus on technology development and product innovation

The Top 200 list recognizes companies that are pioneers in developing the technologies of tomorrow.  2012 winners are pushing outside the confines of existing markets and mapping the path toward global sustainability. Companies were selected based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value and media buzz. The winning companies will be honored at the annual LED high bay light Venture Summit at the Golden Gate Club in San Francisco on November 27th and 28th.

“We are honored to once again be included in the GoingGreen Global 200 list. This validates our passion and commitment to driving market adoption of energy efficient solid state lighting,” said Bill Watkins, Bridgelux chief executive officer. “Recognition from influencers and experts in the greentech industry encourages our focus on technology development and product innovation.”

“This year’s GoingGoing Global 200 displays a maturity in the green technology industry that makes it very attractive to both investors and innovators,” says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “This year’s GoingGreen Global 200 winners are pushing the bounds of how technology can bring about change in the war on our planet’s waning resources. The strength of these companies lies in their ability to nurture innovative ideas and seen them through to successful, sustainable, and profitable businesses.”

Indoor lighting plays a critical role in all retail environments, particularly home furnishings stores where varying woods, fabrics and finishes must be properly illuminated over open, expansive spaces. And with often thousands of fixtures under one roof, lighting costs—from electricity to replacement lamps—can quickly add up.

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 ...
