The control system has been designed for maximum flexibility

A fully corrosion resistant light, the HALSS-48-2L-LED contains two 24 Watt LED tubes and produces 4100 lumens. The Magnalight T-series bulbs are vibration-proof and last 50,000 hours, while producing approximately 15% more illumination than a common 40 watt T12 bulb. Supported by an integral reflector and encased in a stainless steel housing, the hazardous location area light is ideal for extreme vibration environments, where the fixture will be constantly exposed to saltwater and other substances that would degrade or corrode the aluminum housing based fixtures, like the HAL-48-2L. The HALSS-48-2L-LED is a four foot, 2 lamp light with a UL 844 Class 1 Division 2 rating. Like the HALSS-48-2L, the current fluorescent model, the new stainless steel model with LED tubes is available with approximately 1 week lead time. Offering a 95,000 capacity, Soccer City is located near Soweto, and will see a major part of the 2010 FIFA World Cup action, including the Final and the tournament's...

work together as a system to improve building performance

In addition to its renowned Daylighting Institute and LIGHTFAIR Institute courses and workshops and its six seminar tracks, the LFI educational program will now offer a new category within the seminar tracks — Integrated Building Design & Optimization, which encompasses integrated building design processes as well as component technologies that work together as a system to improve building performance. The mandatory phase-out of the 100-watt incandescent and frosted light bulb takes effect in Europe Tuesday. The move was part of European Union’s drive to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent by the year 2020 in the fight against global warming. Factories must immediately stop producing frosted incandescent bulbs and the least efficient 100-watt clear bulbs, but shops will be allowed to sell their remaining stock of such bulbs. Lower wattage incandescent light bulbs will also be phased out by 2012, and a similar ban is set to begin in the United States in 2012. Under the ne...

the grades offer specific characteristics ideal for a variety of LED applications

As part of its commitment to the growing LED (light-emitting diode) lighting market, Bayer MaterialScience LLC has introduced a new grade of polycarbonate resin to its already extensive portfolio. The new grade, Makrolon? LED2243, was developed as a UV-stabilized, high-light transmission addition to Bayer MaterialScience’s existing materials for LED applications. Bayer Material Science already offers several grades of polycarbonate for the LED market that feature very high light transmission, high thermal stability, excellent stability under high LED flux and clear flame retardant properties. All of the grades offer specific characteristics ideal for a variety of LED applications. Edison Opto Corporation is a Taipei, Taiwan based global leading high power LED manufacturer. The company offers a comprehensive product line ranging from 1 Watt to 100 Watt, single-chip to multi-chip, and high flux to high CRI. The diversified product offering will answer to even the most challenging fix...

lighting fixtures manufacturers

Due to increased demand for our products, the Enfis sales team required additional, external resources that could support and enhance its efforts," said Dan Polito, president of Enfis Lighting North America. ACS's longstanding relationships with the leaders of the lighting industry throughout the United States and Canada will enable Enfis to reach more decision-makers and significantly expand its total share of the lighting market, he added. As a part of the agreement, Associated Component Sales will sell the complete Enfis line of high-power LED arrays, electronic drivers, optics, and accessories, to luminaire and lighting fixtures manufacturers, Enfis' primary market. Driven by Philips Lumileds Rebel LED emitters, the latest PowerLux LED Light Bar from Powermicro is ideal for architectural, decorative as well as general lighting, with dimmable function and DMX colour change control. The LED emitters has a 50,000 hours life span. It can be operated as a standalone l...

light output requirement for LED lighting fixtures

LEDs are inherently durable and long-lasting components. However, achieving the LED's long lifetime performance requires careful design and testing of the electronic power and control systems and the thermal network. The extensive characterization and reliability testing that OptoElectronix incorporates into every product is the result of its extensive experience in LED and semiconductor technology product development and manufacturing.OptoElectronix estimates that the solid-state lighting (SSL) light engine market, which includes the LEDs, thermal network, power driver circuitry, and optics -- all incorporated into one module -- will be approximately $5.516 billion in 2012.  The application circuit with BCR 450 has low component count and is free of inductors, capacitors and free-wheeling diode resulting in a very small PCB space requirement. This includes the elimination of electrolytic capacitors which limit the lifetime of switch-mode driver solutions. Infineon also implement...

the LED activities of the other Group brands

TridonicAtco CEO Walter Ziegler was similarly enthusiastic about the new partnership: "By providing energy-efficient circuitry we enable our customers to realise sustainable lighting solutions. Through the new development centre we will be able to shorten our development cycles and to further reinforce our leading patent position in the field of state-of-the art lighting control gear. At the same time, this move sends out a signal that, despite the tough economic times, we are stepping up our investments in research and development to safeguard the long-term success of our business." Dialog Semiconductor creates the world’s most energy-efficient, highly integrated, mixed-signal integrated circuits optimised for personal mobile, automotive and lighting applications. With a fabless business model, the company provides flexible and dynamic support, world-class innovation, and the assurance of dealing with an established business partner. Customers with a significant contributi...

LED backlight market is highly optimistic with substantial market growth

According to AUO’s forecasts, global LED TV penetration will reach 3~5% in 2009, and continue its climb to 10% in 2010. In facing tighter supply of LED chips in 2010, Epistar remains AUO’s primary supplier. Meanwhile, Lexstar, AUO’s own chipmaker, has been positioned as a chip solution provider, focusing on R&D to design the most suitable chip for LED TV. Lextar has recently completed the setup of its manufacturing plant in June, and has already commissioned 2 ~ 4 machines for small-scale trial production. Earliest chip production, though in small quantity, is expected in the third quarter. Meanwhile, Sharp has also expressed that it will be converting its entire production line to LED TV in 2011; this will further stimulate the explosive growth of LED backlight panels in 2010. Taiwan’s upstream LED makers have accelerated their capacity expansion plans to fulfill the demand gap – before year end, Epistar and FOREPI will each introduce 10 and 11 high-brightness Blue-ray MOCVD sys...
