Lumecon Relume to supply more than 1,000 LED street lamp in Ann Arbor, Michigan

It is reported that the LED solid-state lighting engine and luminaries’ manufacturers Lumecon Relume Ann Arbor, Michigan (Ann Arbor) received contracts to supply more than 1,000 LED street lamps. It is understood that, Relume LED engine is based on performance-leading Cree decorative lights LEDs. Moreover, the contract is signed after the evaluation of 25 lamps, the initial investment is expected to be recovered after 3.8 years. Ann Arbor City officials said that this solution allows Ann Arbor to achieve savings in energy and maintenance costs. Each LED lamps consume only 56 watts and an expected life of 10 years. Ann Arbor's public lighting energy saving is expected to be reduced by half after the installation of LED streetlights. In addition, carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by 2,425 tons / year

Panasonic announces LED product line to strengthen the cause of its systems furniture

Japanese giant Matsushita Electric (Matsushita Electric Works; MEW) recently said that the Matsushita Group, Matsushita Electric Systems furniture business will use Panasonic's LED products "MFORCE" integrated into a series of furniture products, to provide customers with more choice of high-quality light source. Matsushita pointed out, the main kitchen systems furniture lighting using LED bulbs gu10 source is the industry's first feat, the Panasonic LED products MFORCE have longer life, smaller electricity consumption advantages, lighting 10 hours a day, the product of about 10 years of sustainable use. This combination of systems equipped MFORCE furniture the Panasonic's Advanced the product Omade XIMO,, old product price range of the series based on specifications ranging from about 1.1 million yen to 2.53 million yen, the equivalent of 9,268 U.S. dollars to 21,316 U.S. dollars price range; while carrying LED light source Omade XIMO reference price of 2.755 million yen, or about $ 23,200, will start taking orders in June 2006.

The American umbrella brand name totes launch LED flashlight umbrella

Known umbrella brand totes, Rolls-Royce said in the umbrella sector, has introduced a LED flashlight umbrella, umbrella with LED flashlight favorite outdoor activities can help to reduce the carrying equipment, but also be able to add all use walking on a rainy night security. The official website selling LED flashlight LED umbrella still rainy umbrella case, through the flashlight beam easily find the keyhole, or in many of the objects from the bag to find the items you want. Subsection umbrella Light Model in the U.S. price of about $ 22, there are four kinds of colors to choose from, with a three-fold function, while small umbrella body design to reduce the storage space placed. LED umbrella grip embedded LED lights, press the button on the grip, LED umbrella LED beam need to match the battery. Taiwan rain story import agent, the superfine hand opening of 990 yuan, while the folded automatically open receivables of $ 1,090. In fact, LED applications, there are many other examples in the umbrella, in addition to totes LED flashlight with umbrellas useful features, including Google Store has sold over Google Logo LED umbrella, manufacturers have to make an umbrella surface LED products, increased rain at night walking safety, vehicle also have the opportunity to make a deceleration or dodge the response to early detection and pedestrian use LED wall sconce lamps. Google Store before selling printed the Google Logo the LED Umbrella In addition, South Korea Fun shop also launched a special Light Saber Umbrella is actually implemented is to imitate the movie Star Wars light saber (Star Wars) (Light Saber).

The research team developed greatly enhances the efficiency of non-polar GaN LED

Scientist Shuji Nakamura, Steven DenBaars the auspices of the University of California, Santa Barbara (University of California, Santa Barbara; UCSB) non-polar GaN materials research team has announced the team developed a blue-violet InGaN LED, in200mA high current 250mW output power to create a new record high, with 41% external quantum efficiency (EQE). The results of the team is to make this LED 20mA of current, output power up to 28mW, then wavelengths up to 402nm, the suits the quantum efficiency of 45.4%, followed by the current to 200mA when the output power of 250mW the external quantum efficiency is only a slight decline in the extent of 41%. Been over-taken, through growth to build non-polar GaN LED as a means to improve performance, but at present the non-polar GaN candle light efficiency are less favorable than the traditional architecture of the LED panel light, the research team provided by Mitsubishi Chemical m-plane GaN substrate, which is the main reason for this study to obtain breakthrough results. Mitsubishi Chemical generated C-plane GaN by the HVPE method was sliced to obtain an m-plane GaN substrate. The research team is still working to build a more performance technology, and have already started to work through the standard process to build a new chip, and to try to improve product efficiency. However, it is commercialized, have to overcome the yield and the price of the m-plane GaN substrate, coupled with the very small size of the m-plane GaN substrate, how to apply the conventional MOCVD equipment to build, but not so cost is too high, is to be to overcome the problem.

Lamination Launched proprietary VIO high-power white LED

LED manufacturer Lamination launched a proprietary new VIO high-power white LED, subsection LED technology not only for white LED color shift to provide the most effective control, also has a more flexible performance. Lamination noted that the chip after the rated life of 50,000 hours, and the resulting color shifting is less than 100K, overcomes the standard blue tricolor LED a19 light many inherent color control problems. In addition, this LED Lamination own blue-violet chip technology, 405nm chip mixed phosphors together, converted into white light by the phosphor on the hemispherical lens will violet. VIO violet chip over the blue LED efficiency is higher than the warm temperature with high efficiency. At the same time, VIO LED reading light can avoid shadows LED frequently flashing lamps or light source produces a result of the number of bright spots. With a variety of features in terms of performance, VIO LED lumen maintenance of 70%, using the plug-and-play connection to simplify the manufacturing, without welding, reliability of GE level electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to two standards. At present, the white light the VIO LED, potential applications, including general lighting (chandeliers, the bracket wall lamp) landscape lighting, commercial lighting (task light display), (paths, the courtyard lighting) and architectural lighting (wall wash lights and marker lamps) replace traditional general illumination light source is also just around the corner.
