the company′s existing portfolio of materials for LED applications

One important application for Makrolon? in this segment is that of lenses that bundle and guide the light from the LEDs. The specifications for such products are very strict: high purity, optimal light transmission, economical processing and, depending on the particular end use, additional properties such as flame retardance. The latest research product in Bayer MaterialScience’s LED portfolio is a material that is resistant to UV radiation and also has better transparency than the conventional polycarbonate grades currently used in outdoor applications in the lens segment.

These lenses are one example of an application that can benefit from the unique properties of Bayer MaterialScience′s new grade of Makrolon polycarbonate resin. The new grade was developed as a UV-stabilized, high light-transmission addition to the company′s existing portfolio of materials for LED applications.Bayer Material Science already manufactures a number of polycarbonate grades for the LED market which boast not only very high light transmittance but also good heat resistance and excellent stability under LED lighting current. All these products have special characteristics that are ideal for many LED applications.LED is the product with the highest light transmittance and is ideal for refractive optics, lenses, and light pipes and guides where, despite greater wall thicknesses or longer light paths, high transmission is specified. The Makrolon? LED 2245 grade has similar overall characteristics but slightly improved physical properties and a lower melt flow index. Both grades conduct white light up to a length of around 300 mm without any significant transmission losses.

The alliance allows Innolux to lower its production costs of LED monitors with sufficient supply of more economical LED chips secured by the partner. On the other hand, Nichia is also expected to benefit from its growing influence on the global market of LED backlights via the cooperation.After the alliance, quotations of Innolux LED monitors are surprisingly at the same levels as those of traditional CCFL models, and HP and Dell have increased their orders with the firm, according to the report. Having shipped 24.5 million LED monitors so far this year, the firm expects to reach its original annual shipment goal of 37 million units, or even more than 40 million units for this year.Designed as a compact stand-alone lighting alternative for off-grid parking lots and other municipal, commercial or industrial areas, the new EverGEN 1710 light combines advanced motion-sensing capabilities with a range of energy saving operating profiles to ensure bright, reliable illumination whenever and wherever it’s needed.

the flexible LED light strips are also ideal for commercial

Visible Light Solar is the first commercial and industrial lighting company to fully integrate LED lighting devices, solar power technology and advanced power management systems in exterior and interior lighting fixtures. The company's broad line of solar/LED lighting applications operate up to 85 percent more efficiently than their standard counterparts. In addition to dramatically lowering energy consumption, Visible Light Solar's LED solutions reduce ongoing maintenance costs through much longer lifetime expectancy than HID bulbs (five to 10 years versus one year for most HID bulbs). The bulbs are also resistant to thermal and vibrational shocks, and because they do not contain toxic materials like mercury, or require ballasts that often contain PCBs, they are more environmentally sustainable.

Our concept included a Plexiglass panel with sandblasted designs, and OPTEK’s LEDs were placed in the frame of each panel to provide just the right amount of light to illuminate the bridge without excessive light pollution to the surrounding areas,” said Matt Poisel, civil engineering student at North Carolina State University. “We won the competition and were able to build our proposed bridge. Without OPTEK’s donation, this project would not have been the success that it was.”

In addition to bridge lighting, the flexible LED light strips are also ideal for commercial and residential illumination, under-counter lighting, media illumination, large area backlighting, small to medium channel letters, point of sale displays, and neon replacement lighting.

cities have carried out LED streetlamp demonstration projects

Restricted by the high prices of LED, undetermined industrial standard and unsolved problems as lighting shapes, lifetimes and reliabilities, the market scale of the global LED lighting industry in 2007 was only 330 million USD. Among them, the building lighting application is the primary market resource with a scale of 350 million USD, accounting for about 45% of the whole market scale. With the improvement of LED technologies and the broadness of LED application areas, it is estimated that the market scale in 2012 will reach 1.6 billion USD and the compound growth rate from 2007 to 2012 will reach 35%.

Besides in the lighting area, LEDs are also widely used in backlights, displays, automobile markets and transport information areas. According to statistics, Chinese domestic LED industry remains an annual growth rate of over 20% in recent years.China Ministry of Science and Technology has put National Semiconductor Lighting Project on the Eleventh Five-year Development Program of Science and Technology and authorized 5 LED industrial bases in Shanghai, Dalian, Nanchang, Xiamen and Shenzhen. At present, Beijing, Guangdong, Fujian, Shaanxi, Liaoning and other cities have carried out LED streetlamp demonstration projects.

The T9 light tubes are easy to install and are available in three white color temperatures, 3300k (cool white), 4200k (neutral white) and 6500k (warm white) and are sold in lengths of 1 to 5 feet. These 24V tubes are available in both 50o and 100o viewing angles and each tube includes two mounting hardware options which can rotate up to 120o. Whether your application is in need of the 50o or 120o angle of light, either angle delivers high lumen output which can be dimmed to any desired brightness using Marktech’s low voltage remote LED dimmer module. Engineered to last in excess of 50,000 hours, these sturdy aluminum tubes virtually eliminate maintenance hassles and replacement cost issues typically associated with fluorescents tubes. The T9 LED lights also contain no lead, mercury or glass, making handling and disposal less of a concern, and also is RoHS compliant.
