LED Light Engines can be used to place products

The E8 portfolio has been created to offer Individual Lighting solutions for application in areas where not only adaptability, cost-effectiveness, and energy-efficiency, but also individuality, are the focus of the end-user" states Mr. Erwin Baumgartner, Managing Director, LUMITECH." The E8 Downlight offers tuneable white light, enhancing well-being in accordance with human biorhythms, and is therefore perfectly suited for application in Restaurant, Hotel, Wellness and Residential Lighting."

Based on PI-LED® technology, LUMITECH's LED Light Engines, will also be featured at the fair, demonstrating individual light control for best "Value Lighting" and developed for application in Shops and Museums. With the correct colour temperature, goods are demonstrably fresher and more attractive looking. LUMITECH's LED Light Engines can be used to place products such as clothing, jewellery and food items in their best light, as well as providing a UV/IR free solution for Museum lighting.

After seven months of intense competition, the first Cree Cup - Creative LED Lighting Design Contest for China university students jointly organized by the China Association of Lighting Industry (CALI) and Cree, Inc. has ended, culminating in an award ceremony held at the China LED Technology and Application Forum. Finalist works were showcased in the “China Hotel Lighting Exhibition.”

Nearly 1,000 students, representing approximately 100 universities in China, submitted hundreds of design entries. Fifty designs were chosen for the final round of judging. Winners were chosen based on the following criteria: creativity, practicality, marketability, LED performance, artistic quality and energy efficiency. The judging panel consisted of LED industry experts, scholars and industrial design/lighting application experts. First prize, including RMB 20,000 (approximately US$3,000), was awarded to Huang Jiongzhang, Du Weizheng and Ni Yujun from Taiwan’s National Cheng Kung University. Titled “Lighting to Share,” the design uses a magnetic effect to form different lighting modes, emphasizing lighting effects and LED lighting features.

We were delighted to see so many wonderful designs during the competition

Dou Linping, secretary general of the China Association of Lighting Industry and member of the judging panel, commented, “We were delighted to see so many wonderful designs during the competition and we’d like to congratulate all the winning teams and universities. We’re happy to see that the submitted works were not only highly creative but also functionally sound. As the LED lighting market continues to grow, we will need more and more talents in this field, and we will continue to offer platforms like this contest to students in order to facilitate their growth and knowledge.”

Excellence awards were presented to all the finalists by the organizing committee. Chris James, led highbay light vice president of market development, stated, “Cree partnered with the China Association of Lighting Industry to organize this contest. Our core objectives were to develop LED technology as the lighting source of the 21st century and to discover and motivate highly innovative and high-caliber LED design talents We are pleased to see such outstanding works submitted by undergraduates, and we sincerely thank the advisors and universities for their support!”

Prof. Zhan Qingxuan, a renowned scholar in the building lighting industry, and Professor and PhD supervisor at the School of Architecture in Tsinghua University, congratulated the winners and praised the instructions that Cree had given to the students during the competition. During the contest, the contestants received extensive support from Cree, from instruction on the techniques of LED design and provision of LED components, to the funding of LED components.

The system integrator concept improves the service and customer satisfaction levels of the LLFY network. The network provides a clear roadmap in the highly fragmented LED market supports potential users of LED technology and helps find expert partners for partial and complete project. OSRAM certifies the LLFY partners in accordance with strict quality guidelines.

In response to the increasing energy price and the global warming problem, LED related application imbued with energy-saving concept is thriving nowadays. To accommodate the growing LED lighting market, many industrial countries established LED related policies to support this prospective industry. After launching CLG-100 series, MEAN WELL introduced another 96W cost effective metal case LED power supplies with active PFC function and IP66 level ~ CEN-100 series.

With special mechanical design, CEN-100 series can meet IP66 requirement perfectly and save the cost of expensive heat-conducting glue. Meanwhile, thanks to the simplified single stage PFC topology, the required high power factor for the lighting industry can be achieved economically. In addition, the upper cover of CEN-100 have two small holes with waterproof structure that users can adjust the output current (75~100%) or voltage (±10%) easily without removing the cover.

The Munich lighting manufacturer’s latest LED innovation is a winner with its warm white light (2,700K), colour-rendering index (CRI) of more than 90 and luminous flux of over 1,800lm while using only 15W of power. With its compact size it is especially suited to integration in downlights or spots.The problem-free reproducibility and stability of its opto-electronic features are particularly worth mentioning. Which means special chromaticity coordinate control techniques can achieve variations below the visual perception threshold. Chromaticity coordinate deviations are within LM-80 guidelines.YAHAM has achieved this efficiency record by bundling the electronic and mechatronic skills of its solid-state lighting (SSL) business unit and the LED expertise of YAHAM Opto Semiconductors in Regensburg (Germany). Measurements were taken at the company’s in-house development laboratory.
