the growth of an industry with plenty of potential

Rare Earth Phosphor-based LEDs have an expected life of 50,000 hours and some are sold with five-year warranties, but so far the capital cost has inhibited uptake as quickly as the industry hoped. But overcapacity is forcing manufacturers to drop prices and raw materials, in the form of rare earth elements, have dropped to a third of where they were a year ago, according to the MetalMiner IndX?.

The unique combination of rare earths and semiconductor technology is also opening up the possibility for lighting, at least LED lighting, to mimic sunlight and colored tones rather than the harsher tones of conventional bulbs, which in turn opens up possibilities for lighting to be so much more than just a utility service.

Lighting manufacturers may be going through a competitive period of re-adjustment, but REE demand will benefit from the growth of an industry with plenty of potential.

 With its unique design, Vali Desk Lamp also wins the Hong Kong International Lighting Products Award 2012 – “Best Hongkong Design Award” and Best of The Fair Award For “Architectural/Commercial Lighting”, enhancing Ledoux’s brand recognition and leading position in the LED market.
