The 250mm (10-inch) sapphire substrate was provided by Monocrystal Inc of Stavropol, Russia, which provides sapphire products and metallization pastes to the semiconductor, optical, and photovoltaic industries.

According to Kyma, until recently, the wafer diameter standard for GaN LED wafer manufacturing has been 50mm (2”). Recently, sapphire manufacturers have made much progress in increasing the size of sapphire boules from which ever larger sapphire substrates can be sliced, with sapphire diameter demonstrations up to 12” being achieved by certain sapphire providers. This has enabled some of the major GaN LED makers to begin transitioning to larger-diameter sapphire - up to 150mm (6-inch) in some cases - to enhance manufacturing throughput and to achieve better economies of scale. While 10-inch sapphire based AlN templates are currently simply a demonstration, Kyma believes that the LED community will begin looking beyond 150mm (6-inch) diameter in the next few years.

The new LED headlamp are passed the National certification in the field of Automotive Headlamps testing in Tianjin, Changchun and Xiangyang, which is the first in China.

realize more creative lighting visions to build a world that works bette

Now, faced with great changes in global lighting industry, GE lighting is committed to leading a global lighting revolution and establishing a world-class operation platform through green innovative lighting solutions and commercial transformation that change the way people light their world in commercial, industrial, municipal and residential settings. The Guangzhou International Lighting Fair is great opportunity for GE Lighting to showcase its advanced products and solutions that drive industrial transformation, collaboration and communication, and realize more creative lighting visions to build a world that works better.

Based on the project of promoting LED lighting in Guangdong which was announced on May 23, the government stressed that LED lighting should be installed in roadways, public places, government agencies, state-owned enterprises and public institutions, lighting projects fund by government capital as well as the new district to build in Nansha, Qinhai and Hengqin since the project takes effect. In addition, other existing lighting products which are not LEDs should be replaced by the end of 2014.

According to the plan, the Pearl River Delta schedules to complete LED public lighting popularization by the end of 2013, and other areas in Guangdong intend to complete it by the end of 2014. It’s expected to save over 50% of energy in lighting ,and drive the output of LED industry in Guangdong to 500 billion yuan by the end of the 12th Five-Year Plan.

diffuses light like the incandescent light bulb

The new bulb gives off almost 1160 lumens, and consumes 11.4 watts. It can be available in E26-base, and diffuses light like the incandescent light bulb. With the new bulb, it can not only improve the brightness, but also reduce power consumption.

Nuclear power shortage has driven up demand for LED lamps after the March 11 earthquake. Hitachi Appliances will diversify LED bulbs on brightness and light distribution to cater different demands from customers.

JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, the global leader in the development of standards for the microelectronics industry, announced the publication of a new series of standards for component level testing of high-brightness/power LEDs. Development within JEDEC’s JC-15 Committee involved LED industry leaders, and resulted in the new JESD51-5x series of standards aimed at thermal characterization of power LED components.  The series is in compliance with the International Commission on Illumination (CIE)’s existing LED measurement recommendations.

As the efficiency of power LEDs has improved over time (now in the range of 20-40% depending on the type of LED), the use of high-brightness/power LEDs as a lighting source has become widespread in diverse applications in numerous industries. In these use cases, thermal design is critical in order to ensure expected LED lifetimes and light output, and the design process requires accurate thermal data for LED components. Prior to the publication of the JESD51-5x series, a lack of widely accepted thermal testing standards for power LED components meant that published data sheet information was often questionable. Therefore, development of the new standards was urgently needed.

LED systems offer a fantastic energy saving opportunity

Lumentalk is a ground breaking technology that uses a proprietary communications protocol to control lighting fixtures digitally using analog dimming platforms and infrastructure,” said Greg Campbell, Lumenpulse Executive Vice President and CTO. “This is the first patent secured by Lumenpulse and is a validation of our vision for turning standard analog environments into intelligent, digital networks.”

The recipient of a Product Innovation Award (PIA) in March, 2012, Lumentalk enables LED fixtures from any manufacturer to be dimmed and controlled over existing power lines, and works with most control or dimming standards (TRIAC, ELV, 0-10V, DALI, or DMX). Lumentalk uses AC voltage (100V - 277V) and operates within frequency bands allocated by worldwide regulations (FCC, CENELEC, ARIB).

“LED systems offer a fantastic energy saving opportunity. As well as being efficient, they can be controlled and dimmed to maximize savings,” said Fran?ois-Xavier Souvay, Lumenpulse Founder, President and CEO. “But, because they are semiconductors, they have the ability to do more; to communicate. Until now the challenge has been the cost and complexity of installing a data line to enable that communication. Lumentalk is able to address that challenge by using existing infrastructure, which removes the main obstacles and opens the door to countless energy saving projects.”

Lumenpulse currently has 26 patents pending for innovations resulting from the company’s intensive investment in its R&D strategy. Lumentalk is one of a number of innovations developed to accelerate the adoption of controllable LED lighting systems by enabling energy savings.

Globally recognized as an engineering marvel and symbol of New York City, the Empire State Building (ESB) has selected Philips, the world’s leader in lighting, as its partner to transition the building’s iconic tower lights to innovative LEDs. The two organizations have pushed the boundaries of Led high bay light technology to develop a state-of-the-art dynamic lighting system from Philips Color Kinetics that is unique to ESB and will allow the building’s façade and mast to change lighting scenes in real-time.  In addition to greater control and management of the lighting, the new system will deliver the superior light levels for the design, as well as allow ESB to highlight its architectural details.

the LEDs lose a major part of this efficiency at high current lighting due to the droop feature

Household bulbs generate white light due to the mix of wavelengths with the hue produced from blue and green LEDs. These valuable colors are the ‘droopiest’ of the LEDs and are difficult to design.

LEDs have increased energy-efficiency compared to the heat-generating incandescent bulbs. However, the LEDs lose a major part of this efficiency at high current lighting due to the droop feature. Although the droop-causing factor has not been clearly resolved, the research team at Led high bay light has devised an innovative technique to reduce droop by revolutionizing the production method of LEDs.

LED chips are created from layers of doped semiconductors packed together. By applying voltage through these layers, migration of electrons and holes takes place, which is directed toward an active layer area of LED, resulting in a photon. The commercially available blue LEDs, the c-plane accommodate the crystals that bind the semiconductor layers. Based on this standard orientation of the crystals, electrical fields that intervene during integration of the electrons and holes can be created.The research team from UCSB designed LEDs that consist of tilted and non-traditional crystal orientations that reduce the field’s effect, showing minimal droop. Based on this approach, compact and low-cost LED chips were developed by the researchers.

Under the ‘Solar Street Lighting Program in City Corporation’ project, the Power Division will introduce solar energy-driven LED technology covering one thousand kilometers of streets of Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal, Sylhet and Rangpur city corporations.Our innovation team has tackled a previously insurmountable technical challenge: cooling a Led linear high bay light shaped replacement LED bulb without making it physically bigger,” says Steve Briggs, general manager of LED systems, GE Lighting. “Each subsystem such as optics, electronics and thermals needed to be designed for miniaturization and cooperative performance. We explored the limits of what’s possible and pushed far beyond industry expectations and competitors’ thinking and product offerings.”
