It happens nearly a quarter-billion times a day in the USA

They've soared in popularity, and now the U.S. government is having its say over the regulation of electronic cigarettes. The FDA is banning the sale of e-cigarettes to minors — but flavors such as chocolate or bubble gum, which public health officials say might attract children, are fine. The proposed rules won't ban advertising unless the products make health-related claims.
Nation's bridges are falling apart — and we're still driving on them
It happens nearly a quarter-billion times a day in the USA: A car drives across one of the nation's 63,000 structurally compromised bridges. That's from a new analysis by the industry group the American Road & Transportation Builders Association, which is warning that the situation might get worse. The report comes against the backdrop of growing cries of alarm that the federal Highway Trust Fund, normally used to pay for roads and transit projects, could be insolvent by the fall unless Congress acts.


the coverage of discount beneficiaries

Currently, there are about 20 products eligible to use the Lighting Facts label. And Radionic is the first to receive the label for under-cabinet LED lighting fixtures, the DOE has confirmed.Similar to the label one might find on the back of a food carton, Radionic will include a “Lighting Facts” label (see image) on its LED products so that consumers can more easily understand and compare solid-state lighting products.The lighting industry has yet to release an affordable, high quality under-cabinet led high bay light, said Radionic CEO Jeffrey Winton. The first Radionic products to undergo the independent lab tests required to receive the Lighting Facts label included its ZX Series in warm white. The ZX Series is engineered to emit comparable light to a typical fluorescent under-cabinet fixture, but will use approximately half the energy, according to the company.

The five measures include replacing Taiwan`s 260,000 incandescent traffic lights with LED lamps, further cutting electrical-bill discount rate and enlarging the coverage of discount beneficiaries, applying solar energy to public buildings, building a solar power plant, and assisting local governments set up LED-streetlight demonstration system.The government will appropriate NT$484 million (US$14.6 million) from its economic stimulus budget to finance installation of solar-energy equipment at selected public sites, according to Senior MOEA officials. And this measure is estimated to bring NT$1 billion (US$30.3 million) worth of business to the island’s solar-energy industry as well as sharpen its competitive edge.

Discount beneficiary coverage, according to the officials, will be expanded to include public facilities at residential communities, residential houses as well as junior and senior high schools already using the discount incentive. Maximum discount rate can reach 70%, and the new formula will come into effect on July 1.The measure will save estimated 3.8 billion megawatt/hour of electricity and over 3.29 million metric tons of carbon-dioxide emission in 2009.With testing and evaluation complete, Greenlight and Array have concluded a national and municipal/public works accounts sales agreement for Array's full line including PAR30, PAR16, MR16 and GU10-type LED replacement lamp products.

Can users continuously buy the same LEDs luminaires for a long period

LEDs for illumination seem to be rapidly growing in some developing countries, particularly in China for government backed national-wide street lighting projects. But traditional lighting giants still hesitate to jump into this huge market since some intrinsic issues exist in the LEDs industry for real illumination applications. The problems can be concluded “Does the useful life (L70) of high power LEDs lighting Luminaires can be really lasting for a long term (>50,000 hrs) as claimed? Do lighting companies can offer a sustainable LEDs Luminaire to fitting the applications from time to time?” Can users continuously buy the same LEDs luminaires for a long period?”

In NeoPac, we are completely solving the problem by offering NeoPac Universal Platform (NUP) and sustainable standard LEDs light sources to the industry. By adopting our fixed-maintained-lumen and form factor, 60,000 hrs useful life (L70) , system-in-package, point-like-source NeoPac Light Engines, the lighting brands will be able to make their own sustainable NUP-based luminaires easily to fit actual market needs” Jeffrey Chen said.

NeoPac Opto is going to launch its standard point-like-source NeoPac Light Engines at 500 lm, 700 lm, 1000 lm in White and 350 lm, 500 lm, 700 lm in Warm this year and adding 1400 lm in White and 1000 lm in Warm in 2010. Another 2000 lm in White and 1400 lm in Warm will be expected to launch in 2012. There will be totally 10 standard LEDs lamps with sustainable form factor (500 lm/700 lm/1000 lm/1400 lm/2000 lm in White and 350 lm/500 lm/700 lm/1000 lm/1400 lm in warm) for steadily offering to lighting industry in coming years.

If we can’t define the maintained lumen output and useful life (L70) of a lamp, we can’t call the lamp a real light bulb! This is really an intrinsic problem for current LEDs package and LEDs lighting technology platform. Even same LEDs package (lamp) adopted by different luminaire makers will result different lighting effects and different product useful life (L70). Since LEDs chips and phosphor are highly temperature-sensitive and high Tj will directly impact on optical and electrical performance of LEDs, as well as the overall quality and reliability of LEDs Luminaires. Different lighting fixture assembly process and different thermal management scheme result different LEDs junction temperature (Tj) and further result different overall lighting performance.

which implies a shift in focus from conventional vehicle lighting to technology

The LED manufacturers such as NICHIA, TOYODO GOSEI, CREE, GELCORE, LUMILEDS and OSRAM are also the main LED technology developers, while the other manufacturers from Taiwan and China like Everlight, Epistar and OPTO-TECH relies on their patents. And in China, the LED industry is mainly distributed in the regions of YRD, PRD and Jiangxi Province, Fujian Province, and Bohai Bay.According to people familiar with the acquisition plan, Epistar will first buy the 30% ownership in Huga held by Inventec Corp. Before this deal, Epistar has acquired four domestic peers including United Epitaxy Co., Ltd. and South Epitaxy Corp, and has become world`s biggest red LED chips supplier.

According to a Digital Light representative, the message behind the display is that with the advent of ultra-efficient LED products, consumers can now toss out their fluorescent bulbs — along with incandescents, which are already being phased out by federal legislation.

As Taiwan has been a major development and production base for aftermarket (AM) auto-lamp products and also a solid infrastructure and comprehensive supply chains in the electronics, opto-electrical machinery, light-emitting diode (LED), and semiconductor industries, private manufacturers and research organizations have been working to integrate related resources and further strengthen the auto-lamp industry by upgrading technical capability, product quality, and development and innovation ability.More and more international companies, said ARTC president Joe Huang, such as Philips of the Netherlands, Hella of Germany, and Koito of Japan, along with some universities in mainland China, Hong Kong, and elsewhere, have been setting up sophisticated R&D centers, which implies a shift in focus from conventional vehicle lighting to technology- and optical design-oriented vehicular systems.

Mainland China and Taiwan have reached an agreement on the items in which China is to be permitted to invest in Taiwan. New-town development and sewerage construction of the 12 i-Taiwan projects and manufacturing and service businesses are included in the list, as a part of the "cross-Taiwan Strait bridging program," according to Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN).Photovoltaic, in-car information/communications, aircraft, LED lighting, wind power, auto, foodstuff, logistics, precision machinery, and information service are covered in the bridging program, while flat panel display and semiconductor are not included in the list despite strong interest of Chinese investors, as the government still bans Taiwanese from investing in the two lines in China.The forming of the list is in accordance with the Taiwanese government’s principle of positive listing for Chinese investments, which was approved by the Executive Yuan on April 22.

Further opinions on the investment list will be exchanged by both sides in the upcoming cross-Strait talk in China. And the conclusion of the talk will be included in the measures governing Chinese investments in Taiwan, the draft of which is being reviewed by the led high bay light.China’s state enterprises and government agencies are prohibited in the draft prohibits from investing in industries with monopolistic or oligopolistic nature, such as power and petroleum, national defense industry, or hi-tech firms involving sensitive technologies.The Cabinet said the project is expected to spur NT$200 billion in private investment over the next five years, while didn’t disclose a breakdown of spending, except that the money will be spent on developing related technologies, subsidizing manufacturers and building energy-saving schools and other installations.

In addition to their original bin groups

In this rapid industry, the quality and efficiency of LED applications upgrade from time to time.To qualified and unified all products of LED lightings, many industry standards, including ENERGY STAR, has adopted the ANSI C78.377 bin group guideline to help consumers defined it.The nominal CCT quadrangles (E10~E80) in the figure are defined as per led high bay light, which specifies the range of chromaticities for general SSL products and makes sure the chromaticities of the products can be communicated to consumers. This standard is for general indoor LED based lighting applications, not including outdoor applications. In addition to their original bin groups, Edison Opto offers selective ANSI C78.377 bin group to meet this guideline.

Edison Opto is a leading high power LED manufacturer and a solution provider experienced in custom MCPCB modules, optical design and thermal management for the emerging SSL market.
