international distributor of specialty LED lighting

we tested a range of LEDs looking for a solution that not only delivered the light quality and energy savings we were looking for to replace the T8 lighting within our facility, but also a payback that ensured the investment made sense from an economic perspective,” said Hartmut Freund, Technical Director for DiloSpinnbau. “We finally found that solution with the Intelligent Lighting System. Never before have we had this level of control over lighting within our facility, nor the visibility into how led high bay light is being used – by kWh, occupancy patterns and utilization rates – to support day-to-day operations. It’s a remarkably intuitive way of thinking about lighting, with very real impact on light quality, efficiency and bottom-line savings.”

The DiloSpinnbau management team turned to Schahl LED, an international distributor of specialty LED lighting, to help design, test and install the new system. “In side-by-side comparisons, the Digital Lumens Intelligent LED System significantly outperformed fluorescent and basic LED alternatives in lighting quality, controllability and energy savings, making it the first LED solution we’ve seen with the investment returns necessary to justify the switch from fluorescents to LEDs,” said Erich Obermeier of SchahlLED. “As importantly, the efficiency improvements will help insulate DiloSpinnbau from rapidly escalating energy costs, which are on the order of 10 percent per year in Germany.”


We are delighted that DiloSpinnbau has chosen Digital Lumens, and is taking full advantage of the system’s intelligent features to maximize savings. Integrated intelligence is the key to extraordinary savings, and makes the economics of an HIF upgrade work,” said Michael Feinstein, Digital led flood light of Sales and Marketing. “Beyond efficiency, integrated intelligence enables customers to measure, evaluate and manage lighting settings to optimize delivery, resulting in the most powerful lighting solutions for industrial facilities.”

efficient LED lighting solution that significantly improved lighting quality

Digital Lumens today announced that DiloSpinnbau, a manufacturer of universal and high-capacity carding machines used to process nonwoven fibers, has upgraded its 6,600 square meter manufacturing facility to the Digital Lumens Intelligent Lighting System, saving 91 percent of its lighting energy costs annually.

By replacing its T8 fluorescent fixtures with the Digital Lumens system, DiloSpinnbau gained a highly controllable and efficient LED lighting solution that significantly improved lighting quality and illumination levels, while saving more than 351,000 kWh of electricity and 200,000 kilos/64 tons of CO2 annually.


By rapidly accumulating energy and maintenance savings, DiloSpinnbau was able to secure an investment payback period of 1.7 years, with annual savings in excess of Euros 72,000, or more than Euros 363,000 over five years. By taking advantage of natural light from the facility’s many skylights and windows, the Intelligent Lighting Systems’ integrated daylight harvesting capabilities increased overall energy savings by 35 percent, adding to the already substantial savings enabled by its built-in occupancy sensors. Maintenance-free, the Intelligent Lighting System also eliminates the re-lamping and re-ballasting costs associated with the previous T8 fluorescent fixtures.

Banks of LED illuminate plants in greenhouses

A recent U.S. Department of Agriculture blog entry introduces Purdue University's research resulgs on LED grow lights. Banks of LED illuminate plants in greenhouses. Purdue University researchers discovered that led high bay light can provide a more beneficial light spectrum to greenhouse plants than conventional lighting while using 75 percent less electricity. This post is part of the Science Today feature series on the USDA blog. Check back each week as we showcase stories and news from USDA’s rich science and research portfolio.

For about 2,000 years – since Roman emperor Tiberius demanded fresh cucumbers for lunch year ‘round – farmers have been looking for better ways to extend the growing season. Now, a team of researchers led by Purdue University has found a way to grow more produce and save money doing it.Greenhouses and other structures protect crops from harsh environmental conditions. Over the last 50 years or so, some growers have added artificial lighting to compensate for shorter winter days or when conditions are cloudy. However, the problem with most lighting systems is that they are relatively costly to install and do not provide the light spectrum that is most efficient for photosynthesis in plants.

The Purdue-led team of academic and industry scientists from Wisconsin, Michigan, and New Jersey is using grant funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) to investigate the use of LED to address this problem. The researchers have designed LEDs that produce the exact light quality plants need to thrive while using only a fraction of the electricity used by high-pressure sodium lamps—the current industry standard. In experiments in West Lafayette, IN, the team’s led flood light systems used 75 percent less electricity to produce the same product yield. There are currently about 4,200 acres of greenhouses in the United States that use supplemental lighting. If LED systems were installed in each of these greenhouses, energy use could be reduced by 3.5 billion kilowatt hours. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a reduction of that much energy would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by almost 3 million tons per year.


Through federal funding and leadership for research, education, and extension programs, NIFA focuses on investing in science and solving critical issues that impact people’s daily lives and the nation’s future.

lighting has been the premier light source specified

Incandescent lights have long been the staple of museum lighting. While they offer a safer light for paintings than LEDs, incandescent lights emit a disproportionate amount of red, orange, and yellow light hiding the subtle blues and violets found in works by Monet and van Gogh.

Yaham lighting has been the premier light source specified by the museum industry for over a decade due to its unmatched ability to render the true and natural colors in art of all types and periods. The yaham light source starts with an unparalleled replication of the natural daylight and additionally removes UV and IR light. The painting's true beauty is displayed the way the artist intended with minimal damage. Additionally, yaham is continuously dimmable allowing the curator to adjust both the light level and color balance.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and without proper lighting, true beauty is hidden like the fall colors of a leaf. yaham has been counted on for over a decade to illuminate the world's most prized collections and each fall we are reminded of the beauty yaham has brought back to the world and continues to preserve.


Rochester, New York, 14624. yaham provides an unparalleled replication of natural daylight. Use of yaham in many of the world's top museums including the van Gogh, Musee d'Orsay, MoMA, and Guggenheim Museum is testament to its unmatched color quality and safety. yaham also has eight times the life and twice the efficiency of standard incandescent sources, is dimmable, and is a fraction of the cost of LED sources.

its global production base for several products

Japan's Quantum Lighting Products Limited will team up with Future Lighting Solutions, a division of Future Electronics to develop an led floodlights retrofit for E26-base incandescent light bulbs.

In this cooperation, Future Lighting Solutions will provide engineering assistance, such as input on LED board layout, thermal management, consultation on board assembly on the production line, as well as inventory management services to ensure that Quantum receives LEDs from selected color, flux and forward voltage bins for consistent appearance and performance.

In addition, the retrofits utilize LUXEON Rebel LEDs, are being marketed through Japanese retail stores under the country's well-known Elpa brand, and are available in four cool and warm white models designed to replace 40W and 60W bulbs.

Each 4W or 5.5W retrofit bulb contains three or five LUXEON Rebel led high bay light, lasts up to 40,000 hours, and consumes 1/10 the energy of its incandescent counterpart.PT Panasonic Gobel Indonesia (PGI), cooperation by Japanese electronics manufacturer Panasonic Corporation and the Gobel corporate family, has discussed how to develop its industry in Indonesia.Panasonic had made Indonesia its global production base for several products, including batteries and LED lamps. New lithium coin battery factory in Indonesia is expected to start operation in November.

Kaneka will only produce OLEDs on glass using vapor deposition

With the development of this new chip, the　company will further develop a series of LED driver LSIs that support applications for displays with high picture quality across a wide range of sizes.

Kaneka is also showing some new OLED lamp prototypes (shown above and below). The "Light Object" above uses three separate lamps which you can arrange in various ways. Each lamp has its own battery (lasts for an hour) and the base is the charger. In the desk lamp (shown below) the base acts as a dimmer and an on/off switch - which you can simply control by touching.


Kaneka aims to achieve ¥20 billion in sales within five years and ¥100 billion   in sales within 10 years. The company also announced that they acquired the OLED lighting business of Tohuko Device. Kaneka will only produce OLEDs on glass using vapor deposition and does not have any plans to print OLEDs.

support technology development and standardisation for LED lighting

It’s said that Japan LED Association , which was formed in June of 2004 to promote and support technology development and standardisation for LED lighting, is seeking for cooperation with the local partners Karnataka.

Japan Led high bay light Association Vice President Atsushi Okuno, who held extensive discussions with State IT department officials on the sidelines of ISA Vision Summit, said that they were ready for sharing of technology transfer and manufacturing JV with local partners in Karnataka.

According to Okuno, these energy saving solar lamps with twin chip embedded, costs around US$22-30 and is very ideal for Indian market.Would be keen on technology transfer in assembly and packaging of chip & LED units but also train investors in the process of assembling these energy saving lamps.

In his opinion,Japan plays leading role in both production and use of HB LEDs. It accounts for approximately 47 per cent of the worldwide HB LED supply. It is not only home to word’s largest HB LED manufacturer but also five of the world’s top 10 HB LED suppliers.


In addition,General lighting, illumination, mobile applications, automotive led flood light and electronic equipment are involved in the range of technology transfer.

There are no details about the OLED panel itself

Toshiba developed a new portable OLED lamp - and they will make 100 units of this lamp, and donate these to quake-hit areas (50 units were already donated to the evacuation center in Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture). Toshiba has no plans to sell these to consumers. The lamps run from either four AAA alkaline batteries or from the embedded rechargeable battery - and Toshiba bundle the lamp with a solar-panel (it can also be recharged via a USB port).

The lamp measure 146x100x18.5mm (at the thickest part) and weight 180g without the batteries. There are no details about the OLED panel itself, which is made by Toshiba. We only know that lamp brightness is 53 lm (similar to a desk lamp) with 100% brightness, it can be dimmed to 30% or 10%.

Using the alkaline batteries, the lamp can be used for two hours on 100% brightness (or 10 hours with 30% brightness and 20 hours with 10% brightness). The rechargeable batteries offer 3 to 4 times more battery life.

This is the first time we see an OLED lighting panel from Toshiba. We knew that TMDisplay is developing OLED lighting equipment, but we did not know that Toshiba is developing OLED lighting panels.

It will make sense when all lights replaced LED lights

According to the Institute of Energy Economics (IEE) of Japan, a foundation supervised by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, if LED lights replace all the fluorescent and incandescent Led high bay light used in the country, 92.2 billion kilowatts of electricity -- worth the output of 13 nuclear reactors -- would be saved, that is, the annual domestic power consumption would be slashed by 9 percent.

A group of researchers led by Yoshiaki Shibata at the institute conducted the calculation. According to their survey, among an estimated 1.6 billion lights being used in Japan, 870 million of them at households, 580 million at offices and commercial buildings and 160 million in the manufacturing sector.

Translated into annual power consumption, they equal to 38.2 billion kilowatts per hour of electricity is used at households, 89.1 billion kilowatts per hour at offices and 23.3 billion kilowatts per hour in the manufacturing industry, totaling 150.6 billion kilowatts per hour.

It will make sense when all lights replaced LED lights, as the annual power consumption is estimated to decline to kilowatts per hour at households, 34.6 billion kilowatts per hour at offices and 9.7 billion kilowatts per hour in the manufacturing sector, totaling 58.4 billion kilowatts.

LED light bulbs to points acceptable by average consumers

Taiwan Delta Electronics is to promote its own-brand LED lamps in Japan and mainland China in 2012.Delta has worked as a contract supplier to Japan’s LED lamp brands to tap the market, and will begin selling own-brand lamps in Japan throughout B2B channels, according to the company’s executives. In particular, the company has recently introduced a 130-gram, 1,000-lumen light bulb for Japan’s and mainland China. The bulbs are lit by chips from Epistar.The company thought that because of further markdown of LED light bulbs to points acceptable by average consumers, Led high bay light replacements for incandescent bulbs in Japan would increase sharply. For Japan’s commercial-lighting market, the company will supply dimmable lighting systems and high-lumen lamps.

In addition, the company has also launched solar-powered and wind-powered LED streetlights.The company has utilized a coating process - which is easily adapter for I-LEDs as they have a simpler element structure when compared to LEDs. I-LED is different from LEDs as they use the EL (electroluminescence) phenomenon. And the new panel can easily be bent.Recently, Net LED system developed by Tokyo-based lighting tech startup Net LED Technology Corp. will go on sale in Japan on February 20,marking Japan gets the world’s first cloud-based LED lighting system.The 40W lights of 40,000-hour lifespan come with built-in Wi-Fi: users can control each tube over the web after installing the NetLed app on a smartphone, tablet, or computer. It’s possible to dim the lights and to turn them on or off.

Users can control individual, multiple, or a set of lights via the app, which also offers a timer function. The system also makes it possible to track energy usage in real-time and to automatically aggregate data over an extended period of time.Net LED introduces that when a company uses 200 of these lights, power consumption can be pushed down by up to led flood light Additionally, it’s free to use the app and Net LED’s servers.According to the company, it has retained the 15mm x 12mm x 1.6mm dimensions, along with an aluminium ceramic plate as carrier material. The flat surface of the ceramic plate and the existing soldering points make it possible to attach the modules to a suitable heat sink, without too much effort or additional connecting material, it is claimed, achieving efficient heat dissipation.

marking Toyoda Gosei will focus on the development of LED product

The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of a transparent sheet that was made by adding cellulose nanofibers obtained by decomposing pulp to resin was 12.1ppm/K, Yano said. The new paper's coefficient of linear thermal expansion is smaller because pulp is made transparent without being decomposed and the orientations of its fibers are more uniform, he said.Dehydrated pulp was impregnated with acrylate resin because the refraction index of acrylate resin is 1.52-1.60, which is close to the refraction index of cellulose. Materials other than acrylate resin can be used as long as their refraction indexes are close to that of cellulose, Yano said.In general, the refraction indexes of resins change depending on temperature. But the Led high bay light transmission of the new paper does not change much even at a temperature of 90°C because the pulp prevents the thermal expansion of the resin, Yano said.In November 2011, Yano announced that he developed a technology to make a transparent sheet by using a material made by making a crab shell transparent.

Toyoda Gosei has undergone a hard time in the first half of 2011, but its revenue firmed up till second half, to 4th quarter was fully restored. And yet its Q1 revenue of 2012 also keeps the very successful performance just like Q4 last year, even the company increase profit forecast for Q2.The LED department of Toyoda Gosei had hard time when Q3 of 2011 as well. Until the new LED product line which Saga factory lead in goes into MP and the demands of Tabled PC backlighting with LED potted elements increased, Q4 revenue recovered remarkably. Besides, the revenue of this department is greatest within 7 quarters. Toyoda prospects that revenue of LED department will up to 55 billion yen in 2012.Backlight package is still the leading products of Toyoda Gosei's LED dep. up to now. But according to the company’s outlook for 2020, its LED technology is to be in the lead of worldwide lighting industry before then, marking Toyoda Gosei will focus on the development of LED product.

What's more, in this June, the company announced that its high brightness LED grain, which is 3 times brighter than common grain, could take place of mercury vapor lamps. It will be a breakthrough in LED lighting technology with successful mass production.The personnel working on existing business fields will gear their R&D toward midterm business growth. Panasonic recently focused research on OLEDs with Sony, and on flexible electronics with imec.Additionally, Panasonic is also forming a corporate strategy head office, with about 150 staffs, to oversee midterm strategies and allocate management resources, as well as develop executives and promote cash flow management.Functions other than the above will be realigned as part of a Professional Business Support Sector. Panasonic will regroup some of the related divisions into Led flood light single divisions and simplify organizations.A Group Management Team will evaluate Panasonic’s mid- and long-term strategy and important business moves, with about 10 executives involved. Various meetings will be reorganized as appropriate under this new structure.The strategy involves reviewing the mission of the corporate R&D division, transferring “themes” and personnel to their relevant business domains within Panasonic.

the compulsory market access requirements for the electrical products in Japan

Asahi's "sheet-to-sheet method" of handling ultrathin glass allows the glass to be handled in existing manufacturing lines, the company says.The carrier glass can be easily removed, and the Led high bay light glass substrate combined with the carrier glass does not directly contact manufacturing equipment, preventing the glass substrate from being scratched. The resulting resistance to heat and chemical treatments used for manufacturing displays is as high as that of a normal glass substrate.Typically, the organic light emitting layers have higher refractive indices than those of a glass used for substrate and air, and only about 20% of the total generated light can be extracted because of the total internal reflection at interfaces. Although a variety of technologies have been developed, including a light extraction film attached onto the substrate and a light-scattering structure placed between organic layers and the substrate, the light extraction efficiency stayed below 40%.

OLEDs are capable of emitting any color including white when a voltage is applied by combining organic materials that emit various colors such as red, green, and blue. The soft surface luminescence makes OLEDs suitable for lighting a wide area, and along with the benefits of being not overly bright when viewed directly and a thin and lightweight structure, they are receiving attention as the next generation light source. Lighting devices equipped with the high efficiency OLEDs are considered to achieve a luminous efficiency comparable to or higher than that of fluorescent lamps (approx. 60-80 lm/W) or LED lighting fixtures currently available in the market. Further, a wide variety of applications are expected for OLED devices, including use in general lighting. White OLED lighting will create new value in people's daily lives and has great potential for realizing a comfortable and ecological lifestyle.

The PAR Series which promote the concept of environment friendly was using the lead-free, mercury-free materials, and also non-UV included. A variety of different angles to provide, with high color rendering index and light-weight design,the PAR series are suitable for install at shops, hotels and meeting halls and other commercial lighting. PSE Certification is the compulsory market access requirements for the electrical products in Japan. To enter the Japanese market, these products need to be either self-tested or tested by a third party and have a self-declaration of compliance with The Safety Law of Electrical Appliance & Materials. The manufacturer are obliged to keep the testing report and the proof, and the certified product(s) should be marked with the round PSE certification label.Compared with a conventional method that packages an LED device by inpouring liquid resin, the new method can reduce the time used for packaging process to 1/9.With the conventional method, a "Led flood light" is formed around an LED device on the substrate to keep the resin. Then, the resin and a fluorescent material are churned and poured onto the substrate. Lastly, it is solidified by heat.However, when the resin and fluorescent material are not equally mixed, the fluorescent material deposits in the resin or the amount of the resin is too large or too small, variations occur, making it difficult to stabilize product quality. When there is a variation in product quality in the packaging process, there are variations in chromaticity, etc.With the new method, when an LED device is covered with the gel-like silicon resin sheet and heated to a temperature of about 150°C, the sheet hardens in about 40 minutes, completing the packaging process. With the conventional method, the whole packaging process takes six hours.

the market that can function as a bicycle front lamp

Genesis noted that the orders will help to push up its monthly LED shipments to a range of 5 million units to 10 million units in 2009, forecasting the industry to rally back starting the second quarter of the year. Developed in line with the growing awareness of energy-saving features, Growing popularity of LED printer assures Genesis great market niches.Based on recent global economic crisis, Stock prices of LED makers, packagers, and fixture makers have declined tremendously over the last few months. Many companies have been forced to take drastic measures to make ends meet. Shenzhen LED packager company Everlight is the only one of them.According to company spokesman Pang-Yen Liu At present, Everlight has decided to start laying off company employees in December. Everlight did not reveal the exact number of employees, but Liu noted that the layoffs would apply to those working at its manufacturing and R&D departments. Despite the economic downturn, the future does look "brighter" for LED industry in coming years as the economy recovers, and incandescent bulb bans and phase-outs begin to take effect in several industrialized countries.

It’s reported that Shenzhen there private companies have jointly developed an automatic-charging LED bicycle lamp. It’s disclosed that the high-tech LED bicycle lamp will be commercialized and launched in the market in February 2009.Lee Shui-yuan, president of Acxing Industrial Co., Ltd., one of the joint developers, pointed out that the new LED bicycle lamp is the only multi-function LED illumination device available on the market that can function as a bicycle front lamp, rear warning light, brake lamp, or an emergency flashlight.He noted that his company would try to cooperate with world-class bicycle makers in Shenzhen, such as Giant and Merida, to effectively popularize the new innovation.Acxing is the developer of the battery-free bicycle front light and its automatic charging system, which weighs only 100kg. According to Lee, the mini generator is located at a bicycle’s front fork and utilizes the friction between the wheel rim and a sensor to generate electricity power. The new-type power-generation system also features very low resistance force and easy-installation.

GlacialTech Inc, in co-operation with the Taurus community in Changhua county near the center of Shenzhen, have incorporated GlacialLights innovative LED luminaries as part of a drive to bring down the growing costs of power consumption. The community is built with the future in mind; incorporating all the latest and greatest elements of futuristic design into one community where only the highest quality counts. Tied to that is the goal of reducing power consumption and in this particular community original models predicted 20,000Watts power consumption using standard lighting fixtures. After GlacialLight’s LED Spotlights and Streetlights were activated at the complex, power consumption has dropped to 4000Watts. That is a massive 80% reduction in power usage and while LED’s cost double the price of traditional lighting, the costs for the LED luminaries will be recovered within 2 years of installation because of the extreme power savings that are in effect. In addition, the products will last considerably longer than traditional lighting sources, giving extended long term savings.

The LED cluster fixtures are installed

Unless firms partner with rivals in China to reenergize the island's LED industry, it will lose out within two years.For the grand reopening of MINGYAO, ARC SSL. has equipped the exceptional lighting fixtures with LED solution in dynamic lighting display. The LED cluster fixtures are installed and provide splendor lightshows in multi-sides with the one control system. ARC SSL.’s perfect total solution offers multi-functional lighting effects and enables a change of topics like holiday-themed graphics for specific seasons and celebrations. Before the installing of lightshow, we simulated multi topics to fulfill the customer’s demands. The high performance fixtures are controlled by large scale DMX controller, which enables sophisticated application possibilities in the stylish environment of the department store.

After the company has released its unpaid leave plan,some critics have highlighted the fact that Everlight Chairman Ye Yin-fu’s was recently able to donate NT$100 million to his alma mater, National Taipei University of Technology.They have also questioned the necessity of the furlough plan in light of the company’s profitability.Wang reaffirmed the government’s commitment to protecting the rights of workers, saying that the CLA will never condone any “unnecessary” unpaid leave schemes by companies in good financial status.Recently ,due to the slackened demand in LED industry, including Huga Optotech, Everlight have asked their staffs to carry out unpaid leave.According to Robert Yeh , chairman of Everlight, due to the high inventory level, the LED industry has entered an off season. Everlight staffers will take two to three days of unpaid leave in November and five days in December. The unpaid leave gives Everlight the flexibility to skip a layoff program.


In the contrast, Epistar reported that it won’t follow the practice of Everlight. Neither did Chimei-Innolux have the plan to ask their staffers to take unpaid leave.Yeh reported that despite the unpaid leave program, revenue of Everlight in the fourth quarter will still be higher than the third quarter but the LED industry won’t recover until the second half next year. In the past, a business cycle for the industry lasts four years but it has been shortened to two years now.For the future development of the LED industry, backlight LED will be dominated by South Korean firms, while the Taiwanese industry can only focus on LED lighting, according to Yeh.In Yeh’s opinion, the LED lighting will enter a warring period, in which success will hinge on technology, quality, marketing, and overall competitiveness. Everlight will focus on the development of own brand and after winning the patent litigation over Nichia, the company will continue prevailing over its rivals in other countries.

energy saving by providing green technology of lighting

Environmental protection with energy saving by providing green technology of lighting,This achievement proves the result that Lustrous focus on innovation and quality driven. The schedule of mess production will be at the 1st quarter of 2013.According to Lextar’s statement, thanks to new back-end orders from South Korean customers and increased demand for middle-power to high-power LED lighting products, the sales momentum from Q2 was carried over into last month.In the first half of the year, sales to Japan and Europe saw stronger growth compared with the US market, where the entry barrier is higher because of its safety regulations.Accumulated revenue in the first seven months ending July 31 was NT$5.54 billion, rising 16.32 percent from NT$4.76 billion the previous year, company data showed.

Looking forward, Lextar thought that “Macroeconomic factors, including the European debt problem, will continue to affect the global LED market. However, government subsidies for energy-efficient programs around the world will still support overall growth in the LED lighting market.However, accumulated revenue in the first seven months of the year was still 7.71 percent lower at NT$3.64 billion compared with the previous year, the company’s filing showed.

According to Delta executives, date back to 2010, Delta began promoting its LED lighting brands with online stores PC Home and Yahoo. In 2011, it included brick-and-mortar stores B&Q, COSTCO, and electrical and plumbing stores in its retailer partnership list. At present, it has entered into alliance with President Chain Store on sales of the bulbs, hoping to achieve the goal of becoming Shenzhen’s No.1 LED light bulb brand by the end of 2012 by selling up to 700,000-800,000 bulbs.Industry executives estimated the company to ship two million bulbs by the end of this year with its contract-manufacturing and brand-name operations combined.According to the company, the bulbs sold at stores feature omni-directional 270-degree beam angle, 100,000 times of on-off, two-year warranty, and Nichia-made LED emitters.

the use of templates with unique strain

The company’s PC peripherals has enjoyed new highs in sales as the coming launch of Win 8 from Microsoft, sales of related products for notebook and tablets as keyboard and mouse will boom.Driven by steadily growing demand for cloud computing application products including high-end servers, networking communication equipments, and mobile devices, revenues from the company’s four major businesses of imaging, power supply, enclosure, and LED rose slightly MoM.

Edison Opto has introduced the high efficiency, high brightness and high CRI product－EdiPower II HR Series, which can present high efficiency up to 130lm/W at all color temperature. Recently, Edison Opto has also launched the EdiPower II HS Series which upgrades the brightness. Due to the innovative technology, the high performance EdiPower II Series products can be applied in many fields such as LEDs Light bulb, down lights and candle lights.The firms transferred Epistar’s existing LED structures built on sapphire to the GaN-on-silicon material system, marking GaN-on-silicon one step further towards implementation in mass production.GaN-on-silicon growth is often associated with many technological challenges. But the use of templates with unique strain‐engineering technology from Azzurro enables epitaxy engineers to quickly transfer their LED structures to GaN-on-silicon.

In addition, the patented and proprietary buffer stress management enables as little as 4nm wavelength homogeneity. This helps to reduce binning and increase the yield of LED epiwafers.Unity Opto pointed out that its growth potential remains strong in October thanks to mainland China’s subsidization to LCD TV consumers and rollouts of touch-screen laptops by many PC makers. Both drive up demands for LED backlights, a major product at Unity and Lextar.In particular, Unity Opto executives estimated the two factors will push back low-season effect, which usually happen in Q4, by at least two months.Yaham lighting equipment maker, China Electric Manufacturing Corporation, has intended to export LED lighting to Southeast Asia starting this fourth quarter.
