Intel's decision to locate a 300mm fab in Dalian, China, has spurred interest in the area for other industries, including LED makers from Taiwan, with Epistar and Everlight Electronics considering building a joint facility there, according to the Taiwan Economic News.If it happens, the combination would form "a relatively dominant conglomerate" with Hon Hai Precision Industry, which already makes LEDs in China, and could "trigger a shakeup in local LED makers' share of China's domestic market" for end applications in autos and streetlights, the publication reports.


Growth of an automotive sector in northeastern China has spurred big demand for LED auto lamps and LED lights here. In concert with national policies to sponsor high-tech industry development, the local Dalian government has approved a 15% income tax rate and 5%-17% tax return rate for companies in the Jinzhou IT Park, about 30 miles from Dalian's economic zone.This energy savings is critical because DRLs built with conventional bulbs consume more power than any other exterior lighting application due to their always-on daylight use, potentially running afoul of today s fuel economy standards.

the GSA can then recommend technologies to its portfolio

This performance improvement is provided by adding a simple TRR reflector with an aperture to standard multi-color LED packages. The diameter of the aperture, which determines the amount of recycling, and the total size of the reflector can be scaled to meet the user's needs. "Clearly, with such improvements in performance with minimum change in configuration will find applications in many areas in the entertainment industry and pico-projectors.According to the GSA, energy efficiency is becoming a way of life, not only to cut costs at more than 9,600 assets that it owns or rents, but also to meet the 2007 federal mandate that government buildings slash energy consumption 30 percent by 2015.

To meet those goals, and to push the whole market forward, it launched the Green Proving Ground program to evaluate sustainable building technologies. Based on performance, the GSA can then recommend technologies to its portfolio.The GSA has already published findings on occupant-responsive fluorescent lighting, but now it has turned its attention to LEDs and controls.As part of the Recovery Act, the GSA had more than 200 projects of lighting retrofits, but few were LEDs. “The Green Proving Ground GPG program is looking at the next generation of products that are targeting general office lighting, which is the great frontier,” said Kevin Powell, program manager for Green Proving Ground. The frontier has certainly moved to LEDs, which have come down significantly in price.

Daintree’s ControlScope solution will be used to control existing fluorescent lights in one building and to control Cree’s lights in another building. Powell notes that one of the advantages of LEDs is their inherent controllability, but the agency still doesn’t know if the cost-benefit is right.The point is to see whether or not we can cost-effectively install that at market prices today,” said Powell. But cost isn’t the only factor; occupant satisfaction and maintainability also play a part in evaluating technology.In the case of occupant responsive lighting, the technology saved 27 percent over baseline conditions for spaces illuminated 12 hours a day, five days a week -- and occupants embraced the upgrades. For LEDs, the savings will have to significantly beat what’s achievable with controllable fluorescents to make inroads with GSA.

the results can start to reshape an industry

This new LED system can be easily installed in most existing ceiling troffers utilizing a unique Philips Centium external driver that wires the same way as a traditional T8 electronic ballast, offering a low-cost option for upgrading to LED lighting. Further, the new LED T8 lamp and driver are highly efficient, delivering over 104 lumens per watt at the system level, while reducing the wattage by 17% compared to fluorescent led high bay light systems and 35% compared to fluorescent 34W T12 systems.Moreover, DLC compliance ensures that a product meets the performance levels outlined by the manufacturer, giving customers added confidence that they are buying a quality solution. It also enables the product to qualify for energy rebate programs that can help lower upgrade costs and help customers to achieve a faster payback and ROI.

Lumination LED Linear Recessed Luminaires bring crisp, pleasing LED illumination to the Logix Integrated Ceiling System.By concentrating lightingin narrow bands running the length of the ceiling, Logix provides the freedom to create modern and sophisticated designswithout the constraints of traditional acoustical ceilings.This collaboration was about giving the architecturalcommunity what it wanted—an uninterrupted ceilingand lighting system in one package that makes designer projects much easier,” says Jaime Irick, general manager forGE Lighting North America Professional Solutions. “When two innovation leaders like USG and GE come together as our teams have done, the results can start to reshape an industry.”

YAHAM’s Lumination LED Linear Recessed Luminairesare available in four- and five-foot fixtures measuring four or six inches wide to fit Logix layouts. They consume less electricity than traditional light sources and last years longer before needing replacement.The continuous look of led flood light panels and Lumination LED lighting is ideal for environments where a clean, uncluttered ceiling is as much a fashionable as functional solution,” says Chris Griffin, USG executive vice president, operations. “It has long been a problem to piece together a custom look without the custom price, but now specifying, estimating, ordering and constructing the ceiling your customer always wanted is simple.

it is easy to reason why there is fall in sale this year

Diwali has put denizens of Sangam city on a shopping spree for a variety of 'jhaalar' (colourful light series) and earthen lamps to fill their homes with a faint but beautiful golden light.From LED to rice bulb, rope light and artificial lamps, there is everything to suit the pocket of the led high bay light reveler. But rising prices have hit even the wholesale market this year.The common man can light a bulb only if PM provides relief," said Shailesh Thakur, a businessmen of Shahganj market of the city. Everything, from the rates of these decorative lights to the rate of power, has increased so it is easy to reason why there is fall in sale this year. Even in the wholesale market there is hike in prices of 10% compared to last year, he added.

China-made jhaalar has a copper wire and bulbs are good quality but last year they came with iron wire and comparatively poor quality. This year the quality has degraded further to keep the cost constant, said Gopal, a shopkeeper of the city. In contrast, products manufactured in Mumbai and Delhi are far better and not that costly either, he added.Due to increased demand for these lights, local shopkeepers are doing brisk business and the jhaalar which cost Rs 30 a packet last year, is now selling at Rs 45. Similarly, each bundle of pipe-light is at Rs 800 compared to Rs 1,000 last year but the length was 40 meters. "I would suggest people to make best of their efforts and bargain the prizes", said Nafees, a shopkeeper of Shahganj market.

People are very much enthusiastic about these lights as they say that these lights are economical and don't consume much electricity besides they look beautiful in the house, said Aatish Kersherwani, a resident of Preetam Nagar. Apart from rope light and other led flood light  a new LED strips, operated by just 12 watt DC supply, is the new hit this year, added Aatish. Likewise, plastic lamps too are a big hit this year as it gives a clear impression of lighting of traditional earthen lamp, he added. Besides this, Akash Deep, lamps giving impression of brass lamps, Jhumar, LED lamps with numerous colour including blue, green pink, red and multi colour etc are all selling like hot cake, he added.
