Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE), a market leader in LED solid-state lighting components, announces the results of an independent survey on the adoption, deployment and benefits of LED lighting. The survey, taken at the recent 2007 Hong Kong International Lighting Fair, validates strong global growth for LED lighting applications, confirms awareness of the energy-efficiency benefits of LEDs and indicates that the adoption trend should continue through the end of the decade. Key survey findings include:

Everlight Electronics Co. Ltd. (TSE:2393) today introduces 1- and 3-Watt high-power LEDs that deliver high luminosity, long operating life and system efficiency in a broad range of solid-state lighting designs. Part of Everlight’s XcelLED(TM) series, the EHP-AX08/P01 (1-Watt) and EHP-AX08/P03 (3-Watt) families are among the highest-flux emitters on the market.

Dialight Corp.'s D264 Series LED-based flashing red beacons are being optimized for wind farm installations by two industry-leading OEM distributors.Dialight provides standard D264 beacons, which are modified to incorporate an integral photocell, controller and GPS-based synchronized flasher module in a compact design that eliminates the need for additional control cabinets and wiring, according to the company.

Carmanah Technologies Corporation has received an order through Dubai-based GESOLAR - the company's authorized aviation distributor in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) - to supply solar-powered portable airfield lights for privately-owned airfield applications within the region. The order, valued at more than $600,000, provides the tools to enhance visibility and safety at remote airfields using energy-efficient LED (light emitting diode) beacons powered by clean, cost-effective solar energy.

Light Emitting Diodes (LED) are changing the face of autos, inside and out, designers and engineers say. Once a beacon for the plush interiors of Lexus, Mercedes and Cadillac, LEDs have made their way into daily drivers such as the Ford Focus and Chevy Malibu, and certainly will make their way into more. Interior and exterior designers love the little light bulbs and are finding new ways to use them.

Atlas Electrical Technologies Services designed and installed an anti collision system that supervises the work area limits, gathers information on the proximity of these limits and prevents dangerous movements. This involves radio telecommunication features which aid in establishing limiting features to prevent jib to jib, jib to load and jib to tower deck collision. The system also has zone points along loading bays, traffic lanes and edges of buildings where the cranes should not tread.

'Tactical'flashlights - torches for shining into people's eyes - are already popular in the US amongst certain special interest groups and now a Californian firm has taken the concept one stage further. With $1m from the Department of Homeland Security, Intelligent Optical Systems of Los Angeles has created the LED Incapacitator.

Adding a new category to its TV business, Recently,Sony of Canada Ltd. announced that it will launch the XEL-1, an 11-inch Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) television. Aiming to expand its overall TV business, Sony will add the new XEL-1 model to the lineup of televisions that is currently centered on the "BRAVIA" line of LCDs. The new OLED TV model features an "Organic Panel", which was independently developed by Sony and has exceptional features. The XEL-1 has a unique structure that achieves brilliant deep blacks and extremely high

  You can forget the Wii, PS3 or iPhone right now. The most exciting product unboxing of the 21st century is here, and it dumps on all of 'em from a great height. Oh yes, Tech Digest has the exclusive on the Tchibo Tweezers with LED. That's right: laser-guided tweezers (almost).

Featuring T3¼ flange base that fits most 2- and 3-cell flashlights, 3 W LED PR-Style Bulb is available in sunlight-visible Cool White. Model F321-3W-0CW-001 supports voltages from 0.85-4.5 Vdc, while Model F321-3W-0CW-002 supports voltages from 3.6-9 Vdc. Solid-state, weather-resistant lamp is impervious to electrical and mechanical shock, vibration, frequent switching, and environmental extremes. Low power draw enables batteries to last up to 92 continuous hours.

A survey taken at the recent 2007 Hong Kong International Lighting Fair validated the strong global growth for LED lighting applications, according to Cree Inc. The survey established awareness of the energy-efficiency benefits of LEDs and indicated that the adoption trend should continue through the end of the decade.

The use of light-emitting diodes for solid-state lighting, rather than as indicators, is poised to make inroads in applications in the automotive, architectural and general illumination markets, according to market-analysis firm Yole Développement (Lyon, France).

14-gauge, 25' black cable with 3 outlets spaced evenly apart. CBI MOX Series cords are engineered for easy storage and the elimination of twisted cords.

A new study has shown that a coating of carefully tuned nanocrystals helps make LED light warmer and less clinical. Hilmi Volkan Demir of Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey, says that this development may pave the way for energy-efficient LED lights headway in the commercial market. He has revealed that nanocrystals show promise to create LEDs that give off a warm white light, with efficiency far beyond compact fluorescents.

The PL-Pro II Power Conditioner serves up Furman's Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) and Linear Filter Technology (LiFT).

Rabyte and OSRAM Opto Semiconductors (Malaysia) Sdn.  Bhd. announced a partnership agreement for India effective 1st, Jan 2008.  This agreement involves the promotion of the complete product range of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors.As the world's second largest manufacturer of optoelectronic semiconductors for the illumination, sensing and visualization sectors, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors combines extensive know-how in semiconductors, converter materials and packages under one roof.

Austin Energy is joining a national effort to develop new, energy efficient light bulbs made from LEDs. Those light-emitting diodes are commonly used in billboards and traffic signals, and new developments in the field mean they could soon be used in everyday office and home environments.
