TILS2012:Our Motion-sensing and Energy-saving Lighting

In accordance to global warming, in order to save electricity, lighting sensors have become widely used in areas where there is little passing traffic. Passive infrared (PIR) lighting sensors adopt the human body moving detection principle to control several lights on the same circuit. Also, we can use many PIR lighting sensors to control several lights on many circuits. Thus, detection area, lighting area and illumination can be planned flexibly. However, as for smaller spaces and little demand for lighting, the PIR lighting sensor combined with an illuminant is a convenient d...

TILS2012:The NewBreakthrough of LED Spotlight – TESS MR16 Aiming at Boutique Display Lighting Markets

As the luminous efficiency of LED chip was not high at early stage, it has not been able to achieve indoor lighting requirement therefore could only be applied at lower lumen lighting goods. LED spotlight has gradually replaced the traditional halogen lamp because there is no ultraviolet or infrared ray emitted from LED lighting, and it does not deteriorate on displayed goods. However, as the LED base generates high-temperature heat so most manufacturers can only use aluminum forming shell as heat-dissipation solution. As the result, the current LED spotlights have the alum...
