Plessey announced that it has developed a patented technology for Chip Scale Optics (CSO) based on its award winning GaN-on-Silicon MaGIC ™ LEDs.  Chip Scale Optics permits design of light emission angles down to ten degrees direct from the LED.  Having the primary optics on-chip eliminates the cost of primary optics typically found in packaged LEDs and chip-on-board modules.  Furthermore, it significantly lowers the cost and provides for far greater design freedom for secondary optics within a luminaire.  The first off applications include retail spot lighting, hospitality lighting, high and low bays, street lighting and stadium lighting.  It is estimated that Plessey’s chip scale optics will halve the cost of these lighting applications.

Innovational courage is the motto followed by opsira in all developments. The company is presenting a great highlight: Together with its partners KUKA and LED Linear the LED optics design experts demonstrate their goniophotometer robogonio in action with real measurements. Differentiating other solutions the robogonio offers flexible measurement solutions and full scope.

Optigami, LLC announces the availability of more efficient LED optics. The MR16 and PAR30 Miro® silver based optics provide upto a 30% efficiency improvement over total internal reflection plastic optics or simple Aluminum reflectors. Optigami’s standard components are intended for illumination applications requiring less than 60 degree full width beam spread where an additional homogenizer is also in use. Optigami is a U.S. startup specializing in the application of laminar 98% reflective material to 3D optical surfaces.

Future Lighting Solutions and Khatod Optoelectronic has announced yesterday a distribution agreement that would make a broad line of Khatod’s secondary optics for power LEDs available in all major markets all over the world, with the portfolio of products including 190 single, double, triple and quad optics as well as color-mixing optical systems with multiple beam angles and configurations, featuring the industry’s largest selection of optics for LUXEON Rebel LEDs.
