As technology evolves in LED industry, various platforms of LEDs have been developed. However, some of the traditional LEDs are retained for lighting, for example, a flip-chip-based 3535 ceramic-based high-power LEDs for outdoor lighting. It is because the performance and reliability is proven through accumulated business cases under harsh environmental conditions over long periods. Yet, there has always been strong demands for low cost light sources, especially for outdoor lighting. Such demands push lighting manufactures to adopt other platforms such as an epi-up 5050 h...

The MaxLite LED Area Lamp is an easy and economical retrofit for pole and surface mounted fixtures with an E39 socket, such as shoeboxes, cobra heads and wall packs.

Lumileds introduced the LUXEON MX, a multi-die emitter that delivers industry leading efficiency and flux for outdoor fixtures and high bay lighting applications. Lighting fixtures benefit from the emitter’s 1,200 lumen, 150 lm/W efficacy, at 85°C* which enables a system efficiency of 120 lm/W when driven at 700 mA. “This is double the flux of comparable emitters in 120 lm/W systems. We’ve achieved this performance leap by optimizing the LED for improved efficiency at higher drive currents up to 1.5A with the 12V device,” explained Seth Danielson, product manager for the LUXEON MX. 

With an easy-to-install retrofit kit, PennSMART® can convert an ordinary city light fixture into an architecturally pleasing, smart and connected lighting structure that provides surveillance, security and savings.

The robust TALEXXmodule RLE OTD EXCITE 2x4/ 2x8 HP high-performance modules stand for a durable lighting system which, thanks to an efficiency of up to 161 lm/W and 4 kV overvoltage protection, offers impressive performance both in outdoor and industrial applications in an extended temperature range from -40 to +105 °C. The modules have passed the test carried out in an environment of saltwater and fog according to IEC 60068-2-52 and are also resistant to hydrogen sulfide (GR-1217-CORE).

The latest market report published by LEDinside, a research division of TrendForce showed that LED outdoor lighting replacements will be popular worldwide from 2013 to 2015, with Asian countries including China, Japan, and Taiwan acting most aggressively. Promoted by the policy, the LED outdoor lighting market value will be up to 2,478 million USD in 2013, an annual growth over 46%. In other emerging countries such as Thailand, Russia, Latin America and Africa, considerable streetlight replacements will also be installed in 2014. The installation of LED streetlight replacements will gradually slow down in 2015, and the number of worldwide LED streetlight replacements and newly installed LED streetlights will be maintained at approximately 10 million/year. 

Taiwan Aeon Lighting Technology Inc. (ALT) has received Design Lights Consortium (DLC) certification for its outdoor lighting series-Lodestar-through its partner L.E.D.
