The infrared Oslon black SFH 4725S is a secret agent in more ways than one. Not only does its light have a wavelength of 940 nanometers, making it virtually invisible to the human eye, but its black package reflects almost no ambient light whatsoever. Together with its high optical output of almost one watt, this infrared LED from Osram Opto Semiconductors is the ideal light source for covert surveillance. Concealed security systems – such as those installed in banks, on machinery and at border controls – need to be designed so they are unobtrusive. This is a m...

2012 is an unusual year for LED industry. During the year, some companies benefited from subsidy program from government, some try to improve technology by themselves to reduce cost, some choose acquisition or set up lighting alliance to strengthen market share, and others have to break down due to financial problem. Therefore, the road lead to LED lighting is full of opportunities as well as challenges. Let’s review the happiness and sorrow which we have undergone. LED Industry News Timeline in 2013 Events: January: 1.    Panasonic Reorgani...

LEDs set to eclipse fluorescents in lighting industry. Although priced at around 20 times more than the incandescents, LED lighting bulbs last much longer and use far less electricity, a savings that homeowners are beginning to recognize.   As retailers like Home Depot and Lowe's sell LED bulbs aggressively and manufacturers improve the technology, prices for them are falling steadily. In addition, because the light in LED bulbs comes from chips, companies have been able to develop software applications that let users control the bulbs, even change the color o...

CFL bulbs contain mercury and when they break in your home a tiny amount of mercury will be released and become a more or less permanent part of your environment. Here’s a little taste of what Health Canada has to say about the dangers of mercury: If mercury is burned, heated, sprinkled or spilled in the home, a poisonous gas can be produced, requiring a clean-up procedure. Your first instinct when you break one of those coiled CFL light bulbs will be to get out the vacuum cleaner. Don’t. Here’s what Health Canada suggests: The amount of mercury found...
