LEDs ♦ news digest
Multiple drivers can be connected to a controller to improve performance.
The modularity of the controllers means that different versions can be produced - a standard version without a sensor, one with a sensor, and various customised versions of different shapes and sizes.
The sensor enables the required brightness and colour location to be controlled in accordance with a preset customer-specific value. This ensures, for example, that all the luminaires in a room have the same light colour. It is also possible to adjust the LEDs throughout their lifetime so that different rates of aging among
LEDs of different colours do not have an adverse effect on the overall effect of the light.
Dieter Bauernfeind, Managing Director of Elec- Con technology is extremely pleased with the new product and says, “The modularity of the system make it easy for us to meet specific customer requirements and supply relatively small production runs.”
What all the versions of the controller have in common is that they make it easier to use the Brilliant Mix concept and speed up the implementation of lighting solutions. Thanks to the Universal Controller in combination with the drivers, the light engine and the sensor module it is no longer necessary to have special control know-how.
Brilliant Mix applications can therefore be put into practice quickly, easily and therefore economically with efficient use of resources.
“True to the purpose of our network, namely to offer our customers simple solutions, we have developed the Universal Controller in cooperation with our partners,” adds Sebastian Lyschick, responsible for LED Light for you (LLFY) at Osram Opto Semiconductors.
Also involved in the development, in addition to the LED manufacturer, were Infineon Technologies, Elec-Con technology and MAZeT.
LED lighting market to grow 32 percent
This is according to market research firm Five Star Equities report which focuses on SemiLEDs and Veeco Instruments
A strong driver for growth within the LED Industry in 2013 is expected to be the demand for LED lighting.
Tech newspaper Digitimes has reported that Everlight Chairman Robert Yeh anticipates the LED lighting penetration rate to reach 25 percent in 2013.
Five Star Equities says that by 2020, the global LED lighting market is projected to grow by 32 percent, according to the Taiwan LED Lighting Industry Alliance. Since 2011, LED lighting sales has experienced a growth rate of 17 percent on average, and in 2013 output is likely to reach $15 billion, the Digitimes reported.
“The trend toward LED lighting for energy efficiency will move more quickly this year than anyone expects, driven by cost declines, regulatory incentives and rapidly increasing consumer awareness,” says Jeff Cianci, Green Science Partners’ Chief Investment Officer.
Veeco impresses KaiStar with GaN MOCVD tool
