Under the agreement, the companies will work together to integrate Evolucia’s Aimed Optics technology with superior LED modules and lighting controls from Osram. The combination is expected to result in one of the highest performing and highest quality LED outdoor luminaires in the industry.
“The combination of cutting edge LED technology from Osram with Evolucia’s industry leading light distribution capabilities allows us to deliver high-performance and superior quality LED outdoor luminaires to our customer base,” says Paolo Bortolan , Presidente y Director General - CEO of Osram Mexico.
“The new Osram ProPoint Cobrahead using Evolucia Aimed Optics outdoor luminaire delivers the perfect amount of clean white light to the target area and uses up to 62 percent less energy than traditional fixtures.”
Evolucia, Inc. is a Sarasota, Florida-based company that recently won the lighting industry’s coveted Best LED Street Light award, in its category, which was presented by the US Department of Energy, largely because of the proprietary Aimed Optics technology that was invented by the company’s lighting design team.
Mel Interiano, Chief Executive Officer of Evolucia, adds, “We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Osram Mexico. We have invested more than $25 million in our Aimed Optics product development platform and have spent 5 years working to perfect the LED mounting angles, heat sinking and aesthetics to ensure that not only performance is at the highest level, but also that our products can be manufactured and delivered at extremely competitive prices.”
Court says Intematix can still
sell products in Korea However, litigation is still continuing for the innovator of red nitride phosphor products used in LED lighting
Intematix Corporation has provided an update on its patent infringement litigation in South Korea with Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation.
The company reported that on February 5th, 2013 the Seoul Central District Court decided not to issue any enforceable ruling at this time. As such, there is no restriction on any sales or use of Intematix R or ER products in South Korea.
However, the litigation remains on-going.
“We will continue to vigorously defend ourselves in any litigation,” comments Intematix General Counsel, Tom MacMitchell. “We remain confident that Intematix ultimately will be successful.”
Intematix RR series red nitride products is protected by U.S. Patent No. 8,274,215, while its latest XR series of red nitride products are based on an entirely different structure.

Cree CR24 LED troffers were installed in the main production facility with LR24 LED troffers and CS18 LED linear luminaires featured throughout the complex. The next stage of the installation will bring Cree Edge security and floodlights and LEDway streetlights to the property.
