as the key enabling materials that will drive a wide range of next generation technologies from high performance data transmission and management, to highly energy efficient products, including solar energy, SSL and power semiconductors.”


IQE expects to report its interim results around mid-September 2013.

The new 3030 LED being introduced extends the Seoul mid-power offering up to the high-power one watt range by enhancing both the LED chip and package in terms of heat resistance. Even though traditional 3030 packaged LEDs were mid-power, the new versions can be used in high power applications with the additional benefit of reducing costs by up to 50 percent.


Seoul Semi LED 180 lm/W


reaches new heights The firm has also slashed costs by 50 percent with its new mid- power LEDs


Seoul Semiconductor’s 5630 mid-power packaged LED efficacy is now 180 lm/W which it says is world class performance for solid state lighting. The 3030 mid-power LED reaches cost points 50 percent lower than existing high-power packaged LEDs.


Seoul Semiconductor, a global LED manufacturer, has revealed two new mid-power packaged LED lighting products, the 5630C and the 3030. These packaged LEDs have been improved dramatically in terms of luminance efficacy (lm/w) and cost efficiency (lm/$).


Marten Willemsen, Vice President of Marketing for Seoul Semiconductor, says, “The 3030 and 5630 packages are LED products which focus on both price competitiveness (lm/$) and luminance efficiency (lm/W). We have already sold billions of pieces in China, USA, and Europe for various LED lighting products.”


He adds, “If you use these two LEDs properly, you can chase two rabbits at the same time in terms of ‘lm/W’ and ‘lm/$’ which most lighting designers consider the most important factors.”


The products are in mass production and are globally available now through Seoul Semiconductor’s distributors.


1000Bulbs.com forms MR16 distribution partnership with


Soraa Soraa’s MR16 bulbs made using gallium nitride on gallium nitride (GaN-on-GaN) technology will be solely distributed by 1000Bulbs.com


The ideal lamp is one that puts out almost no heat, cuts energy bills, and emits a perfect beam of bright, even light with high colour rendering.


5630 packaged LED


Soraa, a California-based lighting company on the cutting edge of LED technology, has created a lamp that does just that. 1000Bulbs.com has announced that it is now the premiere online distributor of Soraa’s innovative, new MR16 lamps.


3030 packaged LED


The 5630 package is one of the world’s best performance in light output with 180 lm/W efficacy and is an extension of the mid-power LED lighting family that Seoul Semiconductor released as one of the first mid-power LEDs in the world for solid state lighting products.


When it was released, the performance was better than existing high-power packaged LEDs. In the past 2 years, it became the best selling item among Seoul’s product portfolio. The new 5630C is targeting the high growth segment of LED lighting including bulbs, tubes and panel lights in the US, Japan, and
