LEDs ♦ news digest offer different radiation angles and colours.
Lars Fahrbach, Global Distribution Manager of Würth Elektronik, says, “We are very happy to cooperate with our partners at Farnell element14 with the launch of our exciting new range of LEDs.”
Fahrbach continues, “After entering the semiconductor sector with TVS diodes four years ago, this sector has now been expanded with the manufacture of LEDs. The focus is on SMD components and additional to the classic single- colour components, various bi-colour and full colour (RGB) components are available. Our new range also includes different reverse-mount LEDs, side LEDs (90°) as well as selected THT types.”
Mike Buffham, Global Head of Product and Pricing, Farnell element14, adds “We are pleased to partner with Würth Elektronik to launch its new range of LEDs, which offers a well balanced range with exceptional value for our customers.”
Cree LED street luminaire suited to challenging
environments The firm’s XSP IP66 delivers improved performance and payback on new and retrofit installations
Cree has introduced XSP IP66 LED Street Luminaires that are optimised for European and other global environmental requirements.
“XSP IP66 is the ideal choice for metropolitan and other municipal areas looking to save money and reduce maintenance costs,” says Massimo Targetti, managing director, Cree Europe S.r.l. “Designed to meet the demanding needs of global markets, the XSP IP66 represents the perfect combination of high-performance design and advanced LED technology. The optimised LED Street Luminaire design makes it easy for municipalities to upgrade from incumbent technologies for both retrofit and new construction applications.”
The XSP IP66 has a ten year warranty and is available in both single and double module configurations. The luminaire also features state-of-the-art thermal management and electronics critical to high reliability operation in the most challenging applications.
The result is a high performance luminaire that delivers superior value without compromising longevity or light quality at the cost of performance. The new luminaire delivers a range of lumen packages and distributions optimised for the most common street light applications.
SemiLEDs suffers 62 percent loss in revenues
The III-nitride innovator says it has beared the brunt of a series of one-time events
SemiLEDs Corporation, a developer and manufacturer of LED chips and LED components, has announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, ended May 31st, 2013.
Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $3.5 million, a 62 percent decrease compared to $9.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
XSP street light
The advanced LED street luminaire provides metropolitan and other municipal areas a durable luminaire that protects critical electrical components from dust, water jets and other potentially damaging environmental factors.
Cree says its XSP Street Luminaire is the first real alternative to high-pressure sodium street lights with better payback, better performance and better price. Compared to its predecessor, the XSP IP66 uses nearly 50 percent less energy and is designed to last more than three times longer.
Beyond saving energy and reducing maintenance due to longer lifetime, Cree achieves better control over luminaire output with its NanoOptic Precision Delivery Grid technology compared to a traditional street light. The new XSP IP66 features similar aesthetics as a traditional HPS street light while achieving excellent target illumination.
GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $11.0 million, or a net loss of $0.40 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $10.0 million, or a net loss of $0.36 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
“Unfortunately the combination of a series of one-time events greatly impacted our business performance this quarter,” said Trung Doan, Chairman, President and CEO. “Despite this brief set-back, we remain confident we have the right strategy in place, focusing on profitable market segments where the performance and quality of our products continues to differentiate us,” concluded Doan.
GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was negative 129 percent, compared with gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 of negative 11 percent. Operating margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was negative 278 percent compared with negative 87 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
Margins for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were negatively impacted by a reduction in revenues, excess capacity charges
