the crucial developments in the LED lighting industry

The firm’s technology uses gallium nitride (GaN) on 6-inch silicon substrates. It uses a much thinner GaN layer at only 2.5µm compared to 6 to 8µm in other GaN on Si technologies. This means less deposition time, so that the firm can do multiple production cycles in 24 hours to achieve higher throughputs and lower costs.LEDs are the next key phase of the drive to reduce carbon usage but widespread adoption has been held back by the high product costs and the low level of the light output. Our led flood light technology solves both these problems opening the way for LED lighting to become widespread and help cut energy bills. We have invested millions of pounds in our MAGIC manufacturing lines in Plymouth that are ramping up to volume production this year," said Barry Dennington.

Philips Taiwan has set up ambitious goal for 2013 LED lighting sales. According to Philips Taiwan President Edward Po, the company plans to boost its sales of LED lighting equipment in Taiwan by two to three folds in 2013 from 2012, and the number of its residential lighting showrooms will increase to seven by the end of 2013.


Recently, at an international building-materials trade show held in Taipei, the company promoted its iF-awarded and Red Dot-awarded led high bay light roducts as well as LED intelligent lighting control system.In Po’s opinion, the intelligent control system is one of the crucial developments in the LED lighting industry, providing residences, marketplaces and commercial sites with energy-saving and light-color changing merits, not to mention quality lighting environment.He also disclosed that the company has released a number of indoor lighting applications and solutions in hope of building a quality living environment for Taiwan’s residents in cooperation with homebuilders, architects, and indoor-decoration designers.Our outlook reflects the soft market conditions and very tight lending environment in the solar and LED industries that we serve, as well as the overall challenging macroeconomic environment.
