Professor Rothschild, who is the sole owner of U.S. Patent Number 5,252,499, as well as the recently expired `618 patent and foreign patents related thereto, is currently Howe Professor Emeritus of Materials Science and Engineering at Columbia. She was issued two U.S. patents in the early 1990s that cover methods of producing wide band-gap semiconductors for LEDs and LDs.

According to the company, the new module’s one-of-a-kind ease of installation, a clockwise twist motion, contrasts sharply with current integrated LED luminaires and LED modules that are not easily replaceable because they require mechanical fasteners to couple the LED package to a heat sink, and a plug to make the electrical connection. With the new GE offering, the necessary thermal and electrical connections are made with a simple twist of the module into its socket. Lumination purchased the next-generation LED module technology from Journée Lighting, Inc, a California-based LED fixture designer and manufacturer.

Leaders of GE Consumer & Industrial in the U.S. and Europe are already presenting the new module to luminaire manufacturers, distributors, retailers and the lighting design community.
