United Supermarkets here has retrofitted low- and medium-temperature refrigerated display cases in all of its 47 stores with a light-emitting diode (LED) solution from Lumination, Cleveland, a GE Consumer & Industrial business. The LED solution replaces United Supermarket’s traditional fluorescent lamps. In all, United retrofitted more than 3,600 doors in its reach-in door merchandisers with the LED technology. United expects to save more than $633,000 annually in energy and maintenance costs, said Lumination. “Lowering our energy costs is very important to us,” said Michael Molina, vice president of facilities and design at United Supermarkets, in a statement. “The LED retrofit in our refrigerated coolers is providing significant energy savings.” The expected payback is 1.8 years through energy savings and many years of virtually maintenance-free service with a rated life of up to 50,000 hours, said Lumination.

A clustered LED light bulb like the CC VIVID Plus LED is an energy efficient, long lasting multi-directional light bulb that actually costs less than CFLs in the long run, while providing healthier lighting right now.

The CC VIVID Plus LED light bulb has a standard cork screw socket, but with a ten year lifespan and like most clustered LED light bulbs of its category, is quickly becoming the trend in sustainable solutions to indoor/outdoor artificial lighting.

The LED is a directional light, that will last for a long time and works well with dimming mechanisms, but when clustered (such as this one with 36 LEDs), that directional lighting quantifies immensely.

available in AC or DC, 120V AC (1.84 Watts) and 12V DC (2.5 Watts), 60 lumens, 36 LEDs, dispersed output, average bulb life of 60,000 hours (ten years), safe for outdoor/indoor/small space use, with a two year warranty, measures 3.25 x 2.25 and ships at one pound.

Energy efficient, dispersed higher light output, perfect for accent lighting, reading, porches, smaller rooms, hallways, cubbyholes, or wherever needed most around the home; clustered LED light bulbs such as the CC VIVID Plus LED bulb are a great way to improve the environmental friendliness of your home for a more self-reliant way of life that starts with your pocket book.

Qualcomm MEMS Technologies Inc. recently took the wraps off its first multicolor displays at the Society for Information Display conference, simultaneously revealing the first customer application for the displays.

The initial versions of the company’s Mirasol MEMS displays have snagged eight designs wins over the past year; three of them in cellphone handsets, despite being monochrome. Based on a movable membrane technology called interferometric modulation, the displays are reflective devices that offer two advantages over LEDs and OLEDs: they consume very little power and are readable under outdoor ambient lighting conditions.

The new line of colorful displays includes 0.9-inch, 2.1-inch and 3.3-inch diagonal devices. The 0.9-inch, with a 128 x 96-pixel format and miniscule 9mW power diet, has been chosen by Freestyle Audio for its next-generation waterproof, shockproof MP3 players. Freestyle’s market consists of music enthusiasts who are involved in outdoor sports such as swimming, surfing, boogie boarding, snowboarding, rafting, kayaking, recreational bicycling, running and hiking.

The new Freestyle devices will be submersible. “With regard to their display’s outdoor readability, you would not want a surfer to cup his hand to read the display while he’s being chased by a shark,” quipped Jim Cathey, QMT VP of business development.

The monochrome Mirasol displays are manufactured primarily for Qualcomm by Prime View International in Taiwan, and last month Qualcomm announced collaboration with Taiwan’s Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co. Ltd to establish a new Taiwan factory for its next-generation displays, also known as multicolor displays.

Grote has added the SuperNova LED single-diode back-up lamps to its line of LED lamps, providing light output rivaling multi-diode versions.

“Using Grote’s advanced product development prowess and Grote’s leading LED WhiteLight technology we were able to develop a more advanced back-up lamp featuring high output LEDs,” said Steve Green, business development manager for signal lighting. “The advancement in Grote’s LED WhiteLight technology and its related surface mount electronics production systems, have migrated to our SuperNova signal lighting line.”

The lamps feature standard Grote Male Pin and hard-shell terminations and are fully encapsulated in patented specially formulated potting which provides thermal protection as well as corrosion, shock and moisture resistance.

Grote’s new lamp meet all FMVSS,108 and SAE requirements for visibility and safety.

Big Moving Pictures will be rolling out a fleet of mobile LED screen displays which will be part of a new advertising medium. These displays will definitely put your spanking new 52″ plasma TV in your living room to shame, considering the fact that the ones offered by Big Moving Pictures are extremely massive, towering over ordinary folk at 40′ x 22′. These HDTV LED displays will be attached to trucks, allowing it to engage the audience at major outdoor events in an unprecedented, close-to-home manner. I wonder what the power consumption of such a huge screen would be like - certainly the truck ferrying these HDTVs around will have more than a mere battery?

Big time events will definitely appreciate huge screens such as these, since the noise from an F1 or Indy car is anything but quiet. Thankfully, we still have our visual faculties to help us get a hang of everything around us, and these huge LED displays were specially constructed to be seen at a distance in daylight conditions, enabling it to easily address outdoor audiences of over 100,000 people. The brightest Light-Emitting-Diode (LED) technology available can be found in these mammoth displays, making the MEGASCREENS (as it is known) to be the biggest and most powerful LED-based display solution to date.

Setting it up at an event isn’t as simple as hooking up a few cables like the TV in your licing room though - it will take around an hour to get it up and running right after it arrives onsite. Good news is, this can be done by a single technician or truck driver, doing away with the need for you to employ yet another tech-head to get it going. The image area sizing measures 39.4′ wide and 22′ in height, allowing you and the audience to view the promotional material in a true 16:9 aspect ratio for direct usage of 720P HDTV signals. Other features include an LED element pitch of 15mm and a brightness range up to 10,000NITS. I can’t wait for the first proposal in the world that uses this screen.

Japan LED Association (JLEDS) released a technical roadmap of high power white LEDs for use in lighting systems.

The roadmap shows the luminance efficiency, etc, until 2020 for each of the high efficiency models, which emit standard white light, the high color rendition models, which have improved color rendering properties, and the light bulb models, which output light in incandescent colors. According to the roadmap, a luminance efficiency of 150lm/W will be achieved in about 2015.

While highly efficient fluorescent lamps generally exhibit a luminance efficiency of about 100lm/W, the luminance efficiencies of the high efficiency model, the high color rendition model and the light bulb model are about 100lm/W, 80lm/W or higher, 100lm/W as of 2008. JLEDS forecasts that these figures will increase to about 130lm/W, about 120lm/W and 90lm/W or higher in 2010, and reach 160lm/W or higher, 140lm/W or higher and about 130lm/W in 2015.

JLEDS is a Japanese industrial organization that promotes LED-based lighting systems. The latest roadmap is a revised version of white LED technical roadmap released by the organization in September 2005. The roadmap is based on the outcome of a questionnaire that JLEDS conducted for its member companies.

The roadmap estimates that the LED lighting systems will be widely used mainly in commercial facilities around 2010, when the luminance efficiency exceeds 100lm/W. It also forecasts that the use of LED lighting will be promoted in offices and residences around 2015, when the quality of light, eg the color of light emitted from the white LED, is improved.

The estimated sales of LED lighting systems in Japan will be about ¥400 billion (US$3,838 million) in 2010 and about ¥800 billion in 2015.

The roadmap also discusses the issues for the promotion of LED lighting. Among them, it cites the cost problem as the biggest hurdle. An LED lighting system is reportedly 5-10 times more expensive than fluorescent lighting equipment or an HID system. This is because the price of light source per luminance (yen/lm) of a white LED is two orders of magnitude higher and the white LED lighting system additionally requires a heatsink, a power supply, a lens, etc.

Thus, it is important to make efforts to reduce the cost of not just the light source but also the peripherals, JLEDS said. The improvement of light quality is also unavoidable because color temperature and color rendering properties are highly valued in indoor lighting, according to the organization.

While Taiwan-based LED maker Ledtech Electronics shipped small-volumes of LED light bars to the US last May for use inrefrigeration equipment and received LED light bar orders from Coca Cola this March, Everlight Electronics also aims to make inroads into the US market for LED light bars used in refrigeration equipment, and it expects to begin shipments in small volumes by the end of 2008.

Everlight is currently sampling its LED light bars to the American Trucking Associations (ATA), and validation will require about half a year, the company stated.

Facing the new rival, Ledtech is not worried about competition in the future. Ledtech noted that there is room for more than one competitor in the LED light bar market due to growing demand for LED light bars for use in refrigeration equipment.
