Dear  ,

Experience shows that early adoption of many new technology developments into the market goes hand in hand with a lack of quality, and in some cases, a critical lack of safety. Performance increase, design and cost optimization are important areas that need to be further developed in LED and OLED technology. In parallel, a lot of effort in research and industry should be made to evolve the quality and guarantee the safety of LED and OLED based lighting. In this respect test-lab activities, state-of-the-art approvals and continuously updated standards are needed to support the market with valuable products.

 

The first issue of the year covers the topics of performance, testing and safety issues: Photometry Standardization, Measurement with Integrating Spheres, Standards for Smart Lighting, Voltage Limits for PWM Operated LED Drivers.

 

 
As always, the latest research and industry news from the past 2 weeks can be found below.

Yours Sincerely
Siegfried Luger

Target Group-Adequate Lighting of Shop and Retail Areas - New Retail Study by Zumtobel

Figure 1: The group STIMULANCE (Hedonists, Adventurers), responded most positively to lighting scenes with relatively strong contrasts, created by accent lighting and a variety of different spots (Photo credits: Zumtobel) n a laboratory study conducted by Zumtobel and Gruppe Nymphenburg it has been possi-ble for the first time to measure people's affective responses to various lighting scenarios in shops on an empirical basis. In the process, the lighting preferences of seven different groups of customers were analysed using a neuropsychological target group model. The findings of this study will help to develop lighting concepts for retail, to present goods per-fectly and to increase the customers' sense of ... Read more »

Cree Sets New Efficiency Benchmark with First 200 LPW LED Luminaire Prototype

Cree, Inc. raises the performance bar again with the demonstration of the first 200 lumen-per-watt (LPW) LED concept luminaire, which is more than twice the efficiency of the best linear fluorescent luminaires. The latest Department of Energy (DoE) projections* had estimated that this level of luminaire efficiency would not occur until after 2020, but Cree's latest innovation has made this possible six years sooner than projected. The prototype leverages Cree's vertical integration with ... Read more »

Cree Introduces New High-CRI LED Modules

LMH2 LED modules from Cree. DURHAM, NC -- The new 6000-lumen LMH2 LED module from Cree (Nasdaq: CREE) is the industry's brightest module to offer color-quality greater than 90 CRI at a consistent efficacy of 85 lumens per watt across a wide range of color temperatures (3000 K, 3500 K and 4000 K). The no-compromise LED solution is the ideal replacement for 100-watt ceramic-metal-halide lamps in high-ceiling applications, using 30 percent less power, lasting three times as long and delivering instant-on, dimmable light.
