- Got LED Lighting? Amusement Parks Need To See The Light
Here’s a question for all you LED gurus out there: Why don’t amusement parks use LEDs on their rides? I just came back from a trip to a locally famous (i.e. not Disney or Six Flags etc..) amusement park that has been operating since 1902 and they just recently put in some fantastic new rides and [...]
Mon, 10 Sep 2007 15:59:14 +0000 - LED Whiteboard
What the heck is he talking about now? Some have already noticed but I feel it’s time to send a shout out about the LED Development Blog Whiteboard (See the tabs at the top of the blog for About Me, Contact Me, and Whiteboard? Click on those.) The Whiteboard is where I will be sticking [...]
Mon, 10 Sep 2007 14:48:18 +0000 - Cree to Obsolete The Light Bulb?
Hmmmm….could be. Cree just announced they have achieved 1000+ lumens from a single-die XLamp LED driven at 4 Amps yielding a luminous efficacy of 72 lumens/watt which is about the same output level of a standard household light bulb. Wowza! That is a lot of light but at the same time, that is a lot [...]

Here’s a case study (uggh!Pardon the pun) in the works: Our engineering department and myself would be very interested to get any feedback you might have on tackling the issue of shelf lighting (i.e. under shelf lighting) for product illumination on low-clearance shelves in a display case. The problem is this particular customer wants uniform or [...]

Osram just released a new Golden Dragon LED with oval-shaped lenses with 20 or 40 degree viewing angles specifically for roadway illumination. Head over to my Architectural Lighting Blog to get the rest of the story. Hopefully I’m not dating myself with the Lucky Charms joke I posted. Let me know. Technorati Tags: leds [...]
Wed, 05 Sep 2007 17:09:24 +0000 - GE To Buy Cree?!?!?
Cree shares rise on GE buyout rumors Apparently, an unsubstantiated story ran on Bloomberg News that said that General Electric could buyout Cree, Inc. Evidentially, this rumor has come up before and honestly, with the jump of Cree, Inc stock by nearly 10% on the news, it wouldn’t surprise me to find out Cree starts that [...]
Wed, 05 Sep 2007 16:31:57 +0000 - Awesome FREE Lighting Analysis Software
Recently, I stumbled across DIALux which is an advanced, yet easy to use lighting analysis package and YES it can and does simulate LEDs and LED luminaires. I was totally amazed to find that such a well-polished program would be distributed totally free! The program is for anyone who is responsible for lighting design planning [...]
Tue, 04 Sep 2007 14:41:12 +0000 - Flowchart Shows Just Who’s Who In The LED Industry
Recently, Seoul Semiconductor and Osram came to terms regarding white and visible LED technologies, both agreeing to share their patents (click here to read the full story from LEDs Magazine). While it is nice to see to rival companies, in such a hotly contested and highly competitive arena, come to an agreement to avoid a [...]
Fri, 31 Aug 2007 19:32:23 +0000 - Nano-sized UV Leds
New Fabrication Technique Yields Nanoscale UV LEDs It’s really neat when the rest of the world is all a buzz about super high-brightness LEDs and LED modules that are big and bright enough to burn you facial silhouette into concrete that the boys at NIST, University of Maryland, and Howard University have cooked up [...]
Wed, 29 Aug 2007 14:46:02 +0000 - LED Scanners - No, it’s not a horror movie.
Epson has just announced that it will begin production of an all LED illuminated photo scanner shortly. Their Perfection V500 scanner will use white LEDs for the scanning illumination instead of the typical fluorescents we all know and have to deal with. The biggest impact is that these devices can be switched on and produce [...]
