Larson Electronics Releases a 25 Watt Explosion Proof LED Forklift Light

The EPL-TN-FKLT-RED red LED forklift safety light from Larson Electronics is an explosion proof light that produces 2,250 lumens of sharp red light while drawing only 2.09 amps from a 12 volt electrical system. This LED spotlight is designed to be mounted on the front and back of a forklift or other heavy machinery to warn pedestrians and bystanders when in the path of an oncoming forklift. Five, five-watt red LEDs producing 450 lumens each are combined with high output parabolic reflectors to produce a narrow five degree spread spot beam, providing a high intensity center beam that is visible at night and during the day.

The housing for this unit formed from extruded aluminum and the lens is constructed of unbreakable polycarbonate. The light is enclosed in a Class 1 Division 1 casing constructed of copper-free aluminum with a thermoset powder coat finish. The lens on the casing is constructed of ¾” thermal shock and impact resistant tempered glass. This LED warning light can operate in temperatures ranging between     -40°C and 80°C. It is also waterproof (up to one meter) and resistant to the ingress of dust, dirt, and humidity. This LED safety light is permanently mounted with a yolk type mounting bracket with a single through hole.

Local group launching campaign to relight the Tower Bridge with LEDs

Sandy Smoley, the indomitable doyenne of all things Sacramento, is at it again. The former County Supervisor, Health and Welfare Secretary under Governor Pete Wilson, and current “Queen of Midtown” (for the coveted who’s-who soirees she holds on her porch) is on a crusade to “Repower the Tower” by relighting the Tower Bridge in brighter, more energy-efficient and endlessly programmable LED lights. The idea came to the 80 year-old Smoley, who resembles a fairy godmother with her splashy outfits and outgoing persona (easy to imagine her keeping a wand in her handbag), while she was dining on the bridge during last year’s Farm-to-Fork Gala Dinner Sept. 25.

300 LED streetlights stolen in south Delhi

Hundreds of spots across south Delhi have gone dark after LED streetlights that illuminated them were stolen recently. At least 300 LED lights have been stolen from poles, forcing the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) to lodge four separate FIRs, Chief Engineer (Electrical) Firoz Ahmed said. A senior police officer said drug addicts in the area usually target poles when police presence is low or fewer people are around, especially late at night or in the early hours of the day.

Light Bulbs That Help You Sleep

Sleep is a problem in Gail Conn’s household. Her teenage son studies late into the night and her 88-year-old mother, who suffers from dementia, gets agitated at night. To tackle the problems, Ms. Conn looked up — at her light bulbs. In her family’s apartment on East 49th Street in Midtown Manhattan, she replaced the existing lighting in all three bedrooms with bulbs designed to help the body sleep at night and stay alert during the day. In the lamp by her mother’s bedroom chair, for example, she placed a Good Night bulb by Lighting Science, with depleted blue spectrum light to help lull her to sleep.

Netherlands Introduces Pavement LEDs to Alert Smartphone Zombies

In the Netherlands, cycling is the most popular form of travel and drivers usually would not compete with pedestrians and cyclists. Thus, the number of road accidents is relatively low. However, smartphone zombies still exist, and if they are listening to music on their phones at the same time, they will be even more unaware of traffic conditions. To keep smartphone zombies safe, the Dutch town of Bodegraven is trialing a new ground-level traffic light system which alerts pedestrians when they are about to cross the road.

How Sengled made a smart lightbulb

Last month, Sengled showcased its new Element lightbulb at CES 2017 in a model connected home display at Sands Expo. The Element bulb is the world’s first carbon-neutral lightbulb, according to the company. It’s not actually the bulb itself that’s carbon-neutral, but the company’s “One Bulb One Tree” campaign. The Element bulb is so efficient, it produces less carbon than a tree absorbs, and Sengled plants a tree for every lightbulb customers buy. Because each tree can absorb the carbon each lightbulb produces, the bulb effectively has zero carbon footprint.

The flickering from an LED light for a hard disk drive can hijacked to transmit encoded data

The seemingly harmless blinking lights on servers and desktop PCs may give away secrets if a hacker can hijack them with malware. Researchers in Israel have come up with an innovative hack that turns a computer's LED light into a signaling system that shows passwords and other sensitive data. The researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev demonstrated the hack in a YouTube video posted Wednesday.

Simpson Bay causeway LED lights soon fully operational

Technicians expect to have the light emitting diode (LED) lights on the Simpson Bay causeway fully operational within the first quarter of 2017, Port of St. Maarten announced in a press release. “Weather, hurricane-related and frequent power outages have taken a toll on the lighting system at the causeway, leading Port St. Maarten Management to look at options to mitigate especially the electrical challenges due to power outages. The sensitivity of the system has been adjusted due to the frequent electrical power outages,” the Port explained

SAE adds new standards for LED-based automotive lighting

The use of LEDs for automotive lighting exterior applications was introduced in the early 1990s. In the last two decades, major efforts in technology development for automotive lighting have been centered on adopting LEDs and laser diodes (LD), and on increasing the benefits of using these light sources. The SAE International Lighting Standard Committee is a standardization body which has been actively developing the standards that reflect industry best practices. Recently, SAE published the standard J3069 for adaptive drive beam (ADB) headlamps, where LED and LD sources are used and the beam is dynamically controlled.

Seoul Semiconductor starts mass production of its patented filament LEDs

Seoul Semiconductor announced the immediate start of the mass production of its LED chip-on-board package for use in LED filament bulbs, a market currently estimated to be $1.3 billion globally. Mr. Ki-bum Nam, CTO of Seoul Semiconductor, said, “Based on its strong patents, Seoul Semiconductor will continue to increase its market share in the filament LED bulb market, which is a blue ocean market estimated at $1.3 billion.” He added: “We will widely promote the superiority of Seoul Semiconductor’s LED technology with its filament LEDs.”

Stretchy OLED technology could pave way for new smart fabrics

Researchers at Michigan State University have developed a printable OLED circuit within a stretchable material, potentially paving the way for smart fabrics or truly foldable displays. Chuan Wang, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MSU, is credited with the development of the OLED fabric, which flexes and stretches. If it can be commercialized, designers could take the techniology in several directions, including phones or tablets whose displays could be “stretched,” as well as the development of smart fabrics for banners, clothes, or other uses.

Builders warm to new lighting tech, but challenges remain

Until recently, the lighting scheme in a newly built house was something of an afterthought. Aside from installing recessed cans in the kitchen ceiling, vanity lighting above the bathroom sink, a pendant over the dining room table and plenty of wall outlets throughout the house, builders have long left the details of lighting their homes to buyers to figure out after they move in. The passage of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 triggered the first real shake-up around that notion, effectively phasing out common household incandescent lamps and providing a stricter energy-efficiency mandate for new light sources.

German researchers develop low-glare LEDs for streetlighting

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology's Light Technology Institute, in Germany, have created a low-power LED array that offers improved efficiency and reduced glare in streetlighting applications, according to New Atlas. Interconnected wiring enables the array to stay lit even if individual diodes fail, allowing for a larger number of LEDs within a circuit and a lower power threshold of 20 volts. Running cooler and producing less glare than traditional high-performance LEDs, the array is being incorporated in fixtures by Gratz Luminance, a lighting products manufacturer in Weinsberg, Germany.









Dive Insight

Alien abductions. Prison yard search lights. Hollywood film crews. Those are just a few of the metaphors Brooklyn, N.Y., residents used to complain to The New York Times about glare created from LED streetlights. Sure, LEDs save energy and are better for the environment than high intensity discharge lamps and their incandescent ancestors, but higher levels of luminosity — particularly in residential settings — has been anything but aesthetically pleasing.

As New York and other global metros look to upgrade street-lighting systems, researchers are developing LED units that are a little easier on the eyes. (New York City looks to complete the replacement of 250,000 bulbs this year.) The KIT innovation is based on circuitry: By using interconnected wiring, the array can be powered by lower voltages to substantially reduce glare. Interconnected wiring also results in cooler lighting, and the array won’t completely blackout as individual diodes fail — think parallel versus series wiring.

Gratz Luminance has said it plans to have commercially available bulbs by the end of 2017. That's if Brooklynites can wait that long.

A university was attacked by its lightbulbs and lamp posts

It sounds like a sci-fi movie. Over 5,000 connected devices, including light bulbs and vending machines, were hacked to slow internet service at a university to a crawl. Poorly secured internet of things (IoT) devices have become gold mines for hackers looking to launch DDoS attacks to take websites and services offline. But this latest case, detailed in Verizon's Data Breach Digest 2017, is the rare example of gadgets attacking their own network. The devices were making hundreds of Domain Name Service (DNS) lookups every 15 minutes, causing the university's network connectivity to become unbearably slow or even inaccessible.

LED lamps light unique nature sculpture in London restaurant

Over the holiday season at the end of 2016 and into early 2017, the stylish Aqua Shard restaurant in London, located on the 31st floor of The Shard skyscraper, was home to an LED-illuminated suspended sculpture that was in part a different approach to a traditional Christmas tree. The lighting project utilized MentorLED Remote fixtures from Light Projects equipped with Soraa LED lamps to deliver uplight into a 9m-high cascading leaf sculpture called Human Nature. Timothy Hatton Architects designed the project, working with British naturalist Sir David Attenborough, and with the ultimate goal of benefitting Attenborough’s Flora & Fauna International charity. Lighting Design International assisted with the lighting design on the project.

The 9m sculpture that hung in the three-story atrium of the restaurant was created using 3D printing technology. Leaves were created to represent five different British woodland tree types — English oak, silver birch, dogwood, wych elm, and field maple. The leaves were made of recycled plastic. During the day, the white leaves played counterpoint to the views of the London skyline. At night with the lights on and dimmed for effect, the leaves seemingly floated in space, casting gentle shadows on the ceiling.

The leading film quality and purity, and the fast, cost-efficient mass manufacturing in fully automated batch ALD tools are other key assets where Picosun's ALD solutions will accelerate the market entrance of the new LED products.

Make A Dimmable LED Lighting Fixture For Your Workshop

Medfield Energy Committee recommends LED streetlights

In its continued quest to reduce energy consumption by 20 percent, Medfield's Energy Committee is recommending converting all 347 town streetlights to LED lights. According to the committee's report, that changeover would drop the cost to run and maintain the lights from $41,000 a year to just $8,300 per year. Another incentive, according to committee chairman Fred Bunger, is the potential for grant money from the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) that could potentially pay for 30 percent of the installation costs.

Two-way LEDs could turn screens into touchless chargers

Could it one day be possible to top up your phone's battery from ambient light? Companies like Japan's Kyocera, who have solar-powered displays in the works, certainly think so, as do material scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who have developed multi-purpose LED arrays that absorb light and turn it into electricity, (and pack a number of other neat tricks as well).

The LED arrays consist of tiny nanorods arranged on a thin film that are made from three types of semiconductor material and measure less than five nanometers in diameter. One of these materials both emits and absorbs visible light, while the other two materials facilitate how electrons flow through the first. This combination gives the LEDs the ability to emit, sense and respond to visible light.

They do this simultaneously by switching really quickly between emitting mode and detecting mode. This happens so quickly, three orders of magnitude faster than a standard display refreshes, that it is imperceptible to the human eye, meaning that the display appears as if it is constantly alight.

When it does detect light, it behaves in a similar way to a solar cell, absorbing it through the photovoltaic effect. At the moment, this is only on a very small scale, but the researchers are buoyed by their early results and believe that they can work toward a self-powered LED display that doesn't compromise on performance.

"The key improvement would be in the device being able to absorb much more of the ambient light," Moonsub Shim, lead author of the study, explains to New Atlas. "However, displays also need to emit light and that imposes a limitation. I think there are ways around this problem but further research is needed."

Whether this means that all of – or just the majority – of the display's power would come from the array itself is unknown at this stage, nevertheless Shim tells us he is "optimistic about the prospect of powering by harvesting ambient light."

Using this light-detection capability to generate power might be the long game, but the researchers say it could offer some highly useful functionality in the shorter term, too. Because the arrays can be programmed to react to light signals, it could be used to create interactive displays that recognize objects or respond to touch-less gestures, such as a wave, an approaching finger or a laser stylus in a electronic whiteboard-type setup.

What's more, they could automatically adjust their brightness depending on ambient light. On one hand, this is similar to how some laptops and mobile devices will automatically dim when the room is brighter, on the other hand, it could offer something more.

New design tools bring large-area LED products on the market with speed, quality and lower costs

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland develops novel LED light sources based on large, flexible and transparent substrates in collaboration with the Finnish companies Flexbright and Lighting Design Collective. An easy-to-customise LED foil suitable for mass production enables the introduction of the large area lighting and display technologies to applications such as vehicles, greenhouses, shopping centres and architectural lighting.

The three-year European project Delphi4LED develops design and simulation tools for LED structures to better meet the needs of the rapidly evolving lighting industry and end users.
Heat management is a key factor dictating the performance and reliability of LED lighting solutions. The operation of LED components is also affected by their electrical and optical characteristics. Combining all of these properties is difficult using the existing design tools.

In Delphi4LED project new simulation models are being developed to consider the above factors in a simplified form. This saves on computing capacity, enabling a more comprehensive design than is currently possible.

Philips acquires French Li-Fi company

Holland’s Philips Lighting has quietly acquired a small French company specializing in visible light communications (VLC) in a move believed to be aimed at boosting Philips’ capabilities in Li-Fi, the light-based technology expected to provide Wi-Fi-like two-way Internet communications. The company, Luciom, has relocated from Colombelles near Caen in northern France, to Philips Lighting headquarters in Eindhoven. “Philips Lighting acquired Luciom at the end of 2016,” a Philips spokesperson confirmed for LEDs Magazine, noting that all eight of Luciom’s employees now work for Philips.

Adura launches LED light engines optimized for horticultural lighting fixtures

Light-engine manufacturer Adura has announced two new modular LED light engines that specifically target horticultural solid-state lighting (SSL) applications. The finished modules include LEDs, optics, and thermal elements that enable integration in passively-cooled luminaires. The modules mix phosphor-converted white LED and red LEDs to deliver high levels of photosynthetic photon flux (PPF). Adura's LED light engines are engineered for horticultural lighting, with energy peaks in the blue and red regions that optimize photosynthesis in plants. The SinkPad II technology and heat sink used on the modules will enable passively-cooled luminaires.

Novel LED street lights reduce costs

Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed a novel type of LED street light of increased efficiency. Compared to conventional LEDs, power consumption may be reduced by up to 20%. This will also decrease costs and CO₂ emission. Conventional high-power diodes are replaced by a special array of LEDs. This enhances efficiency, increases service life and safety, and produces a better light.

Parallel connection of a large number of LEDs is difficult, as failure of a single diode will cause failure of the overall system or section. According to Michael Heidinger of KIT's Light Technology Institute, the alternative of connecting LEDs in series is also associated with drawbacks, because the voltage required increases with the number of diodes used. As the legally permissible contact voltage is limited to 120 volts, only up to 40 LEDs have been connected in series so far.

Heidinger has now invented an interconnection method that compensates aging and failures of individual LEDs. This method allows to install a large number of LEDs -- 144 in the prototype -- on a single board and to operate the array safely. This new switching concept works with far smaller voltages. "Voltage of the prototype was 20 volts," Heidinger says.

Meet the $100 lightbulb that could reshape modern offices

LED efficiency and a few key smart controls might have been the biggest innovations in consumer lighting in recent years, but innovations in the commercial space can take things a whole lot further. Offering high-efficiency RGB customization and constant self-checks to maintain a cohesive lighting scheme, Ketra’s bulbs have begun to reshape modern offices. They aren’t cheap though, with each individual bulb costing as much as $100. Ketra isn’t a company that is going to sell much to the general public at that sort of price, but it isn’t trying to. It’s instead focused on large-scale business installations. Its most recent project was advertising agency, R/GA, which spent over a million dollars on the lighting in its new offices.

LED lighting could have major impact on wildlife

LED street lighting can be tailored to reduce its impacts on the environment, according to new research by the University of Exeter. The UK-based study found predatory spiders and beetles were drawn to grassland patches lit by LED lighting at night, but the number of species affected was markedly reduced when the lights were dimmed by 50% and switched off between midnight and 4am.

LED light bulbs are a smart upgrade whether or not they’re ‘smart’

Lighting my home is something I only ever think about fleetingly — usually while replacing a blown-out halogen bulb — but this past week I discovered LED light bulbs and, well, I’m sorry I’m so late to this cool party.

Unfortunately, LED lights have been swept up into the whole "smart home" mess, with app-controlled dimming and hue adjustments and whatnot, making them both costlier and more complex than they need to be. But what about the simple LED light bulb, the one that just plugs into the place of ye olde incandescents and does only one job?

Baltimore and BGE mark 200th anniversary of first gas street lamp

Leaders from Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. and City Hall rededicated a lamp there Tuesday, 200 years to the day after the pole was first lit in a preview of the eventual illumination of streets and squares across the city. "At that time, gas lighting was innovation," said Alexander G. Nunez, a BGE senior vice president for regulatory and external affairs. "It was smart energy." Baltimore was the first city outside England to adopt gas street lights. (London in 1807 was the world's first.)

Maximus Smart Security Light is a 3-in-1 Smart Home Device

Buying a light fixture for your house, especially one that's outside and greets you when you come home, feels personal. It's important the light functions properly and is easy to install—and also looks like home. Kuna Systems sent us their Maximus Smart Security Light to test, and we spent some time with the device, which we found not only decorative, but also intriguing in its ability to combine voice, security, smart lights and a video doorbell.

Build Your Own Accent Light with Concrete and Some LEDs

Now that LED strips exist, it’s super easy to make your own lighting. Case in point, YouTuber Darbin Orvar shows off her light cube packed between a couple of slabs on concrete.

Novel Crystal Structure Could Be Used to Build LEDs

The discovery of a one-dimensional crystal structure that is highly photo luminescent could help facilitate the development of novel applications for optoelectronic devices such as LEDs, photovoltaic cells and lasers. The crystal is an organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskite. Its one-dimensional structure enables strong quantum confinement with the formation of self-trapped excited states that give efficient blue-white light emissions. Broadband bluish white-light emissions peaking at 475 nm, with a large full width at half maximum of around 157 nm, were demonstrated for both the bulk and microscale crystals at room temperature

LEC Lyon lights Annecy’s Lovers’ Bridge with networked LED lighting system

LEC Lyon has announced an outdoor LED-based lighting project completed in Annecy, France near the border of Switzerland. The famed Pont des Amours or Lovers’ Bridge now feature a solid-state lighting (SSL) system that’s fully equipped with a DMX control system. The lighting reflects dramatically on the bridge architecture and the Thiou River flowing underneath yet pedestrians on the bridge experience subdued lighting — carefully controlled for light spill and glare.

The Lovers’ Bridge is so known because of a local legend that states that lovers who kiss in the center of the bridge will be together forever. It’s located where the river enters Lake Annecy and links the Champs de Mars greenbelt with Annecy’s city gardens, or Jardins de l’Europe, just adjacent to the city center.

Thousands of lightbulbs exchanged in Danbury

Nearly 700 Danbury residents participated in the city’s light bulb swap, exchanging more than 3,500 incandescent light bulbs for new, energy-efficient bulbs for free. Danbury residents who swapped out five of their home’s old, inefficient light bulbs are expected to save more than $50 in annual energy costs, according to a news release on the swap.

LED Expo Thailand 2017 promises lucrative business opportunities

Going with the latest pronounced estimate, the US $29.6 billion global LED lighting market is expected to touch US $ 33.1 billion by the end of 2017. The credit for the surge goes to the regional lighting development as LED lighting accounts for 23% of total lightings in Europe, which is the highest across the world. The second and third highest absorbing regions are to be found in North America and China. However, Asia- Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest growth rate in LED lighting. Indian government has already adopted mass replacement of the conventional lighting sources with the LEDs for its plan to changeover 700 million LED light bulbs and 35 million streetlights across the country by 2018.

LED lighting in Southeast Asia has strongly developed in recent years, and has gradually strengthened to replace traditional lighting. Although under the influences of the overall economic environment in 2015, growth slowed down, but it is expected that along with policy incentives and increase of replacement demand, LED lighting penetration rate and import scale of Southeast Asia will continue to increase in the next few years, turning it as a major hub for manufacturers across the globe exporting LED lighting products.

To witness all this and many more, LED Expo Thailand 2017 is the best place to be a part thereof. Focusing on LED lighting products & technology, the Show is dedicated to science, technology and applications of the solid state lighting i.e. LEDs. It aims to accelerate the growth of the LED lighting markets in the Southeast Asian region by providing a dynamic hub for LED/lighting companies to congregate, promote, discuss, transact, partner and gain insights on neighboring LED markets at a niche level.

Thailand is ranked as the 50th largest country in the world is a part of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and ASEAN’s Economic Community along with nine other countries namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. The aim of AEC for 2015 is to create a single ASEAN market with gross domestic product (GDP) of $2.5 trillion and trade of $1 trillion.

Over the last four years, LED Expo Thailand has proved its mettle as why it is a vital initiative towards energy conservation and a green environment by the host organization- Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) and the show organizers- IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd. and MEX Exhibitions Pvt. Ltd. This year in addition to EGAT, The Ministry of Energy is also a host organisation to the show additionally being supported by the Federation of Thai Industries. Acting as a prelude to the show every year, a series of roadshows are held all over Southeast Asia in an attempt to engage regional LED lighting sectors and promote energy efficiency & investment opportunities in those respective countries.

There’s no denial to the fact that as Thailand continues to implement its new energy framework that’s stable, sustainable and affordable; opportunities for LED lighting products & components’ manufacturers as well as suppliers would be getting unfolded in abundance. According to statistics, the Thailand lighting market valued at US$ 800 million, in 2014, up 12% compared to 2013. The country’s LED industry is estimated to grow over 30% in the next five years with indoor and construction applications consisting two major components of the country’s LED lighting industry
