AbstractThis paper presents a 75W single-stage power supply unit for LED lighting. The proposed power supply designed using flyback converter topology that is controlled by the critical conduction mode control. The secondary side of main transformer is directly connected to LED strings. By a constant current feedback circuit, this flyback converter directly regulates LED current. Although the proposed circuit doesn’t need input current-sensing and input voltage feed-forward, it can achieve high power factor for wide input range. A prototype experimental set-up has been built and tested. Through this experiment with a prototype set-up, the validity of the proposed circuit is verified.
1. Introduction
In recent years, LED technology has been grown rapidly and it is considered as a most strong candidate for the next generation lighting source due to high energy efficiency, long life time and its positive environmental attributes. Moreover, LED technology controls the color, shape, illumination pattern as well as light itself [1]. In the case of indoor or street LED lighting application, a power supply unit(PSU) that converts AC input voltage to DC output voltage is necessary and various topologies have being considered [2-4]. The PSUs for low power LED lighting are normally single-stage converter types but two stage converters are common for a high power LED lighting applications due to their power limitation. In this paper a single-stage PSU for high power LED lighting is presented. As the power converter circuit, flyback converter topology is applied because it doesn’t need an inductive output filter, the main transformer works as an inductive filter itself and the input and output stages can be isolated [5, 6]. The proposed circuit used a critical conduction mode (CRM) PFC controller and the input voltage and switching current are not needed, the only output voltage feed-back is necessary. Through an experiment with a prototype 75W single stage flyback converter, the feasibility of the proposed single stage PSU, control scheme and feedback methods are examined and discussed in this paper.
2. Single Stage Flyback Converter for LED
2.1 Fundamental analysis
Figure 1 shows the circuit diagram of a flyback AC-DC converter. Both CV(constant voltage) and CC(constant current) feedback circuit are needed to prevent overload condition as well as over voltage conditions. In LED lighting, the output is always full load condition and the forward voltage drop of LED will be decreased in accordance with the increasing junction temperature of LED. Therefore the output should be controlled by CC mode in the normal state while CV mode only acts as over voltage protection.
Fig. 1. Circuit diagram of a flyback AC-DC converter
A voltage mode CRM PFC controller, FAN7530 is used as a control IC and the internal block diagram is shown in Figure 2. In the control circuit, the switching signal is generated by comparing the output of the error amplifier with the internal ramp signal. Consequently, the input voltage and current are unnecessary. The turn-on time of switch is fixed while the turn-off time is varied during the steady state. Therefore, the switching frequency inevitably varies in accordance with the input voltage variation as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 4 illustrates the theoretical waveforms of the primary side switch current, the secondary side diode current and gating signal. MOSFET, Q turns on and FRD, Do turns off under zero-current condition while Q turns off and Do turns on under the hard switching condition.
Fig. 4. Theoretical waveforms
In flyback converter, the transformer will be easily saturated because the transformer is only utilized within 1st quadrant. Moreover if it works under the critical conduction mode, the peak current is much higher than that of the continuous conduction mode. Therefore the air-gap should be inserted to prevent the saturation of the transformer. When a flyback converter is applied to the single stage AC-DC converter, the proper turn ratio, N2/N1, is very important because the maximum voltage rating of MOSFET and FRD strongly relates with the turn ratio of transformer. There is a trade off relationship between the drain to source voltage rating, Vdss, of MOSFET and the reverse voltage rating, VR of FRD according to the turn ratio of the transformer. The larger turn ratio requires the higher DC reverse voltage, VR of FRD while the drain-source voltage, Vdss, of MOSFET is decreased. In contrast, the lower turn ratio causes the higher voltage stress of MOSFET while VR of FRD is decreased.
Figure 5 shows the trade-off relationship between Vdss, of MOSFET and VR of FRD. From Po=ηVinIin, the maximum input current, Iin(max) = Po/ηVin. If the switching frequency, fs is much higher than the AC line frequency, fac, the input current can be assumed to be constant during a switching period.
Fig. 5. VDS and VR in accordance with turn ratio
In order to define the magnetizing inductance of transformer, the longest period has to be defined. The longest switching period occurs at the peak point of the input current when the minimum input voltage is applied. The maximum input current and the switching peak current is defined as follow;
Where, respectively.The transformer primary side voltage, VT is defined as follow;Therefore, the magnetizing inductance is obtained as follow;The voltage stress of MOSFET is

where Vsn is the maximum capacitor voltage of the snubber circuit, Vf (N1Vo/N2) is the flyback voltage and VLr is the ringing voltage at the leakage inductance of the transformer respectively. Normally VLr is estimated as 1.5 times of the flyback voltage. The maximum reverse voltage and the forward peak current of FRD arerespectively.
2.2 Snubber circuit design
In flyback converter, the resonant between Lleak and Coss occurs an excessively high voltage surge which causes the damage of MOSFET during the turn-off instant. This voltage surge has to be suppressed and the snubber circuit is therefore necessary to prevent MOSFET failures as shown in Figure 6.The clamping voltage by snubber is Fig. 6. Snubber circuit designThe maximum power dissipation of the snubber circuit is determined by and, the maximum power dissipation isWhere, vc=Vf +Vsn. Therefore, the resistance, Rsn is determined byThe maximum ripple voltage of snubber circuit is obtained as follow; The larger snubber capacitor results the lower voltage ripple, but the power dissipation will be increased. Consequently, selecting the proper value is important. In general, it is reasonable to determine that the snubber voltage is 1.5 times of the flyback voltage and the ripple voltage is 50V.
3. Experimental Results
To verify the validity of the proposed circuit, a prototype 75W experimental set-up has been built and tested.
The photograph of experimental set-up is shown in Figure 7. The electrical parameters are listed in Table 1. Figure 8 shows the experimental waveforms of VGS, VDS and Id at 110Vac input and at 220 Vac input respectively, which shows the switching current waveforms follow the sharp of the input voltage well. Figure 9 shows the input voltage and current at 110 Vac input and 220 Vac input conditions. The power factors at 110 Vac and 220 Vac condition are measured as 0.997 and 0.955 respectively.

To suppress the surge voltage of MOSFET caused by the resonant between Lleak and Coss, RCD snubber circuit is necessary. The snubber voltage is estimated as 1.5 times of the flyback voltage and the ripple voltage is estimates as 50V. The snubber resistor and capacitor are determined by following equations;
From the result, 3 × 2W 71kΩ resistors, 4.7nF/1kV capacitor and UF4005(UFRD) are finally chosen for the snubber circuit. Figure 10 shows the waveforms of the drain-source voltage and current when the AC input voltage is 265V, the maximum voltage. The voltage ripple is measured as 54V and the maximum voltage stress is 720V, which shows the actual results are approximately in accord with the calculation. However, the maximum voltage is 720V, 800V rating MOSFET is consequently needed for wide input voltage range. Figure 11 shows the waveforms of the output voltage and current for load variation. The output voltage ripple at 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% load condition is 1.76V, 1.37V, 0.94V and 0.49V respectively. The maximum ripple at 100% load condition is 3.67% of the normal output DC voltage and the 120Hz current ripple is observed. However, since the output current is continuous and the ripple frequency, 120Hz is sufficiently high, the flicker phenomenon is invisible to human eyes. The efficiency characteristics according to the load variation for the input voltages, 110 Vac, and 220 Vac conditions are plotted in Figure 12. The maximum efficiency is measured as 85.17% at the middle load condition in the case of 110Vac input and 85.95% at full-load condition in case of 220Vac input respectively. Figure 13 shows a CV and CC mode feedback circuit applied to the prototype single stage flyback converter experimental set-up for LED lighting. Since the forward voltage drop of LED decreases as the junction temperature increases, LED strings have to be driven by the constant current mode. Figure 14 shows the V-I characteristics of the prototype experimental set-up. From the result, it is clearly verified that the output is driven well by the constant current control for whole input voltage condition.

4. Conclusion
In this paper, a single stage flyback converter for the high power LED lighting applications is presented and its operation principal was analyzed. Even though the circuit has simple structure, it can achieve high power factor, over 0.95, for whole input voltage condition. To verify the validity of the single stage flyback converter for LED lighting, an experimental set-up was built. As a result, the maximum power factor is 99.7% and the maximum efficiency is 85.95% respectively.

LED Market Explosion Will be Hampered by Materials Shortage
Fast-growing market for high-brightness LEDs in LCD TVs will be restricted by a shortage of key semiconductor materials in the second half of 2010, according to a report.
The paper points out that demand has soared with the rapid penetration of LED backlighting modules in LCD TVs. This has also lead to a soaring demand for capital equipment, especially metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) reactors used to make gallium nitride (GaN) LEDs.
The similar trend is now evident in the supply of consumables, specifically the metal-organic material trimethylgallium(TMG) and sapphire wafers. The demand for TMG already exceeds the available supply, therefore manufacturers need to absorb a 20% price increase in the near term.
The paper also predicts that a shortage of sapphire wafers, upon which most blue and white LEDs are produced, is also likely in the second half of 2010. And Taiwan LED manufacturers in particular need to adjust to the new reality of the supply chain. Historically, they have bargained for the price of these key materials.
However, the balance of power in the LED industry has changed, with competitors backed by huge corporations, such as Samsung and LG, much better positioned to absorb higher material costs and to guarantee their supply in a constrained market.
Capacity expansions already in progress should relieve these constraints by mid-2011. Until then, the average selling price of high-brightness LEDs based on gallium nitride should hold up well, according to the predict.

Applied Materials to Enter MOCVD Market Soon
According to a report, Applied Materials plans to enter MOCVD market as a new MOCVD equipment supplier as the company responds to soaring demand from consumers and OEMs for LED backlit TVs.
Applied Materials may in fact be looking to produce an HPVE and MOCVD combined system. The company was awarded $3.9 million from the DOE through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to reduce the costs of LED manufacturing by improving manufacturing equipment and processes. A portion of this money, some estimate $2.4 million, will go towards producing a more cost effective MOCVD system for producing LED, and the final manufacturing is likely to be done in Singapore or Taiwan.

W. C. Heraeus introduces its Stamped Circuit Board technology
Thermal Management for IC/PCB/LED Lower cost heat removal Heraeus has entered the stage front-on with its Stamped Circuit Board technology – a fully comprehensive concept for thermal management.
Basically, it means that heat can be drawn away from beneath the chip far more quickly, reliably and cheaply. A series of tests at the Fraunhofer IZM confirm that the technology contains an enormous amount of potential. Stamped Circuit Board (SCB) technology combines structured layers of metal and plastic for use in substrate assemblies, e. g. of LEDs.
Similar to printed circuit boards, this layering may consist of fiberglass-reinforced epoxy resin and copper – however, the separate structuring of the two materials opens the way for totally new design concepts.
During the manufacturing process both the plastic and the metal are initially treated on separate reels and structured according to the specific requirements involved.
At the next stage, the materials undergo lamination after which they are left perfectly aligned to each other. Advantages of SCB technology Light flux, efficiency and durability of LEDs depend very much on the junction temperature of the actual LED itself. A rising component temperature has a negative effect on the service life and efficiency of the product, and therefore an intelligent form of thermal management is a matter of extreme importance. Acting as chip carrier, SCB technology makes a key contribution favouring the electrical and thermal properties.
In addition, the use of many different metals respectively alloys takes on a central role in regard to heat dissipation. SCB is fully based on a reel-to-reel concept (R2R) concept. This offers great possibilities to automate the production, which in turn leads to low manufacturing costs. Furthermore, in view of the large variety of materials and geometric variants new solutions arise with respect to thermal management.
User value:
a) Production process "reel-to-reel": high productivity due to level of automation, and subsequent low costs
b) Versatile stamping technology: the materials can be inflected and stamped and the resulting shape stabilizes the substrate and fixates the lenses. Stamped cooling ribs can also be produced, and contacting can be done at varying levels (= reduction of frame size).
c) Open choice of many different materials and thicknesses: in line with the application the most cost-optmized material can be selected.
d) Simpler operation: thanks to the R2R concept the manufacturing process is much easier to handle for the operator (as opposed to standard technologies).
e) Quicker separation: after being stamped, only very thin ribs of the material maintain the structures, and thus the parts can be readily separated/divided. Success confirmed by tests The Hanau materials and substrate expert does in fact possess enough in-house know-how to cover the entire spectrum of AVT production, but feedback from an independent outside source was sought to demonstrate just what can be achieved with SCB technology.
The Fraunhofer Institute IZM was invited to participate. The main topic of exploration was the heat transfer behavior of LED systems based on simultaneous stamping/laminating technology (SCB) in comparison to conventional technologies. The experts considered 3 substrate solutions for the HB module assembly: Printed Circuit Board, injected molding composite (over-molded stamped parts), and Stamped Circuit Board.
Following thermal analysis the substrates were scrutinized with close attention being paid to amongst other things, the structure, the overall materials, and the Thermal Interface Materials (TIM).
Additionally, factors influencing thermal management were examined, placing special emphasis on:
1. the LED chip itself (structure, dimensions, binning)
2. the LED chip mounting (type of connection: conductive adhesive, soldering, silver-sintering etc.)
3. the printed circuit board connection (dimensions)
4. the substrate (technology, materials and dimensions). In the final instance it was shown that SCB technology has a wealth of potential in regard to thermal management when compared to conventional technology.
Conclusion
The sophisticated thermal management provided by SCB technology leads to an increase in service life and efficiency. Moreover, tangible manufacturing characteristics are also in the main focus of this technology. The reel-to-reel process raises the degree of automation and increases productivity, thereby reducing costs. Because structuring is done separately it enables an optimization of material and design and an exploitation of the individual positive properties of each and every material! It all depends on whether it is more important to influence the overall thermal capacity (short-term applications) or influence the thermal spread (long-term applications). Through the sum of the positive properties the module retains a "cool head", costs sink and the light yield increases.

PowerSecure Files Shelf Registration Statements to Facilitate LED Lighting Business Investments and Provide Flexibility to Finance Future Growth Oppor
PowerSecure International, Inc. today announced it has fiLed shelf registration statements on Forms S-3 and S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Form S-3 registration statement was filed to facilitate the resale of up to 1,025,641 common shares of the Company's stock that were issued in conjunction with its purchase of the remaining one-third interest in its EfficientLights Led lighting business. The transaction to purchase the remaining minority interest in EfficientLights was completed on April 30, 2010. The Form S-4 registration statement was filed in conjunction with the Company's recently completed Innovative Electronic Solution Lighting ("IES") acquisition, to prepare for the potential issuance of common shares to facilitate the Company's option to purchase the remaining one-third minority interest of IES. Both the Form S-3 and S-4 registration statements also provide the Company with additional flexibility to issue registered equity securities to finance future growth opportunities.
The total amount of the equity securities covered by the shelf registration statements is $100 million, with $70 million to be registered under the Form S-3 registration statement, and $30 million to be registered under the Form S-4 registration statement. The Company does not have any immediate plans or commitments to sell securities under either registration statement beyond the 1,025,641 shares which were issued in conjunction with its recently completed EfficientLights transaction. The terms of any future offerings under these shelf registrations will be determined at the time of the offerings.
Sidney Hinton, CEO of PowerSecure, said, "We do not have plans to raise capital or issue registered stock beyond the resale of the stock we issued in the transaction to increase our ownership in our EfficientLights led lighting business to 100%, which is a highly accretive to our E.P.S. However, we filed the Form S-3 in an amount that provides us with the additional flexibility to finance future growth opportunities, and we filed the Form S-4 to provide us with the proactive ability to buy out the remaining one-third minority interest in IES if we choose to do so, as well as to give us the additional flexibility to finance future acquisitions."
Mr. Hinton continued, "We believe one of our Company's core strengths is our demonstrated ability to prudently manage and deploy capital to maximize shareholder value. We also believe there are significant opportunities to develop new business lines and technologies to add to our existing portfolio of products and services and fuel our future growth -- and the shelf registrations we filed today provide us with additional flexibility to invest in these opportunities. That said, we continue to remain committed to our strategy of organic growth, enhanced by prudent, complementary acquisitions. We also remain committed to our track record of discipline about the investments we choose to make, and their ability to enhance shareholder value."
If and when the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 is declared effective by the SEC, the Company may from time to time offer and sell up to $70 million of its common stock using various methods of distribution, which amount includes any resales under the Form S-3 by the former EfficientLights one-third minority interest owners of the 1,025,641 shares of common stock the Company issued in conjunction with the buyout transaction. The net proceeds of any such offerings by the Company would likely include financing acquisitions, capital investments (including capital for the Company's recurring revenue business model for Interactive Distributed Generation systems), supplementing the Company's working capital to support growth opportunities, and general corporate purposes. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares by the selling stockholders.
If and when the shelf registration statement on Form S-4 is declared effective by the SEC, the Company may from time to time offer and sell up to $30 million of its common stock in connection with acquisitions, including exchange offers and business combination transactions. This includes the potential acquisition of the remaining one-third minority interest in Innovative Electronic Solutions Lighting, LLC, the LED lighting development business in which the Company currently owns a two-thirds controlling interest. The Company does not expect to receive cash proceeds from the sale of common stock issued under the Form S-4.
Registration statements relating to these securities have been filed with the SEC, but have not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. The terms of any offering under either registration statement would be established at the time of the offering and as required would be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC prior to the completion of the offering. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of securities, in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of any such state.

The total amount of the equity securities covered by the shelf registration statements is $100 million, with $70 million to be registered under the Form S-3 registration statement, and $30 million to be registered under the Form S-4 registration statement. The Company does not have any immediate plans or commitments to sell securities under either registration statement beyond the 1,025,641 shares which were issued in conjunction with its recently completed EfficientLights transaction. The terms of any future offerings under these shelf registrations will be determined at the time of the offerings.
Sidney Hinton, CEO of PowerSecure, said, "We do not have plans to raise capital or issue registered stock beyond the resale of the stock we issued in the transaction to increase our ownership in our EfficientLights led lighting business to 100%, which is a highly accretive to our E.P.S. However, we filed the Form S-3 in an amount that provides us with the additional flexibility to finance future growth opportunities, and we filed the Form S-4 to provide us with the proactive ability to buy out the remaining one-third minority interest in IES if we choose to do so, as well as to give us the additional flexibility to finance future acquisitions."
Mr. Hinton continued, "We believe one of our Company's core strengths is our demonstrated ability to prudently manage and deploy capital to maximize shareholder value. We also believe there are significant opportunities to develop new business lines and technologies to add to our existing portfolio of products and services and fuel our future growth -- and the shelf registrations we filed today provide us with additional flexibility to invest in these opportunities. That said, we continue to remain committed to our strategy of organic growth, enhanced by prudent, complementary acquisitions. We also remain committed to our track record of discipline about the investments we choose to make, and their ability to enhance shareholder value."
If and when the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 is declared effective by the SEC, the Company may from time to time offer and sell up to $70 million of its common stock using various methods of distribution, which amount includes any resales under the Form S-3 by the former EfficientLights one-third minority interest owners of the 1,025,641 shares of common stock the Company issued in conjunction with the buyout transaction. The net proceeds of any such offerings by the Company would likely include financing acquisitions, capital investments (including capital for the Company's recurring revenue business model for Interactive Distributed Generation systems), supplementing the Company's working capital to support growth opportunities, and general corporate purposes. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares by the selling stockholders.
If and when the shelf registration statement on Form S-4 is declared effective by the SEC, the Company may from time to time offer and sell up to $30 million of its common stock in connection with acquisitions, including exchange offers and business combination transactions. This includes the potential acquisition of the remaining one-third minority interest in Innovative Electronic Solutions Lighting, LLC, the LED lighting development business in which the Company currently owns a two-thirds controlling interest. The Company does not expect to receive cash proceeds from the sale of common stock issued under the Form S-4.
Registration statements relating to these securities have been filed with the SEC, but have not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. The terms of any offering under either registration statement would be established at the time of the offering and as required would be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC prior to the completion of the offering. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of securities, in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of any such state. Any offering of the securities covered under the shelf registration statement will be made solely by means of a prospectus and an accompanying prospectus supplement relating to that offering.

Skyline Canada Adds New LED Lighting Options To Its Product Line Of Canadian Trade Show Exhibits
Trade show innovator, Skyline Exhibits, has expanded its line-up of exhibit Lighting in Canada. The new offerings include a variety of Led lighting options from simple one-color washes of light to multi-color light shows.
No matter what kind of budget an exhibitor has, lighting is a feature that can take a trade show booth to the next level. Exhibitors can get the best bang for their buck for trade show exhibits in Canada by adding a 'pop' of color to the booth.
The new line-up of exhibit lighting in Canada that Skyline offers includes ColorDASH Par, ColorDASH Pattern and ColorPalette. ColorDASH Par is essentially a spotlight that focuses on a logo or message to highlight it in brilliant color. ColorDASH Pattern is able to illuminate a large area with a vibrant color to bring the entire exhibit to life. Finally, ColorPalette is a lower cost option that is an led floodlight designed with a large number of low wattage Led's that gently illuminates a large area.
All three lighting options are able to be linked together to create advanced light shows. Skyline offers the Obey10 Controller that is capable of individual control of up to 8 lights. With 16.7 million intense colors, exhibitors can change led lights to create any color palette needed. Skyline Canada also offers cabling and mounting brackets to connect lights, and all lights come with a master/slave control option so that they can be used independently or with a multiple light controller.
"Since lighting colors can easily be changed, LED lighting is an excellent option to makeover a trade show exhibit booth without any actual alterations to the booth. Our three new lighting options offer cutting edge lighting solutions to any Canadian trade show exhibits," says Dave Bouquet, Area Sales Director for Skyline Canada (http://www.skyline.ca/).
LED lighting offers a lifespan of 50,000 hours, which translates into more than 17 years at eight hours per day. Since LEDs are solid-state electronics, there are no actual bulbs to burn out. Skyline Canada's LED lighting includes a two-year warranty that stands behind the high quality product, with the confidence that customers have come to expect from Skyline Exhibits.

Kolkata unveils LightSavers project for LED lighting
Over 270 outdoor Led luminaires will be installed in Kolkata, India, in order to evaulate their performance as part of the global LightSavers program.
Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya, Mayor of KMC
Under the mentorship of The Climate Group’s Global LightSavers initiative, the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), India, has unveiled an extensive LED pilot project. This will involve an initial installation of 273 LED luminaires from Lumec, a Canadian company that is now part of Philips.
The project will evaluate the performance of LED luminaries with respect to illuminance, uniformity, color temperature, durability, longevity, and color shift over 2-3 years.
Aditi Dass of The Climate Group
The project involves 123 Philips Lumec 130W RoadStar LED luminaires to replace 250W HPS luminaires, and 150 RoadStar 180W luminaires to replace 400W HPS luminaires. Philips has demonstrated the LED replacement luminaires through advance modeling to meet Indian Roadway Lighting Standard IS 1994.
The LED luminaires will be installed on 8 different streets in Kolkata, with road widths between 20 and 25 feet, a 25- to 30-meter spacing between poles, and a mounting height of 7 meters.
In launching the pilot, Kolkata is teaming up with 10 other cities around the world including New York, London, Toronto, and Tianjin, China, which are all participating in the first phase of The Climate Group’s LightSavers program.
Philips Lumec RoadStar - on
A further LightSavers pilot will be launched shortly in Hong Kong – with trial sites set to be unveiled at The Hong Kong University of Science and at Hong Kong International Airport.
LightSavers is funded by the HSBC Climate Partnership, which supports The Climate Group's pioneering work to create cleaner, greener, more prosperous cities. These global LED testing projects will provide data, independent from manufacturers, to demonstrate the performance of LEDs, which will help develop a framework for considering wider use of the technology.
“We have been trying to change for some time now and attitudes take a long time to change,” said Mr Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya, Mayor of KMC, adding “This pilot will go a long way in inculcating energy conservation efforts in the rapidly growing city.”
Philips Lumec RoadStar - off
The Climate Group’s Aditi Dass said: “This groundbreaking LED trial holds huge potential for Kolkata, and puts them among a group of global cities that are leading the world in the demonstration of this key technology. Not only do LEDs have the potential to substantially cut emissions and reduce costs, but they can also bring with them a range of other important benefits that will make Kolkata more liveable, improving people’s lives. We are delighted to be working with The Kolkata Municipal Corporation and our other forward thinking partners on this exciting project.”
Pilot projects internationally have so far shown a reduction of 40-50 per cent in electricity use when LEDs replace HPS lamps, and savings of up to 70 per cent when LEDs are used with smart controls. The project is being carried out in joint collaboration with the Government of India’s Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), the West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (WBSEDCL), and the West Bengal Pollution Control Board (WBPCB), with overall facilitation by The Climate Group (www.theclimategroup.org).
“Kolkata has always been at the forefront in adopting the latest global trends, especially in the provision of services to the public at large.” said Mr. Sushil Kumar Sharma, Member, Mayor-in-Council, Lighting and Electricity, KMC, adding, “I am confident this pilot, in promoting energy-efficient led street lighting, will be a beacon to guide green practices for times to come.”

Cree Brings the LED Lighting Revolution to Lightfair 2010
Cree, Inc., a market leader in Led lighting, will be showcasing its Lighting fixtures, lamps and components in Booth 149 during the Lightfair 2010 show held May 12 to 14 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
In addition to exhibiting its industry-leading Cree TrueWhite? Technology-based led downlights, including the new high-output, deeply recessed LR6-DR1000, Cree is also debuting its newest led lamp, the LBR30?. Cree will be demonstrating its new LRP-38-1000L which delivers 1000 lumens of directional light, and its newest high-efficiency troffer replacement, the LR24HE, which delivers more than 100 lumens per Watt fixture efficacy. More efficient than fluorescent troffers, the LR24HE has a CRI of 90 and is designed to last 50,000 hours.
Cree will also be demonstrating its line of lighting-class Led components, including the newest XLamp? XM LED platform. Cree’s first LED module, the LMR4, will be shown in the Cree booth. Luminaires incorporating the LMR4 will also be on display in the following booths: Con-Tech, booth 348; dmf LIGHTING, booth 277; Intense Lighting, booth 727; and LITON Lighting, booth 1321.
The XM LED. This new single chip LED delivers record-breaking efficacy of 160 lumens per watt at 350 mA. The LED also delivers 750 lumens at 2 A, which is equivalent to the light output of a 60 W incandescent light bulb at less than 7 watts.
“This new platform continues Cree’s well-established record of turning R&D innovations into products,” said Chuck Swoboda, Cree chairman and CEO. “We continue to set the pace for LED performance, establishing new benchmarks that make you wonder why anyone would consider last-century’s energy-wasting technology.”
A cool white XM LED driven at 350 mA can produce 160 lumens at 160 lumens per watt. The new platform has a larger footprint than Cree’s XP family and also offers the unique combination of very high efficacy at very high drive currents. At 2 A, an XM LED produces 750 lumens at 110 lumens per watt. The thermal resistance of the XM platform is 2 degrees C per watt— an industry-leading technology breakthrough and a 350 percent improvement over Cree’s flagship XLamp XP-E LED.
Samples of the XLamp XM LEDs are available for order with standard lead times and commercial availability is targeted for Fall 2010.

Cree will also be demonstrating its line of lighting-class Led components, including the newest XLamp? XM LED platform. Cree’s first LED module, the LMR4, will be shown in the Cree booth. Luminaires incorporating the LMR4 will also be on display in the following booths: Con-Tech, booth 348; dmf LIGHTING, booth 277; Intense Lighting, booth 727; and LITON Lighting, booth 1321.
The XM LED. This new single chip LED delivers record-breaking efficacy of 160 lumens per watt at 350 mA. The LED also delivers 750 lumens at 2 A, which is equivalent to the light output of a 60 W incandescent light bulb at less than 7 watts.
“This new platform continues Cree’s well-established record of turning R&D innovations into products,” said Chuck Swoboda, Cree chairman and CEO. “We continue to set the pace for LED performance, establishing new benchmarks that make you wonder why anyone would consider last-century’s energy-wasting technology.”
A cool white XM LED driven at 350 mA can produce 160 lumens at 160 lumens per watt. The new platform has a larger footprint than Cree’s XP family and also offers the unique combination of very high efficacy at very high drive currents. At 2 A, an XM LED produces 750 lumens at 110 lumens per watt. The thermal resistance of the XM platform is 2 degrees C per watt— an industry-leading technology breakthrough and a 350 percent improvement over Cree’s flagship XLamp XP-E LED.
Samples of the XLamp XM LEDs are available for order with standard lead times and commercial availability is targeted for Fall 2010.

Lighting modules integrate LEDs, drivers, optics, and heat sinks
Cree recently announced a line of Lighting modules that combines the company's TrueWhite Leds with driver electronics, optics, and primary-thermal-management components. The first product in the new line, the LMR4 LED module, consumes 12W, delivers 700 lumens at a warm-white color temperature of 2700K with a CRI (color-rendering index) of 90, and has a minimum lifetime of 35,000 hours. All a fixture manufacturer needs to do is drop in an optional heat sink to accommodate high-temperature applications, such as down lights for insulated ceilings, and then design the external fixture package. The result is a low-power, long-life solid-state-lighting luminaire. Cree offers an evaluation kit, including two luminaires and two dimmers, for $199.
How does this product compare with the modular-lighting system that Bridgelux recently announced (see "Modular LED-light system targets new installations," EDN, April 22, 2010, pg 14)? First, Bridgelux and Cree LEDs offer different light characteristics. Bridgelux's system focuses on making led lights interchangeable: The hard-mounted connector makes it easy to swap out the LED module when an end user wants a change in light color or beam pattern. Most important, though, the Bridgelux product lacks power-management electronics, whereas Cree's module does not.

LED lighting drivers set to boost efficiency
Efficiency is set to be enhanced in a number of illumination applications thanks to the development of new Led lighting drivers from Diodes Incorporated, Electronics Talk reports.
Only an indicator is needed for high-efficiency illumination, with the ZXLD381 and ZXLD383 drivers ensuring strong brightness from a single solar or rechargeable battery cell.
Efficiency is said to be as high as 93 per cent, while battery life will also be extended in any applications benefiting from the led drivers.
The publication adds: "Operating from an input voltage as low as 0.9V and delivering up to 80mA, they generate a constant current for driving single or multiple Leds, determined by the external inductor value."
Meanwhile, a dual function enable input is an additional feature of the ZXLD383, making it more suitable for use in appliances including walkway and solar-powered garden lamps.
A Pepsi factory in Russia is currently profiting from a revamp of its facilities, which included the use of led lighting in streets, roads, warehouses and courtyards at the complex.
Rapid Electronics is a leading UK supplier of educational products, electrical products and teaching resources to the primary, secondary and higher education sector.

LED lighting with sensor
The new street light is powered by a single CSM-360 PhlatLight Led in combination with Almeco’s novel reflector optic. The result is an aesthetically appealing single-source LED fixture that looks more like an HID-based street light than the typical pixelated LED fixtures that dominate the current landscape.
With an emitting area 36 times greater than a 1-watt LED, a single PhlatLight CSM-360 LED can reduce design complexity, reduce cost and increase fixture reliability. Instead of using arrays of LEDs and optics, the single-source street fixture requires only a single optic. Additional cost savings can be realized from the fact that the CSM-360 is a chip-on-board LED, which doesn’t require an expensive metal core PCB typically used with LED arrays.
Almeco’s breakthrough low glare Vega LED98 reflector design incorporating material with the highest values of reflectivity across the visible wavelength spectrum can take the light from the CSM-360 and distribute it onto the street in accordance with industry standards. With a reflectivity of greater than 98 percent, the LED98 reflector optimizes the overall fixture efficiency.
“We are excited by the synergies between Luminus and Almeco, and see the single-source street light concept as an indicator of what is possible in accelerating the adoption of LED technology in the marketplace,” said Keith T. S. Ward, president and CEO, Luminus Devices. “Beyond product aesthetics and cost savings, the single-source solution increases overall fixture reliability by drastically reducing the number of points of failure. It is a perfect lamp replacement option with a large emitting light source, virtually no glare and has a life expectancy of 60,000 hours, reducing the total cost of ownership for our user partners. Almeco is assisting Luminus’ expansion in more outdoor applications with our innovative big chip LEDs.”
“We believe strongly that the partnership with Luminus gives us an ideal opportunity to integrate their big chip LEDs with our reflectors to create the world’s most innovative street light,” said Onorato Fiorentini, CEO, Almeco Group. “Our enhanced selective surface for light sources, particularly for LED optics, enables our development team to work closely with Luminus to generate highly efficient, cost effective street lights for any municipality around the world.”
The Luminus/Almeco street light concept fixture can be seen in Luminus’ booth #979 at LightFair, May 12-14, in the Las Vegas Convention Center. The CSM-360 LED that powers the street light has an energy efficiency in excess of 100 lumens/watt, color temperatures ranging from 3,000K-6,500K and L70 lumen maintenance of 60,000 hours.

Home Depot Now Selling $20 LED Lightbulbs
Just one month after Cree and General Electric reveaLed similar products, Lightning Science said Monday that Home Depot will begin offering an LED bulb that will achieve 50-percent more lumens at half the price of competing LED-based bulbs. Called the A19 EcoSmart LED, the company developed the 9-watt light bulb exclusively for Home Depot, and is now on sale for a meager $20 USD. That's significantly cheaper than GE's just-announced $40-$50 USD 450 lumen LED bulb.
So is this better than a conventional light bulb? Certainly. It uses approximately 80-percent less energy than a traditional 40 watt incandescent light bulb. It also has an expected life span of more than 22 years, based on 50,000 hours of usage. The A19 EcoSmart LED bulb is also manufactured in the USA, contains no mercury, and is completely recyclable.
"The EcoSmart led light bulb represents a huge cost savings to the consumer, both in terms of the reduced use of electricity coupled with savings on replacement costs versus traditional bulbs, " said Jorge Fernandez, Merchant-Electrical, The Home Depot.
Last month GE said that its new 9-watt LED light bulb replaces the standard 40-watt incandescent, providing a 77-percent energy savings and a lifespan that could last from birth to high school graduation (17 years if used for four hours daily). GE's LED light bulb also contains no mercury, and is made with Cree XLamp XP-G LEDs.

Byrne Electrical in Rockford acquires LED lighting company, plans 10 new jobs
Byrne Electrical Specialists, Inc. enters the energy efficiency market in a big way with its recent acquisition of XUS Corporation, an innovator in municipal Led lighting solutions. Byrne has moved all manufacturing from XUS' Holland facility to Rockford and will create some 10 new jobs ranging from production team leaders to thermodynamics and optical assemblies engineers.
Byrne Electrical Specialists provides power and data technology primarily to the furniture industry. Furniture makers embed the technology in desk tops, conference tables and other furniture items for the office market, says Mike Lomonaco, communications manager. The company's 200 employees operate two manufacturing facilities in Rockford. The company also has operations in Mexico and China, and owns Byrne Tool & Die, also in Rockford.
"Our initial focus is tooling and manufacturing of municipal luminaires for roadways," says Rusty McBride, director of business development. "The city of Grand Rapids and city of Traverse City are already onboard with prototypes of XUS Roadway instalLed by XUS in both cities. What makes the product so unique is that it has passive and active cooling systems."
McBride says the key to the success of LED, or solid state, Lighting is the ability to keep the product from overheating; the cooler it operates, the longer it lasts. McBride says one XUS Roadway LED operates at 155 watts and lasts a minimum of 50,000 hours, whereas normal street lights operate at 250 watts and last about 30,000 hours.
Byrne Electronics has prototyped and tested another four LED products and is nearly ready to begin production, McBride says. Those products are aimed at the parking garage, industrial low bay, farming and flood lighting markets.
"This is the direction lighting is going," Lomonaco says. "We're looking to partner with municipalities and some of the universities to light downtowns and outdoor walkways. We're not just looking in North America for opportunities, we're looking globally."
