The opportunities presented by
the increasing rapid adoption of high brightness LEDs, in all their forms and
applications, represents nothing short of a "digital revolution" for
a previously "analog" world. LEDs are having a substantial disruptive
effect on a number of established technologies, and where there is disruption,
there is an intense need for information.
LIGHTimes Online is here
to serve the information needs of the LED industry supply chain, as well as
integrators and non-architectural application solution providers with technology,
product and market news updates for these rapidly evolving devices. Our readership
also includes LED packagers, technology enablers and service companies seeking
the the answers to how best to meet their customers' needs.
For architectural lighting
and applications news of interest specifically to lighting designers, specifiers,
and architectural lighting decision makers, along with luminaire designers,
lighting system integrators and lighting subsystem developers, please visit

Summit 2008:
What we learned
The feedback is in, and the consensus was: Just
what we needed, do it again (Soon!). In case you missed the Solid
State Lighting Design Summit 2008 in Weehawken, New Jersey, be sure to take
a look at the final
agenda for what went down in the first-of-its-kind event. The Summit brought
together industry thought leaders, pioneers, leading designers, lighting decision-makers
and innovators from the across the solid state lighting eco-system. Read

Philips Lumileds Announces Brighter, More Stable Amber LEDs Using Phosphor
... Philips Lumileds has made available its new phosphor coated (PC) Amber LEDs, a new member of their Luxeon Rebel series. The company boasts that the new PC Amber LEDs have 2 to 5-times as much light output as typical amber LEDs. Additionally, the company contends that they have dramatically less color shift compared to conventional amber LEDs. A PC Amber LED apparently uses either a blue or UV LED and a specialized phosphor mixture to emit amber light. The company says that the Luxeon Rebel PC Amber delivers typical flux of 70 lumens at 350mA. The company contends that...
The
2009 SSLdesign Summit Series is now live!
The
August 2008 New York event drew top-level attendees to the first-ever
public event designed to link lighting decision makers to luminaire,
module and enabling technology suppliers. For 2009, you can expect
us to again deliver on the highest quality agenda and attendees in
this unsurpassed networking environment, as we expand the Summit to
"take it to the decision makers" in New York, Los Angeles
and Taiwan. See what you need to be part of at

Brooklyn Bridge project frames thoughts on ways to eliminate over-lighting
... Most public, and many commercial lighting projects are typically over-lit by about 30-60% to account for the future depreciation of the lighting sources due to lamp aging, lamp failures, and environmental factors (dirt, dust and such). While the lighting and transportation engineers usually have time-proven answers to how much light is comfortable, or which creates a safer roadway environment, there probably hasn't been much of a discussion about the drawbacks of over-lighting the site, since up until LED lighting's...
