The Retrofit Revolution
"We see a growing momentum toward responsible energy usage--we like to call it the 'Retrofit Revolution,'" said LED-LLC CEO, Tim Taylor. "When you look at true ROI, upfront costs for LED fixtures are easily displaced by savings in long term expense, and our customers understand that. The linear series offers a nice complement to the rest of our product line."

Greener Lighting Solutions
All of LED-LLC's LED fixtures offer a green solution for new installations, and an environmentally responsible replacement for existing fluorescents. LEDs last longer, burn cooler, and deliver savings on labor, as well as energy, over time This makes a cost effective solution for any 24/7 application, and especially industrial and commercial installations that pay high prices for labor to replace bulbs that burn out frequently and leave bad impressions when not replaced in a timely manner.

Light Emitting Designs (www.led-llc.com), an innovator in LED lighting solutions for the commercial/industrial market, announces three new series of 12v LED linear fixtures now shipping through electrical distribution.

The R, S and SC series from LED-LLC include the three key features savvy lighting specialists now expect:

Decorative Light Strings for Beauty and Energy Savings

|

If all decorative light strings sold in America this year were ENERGY STAR qualified, we would save over 2 billion kWh per year and reduce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to nearly 300,000 cars!

ENERGY STAR qualified decorative light strings — many which feature LED technology — consume 75% less energy than conventional incandescent lights strands.

Decorative Light Strings


ENERGY STAR Qualified Decorative Light Strings:

  • Can last up to 10 times longer than traditional incandescent strands.
  • Are cool to the touch, reducing the risk of fire.
  • Do not have moving parts, filaments or glass, so they are much more durable and shock-resistant than other light strings.
  • Are available in a variety of colors, shapes and lengths.
  • Come with a three-year warranty, meaning fewer light string replacements.
  • Are independently tested to meet strict lifetime and electrical requirements.
  • Products labeled for outdoor use are subjected to weathering tests.
  • Some models deliver features such as dimming or color shifting.
When you start shopping or installing your Christmas or Hoiday lighting this year...think ENERGY savings... think

ENERGY STAR rated LED decorative light strings!  You'll save at the same time you brighting your neighborhood!

 
The California Department of Transportation has been involved with the development of LED traffic signal modules for more than a decade. The recent energy crisis played a key role in speeding up the statewide conversion from incandescent lights to LEDs.

The Institute of Transportation Engineer's Future Directions Advisory Committee (FDAC) was appointed to identify and consider the trends and issues facing the Institute and the transportation profession. The FDAC gathered and reviewed information on transportation issues and identified trends:

  • continuing increase in demand for transportation;
    • Population increases and urbanization increase traffic flows
  • traffic congestion;
    • Progarmmable controllers and LED lights can improve communications and monitor/measure and adapt to traffic congestion
  • transportation programs to help meet air quality and energy goals;
    • Think saving energy, reducing greenhouse gases and reducing wasted mileage on the streets
  • greater mix of revenue sources for transportation;
    • Think BLUE LEDs on traffic signals to identify traffic violations!
  • federal government setting the direction for transportation programs;
    • Think funding...and ubiquitious traffic communications for tourism and travelers
  • operations and demand management taking precedence over increasing capacity;
    • Less is better...especially vehicles on the road.  Less oil consumption, less congestion, less accidents, less infrastructure costs...
  • intelligent vehicle highway systems
    • Programmable systems adapt to changing conditions and can even be predictive and take immediate steps to reroute traffic, etc.

Gallium nitride (GaN) HEMT transistors by Cree are designed for use in WiMAX applications covering the 4.9 to 5.8GHz frequency band.

The new transistors, CGH55015F and CGH55030F, are the first released GaN HEMT WiMAX products specified to operate at up to 5.8 GHz, a performance level that further demonstrates Cree’s leadership in GaN technology.

Significant potential benefits offered by the new 15-watt and 30-watt devices include:

* A four-fold increase in efficiency compared with similar power level GaAs MESFET devices
* Elevated frequency operation compared with commercially available silicon LDMOS
* Operational capability in the license-exempt 5.8 GHz ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) band as well as 5.3-GHz and 5.47-GHz U-NII (Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure) bands
* Superior linearity of better than 2.5% EVM at average power under a WiMAX signal at 25% drain efficiency covering an instantaneous bandwidth of 5.5 to 5.8 GHz.

Both transistors are available with “reference design” amplifier platforms.

As business and residential customers continue to demand increased capacity and functionality for wireless networks, these transistors can enable efficient power amplifiers in small base-station formats (access points) for last-mile service utilizing WiMAX-based architectures. Such outdoor units can allow Internet service providers to maximize their ROI on spectrum due to the ability to offer tiered services (enabled by improved quality of service and wider channel bandwidths) to hundreds of broadband users from a single access point.

“The CGH55015F and CGH55030F are two great examples of new GaN transistors Cree developed to support the higher operational frequency and stringent efficiency and linearity requirements needed to enable next-generation WiMAX base stations and access points,” said Jim Milligan, Cree’s director of RF and microwave products. “These 5-GHz transistors complement the CGH35060 product that we are also releasing now to round out our 3.5-GHz GaN HEMT WiMAX product line. This 60-watt product is a direct result of customer feedback and offers customers greater flexibility for 3.5-GHz WiMAX applications, particularly in Europe where remote radio heads (RRHs) are increasingly being used.”
