Plessey shortlisted for Elektra Award in Solid-State Lighting Application category


UK-based Plessey Semiconductors Ltd has been shortlisted for its new MAGIC (MAnufactured on GaN ICs) High Brightness LED (HBLED) products in the Elektra Awards 2012 Solid-State Lighting Application Category. The winners will be announced on 12 December 2012 at the European Electronics Industry Awards ceremony in London.Barry Dennington, Plessey's COO,This lighting design and Led stage lighting design actually have something in common. LED lighting in front of the battery charger from the clothing, the clothing positive light irradiation may be a bright feeling, so will be able to show the color and detail of the whole garment. But its drawback is less three-dimensional and visual texture, and are generally used for the lighting of the shelves in the stores. said, "We believe that MAGIC technology will enable us to drive the adoption of low power LED lighting forwards at a much greater pace as it enables HBLEDs to be manufactured in high volume using industry standard, silicon foundries at a much lower cost than current LED technologies based on sapphire or silicon carbide.Now, Battery Box, the researchers are involved in searching never-ending power sources for resolving such issues.Solar power is the best way of producing Solar lamp for all. This is the reason that solar power is getting special attention in all over the globe such as Indian. Akshar Enterprise is a leader in providing & supplying of excellent quality solar power equipments."
Plessey’s MAGIC HB-LED products will be made in a high volume, semiconductor production facility on standard silicon substrates, rather than on sapphire or silicon carbide. The firm’s technology uses gallium nitride (GaN) on 6-inch silicon substrates, which will be manufactured at its Plymouth facility. It uses a much thinner GaN layer at only 2.5μm compared to 6 to 8μm in other GaN on Si technologies. This means less deposition time, so that the firm can do multiple production cycles in 24 hours to achieve higher throughputs and lower costs.For its next generation of products, Plessey intends to integrate its MAGIC HBLED products with its EPIC sensor technology to provide smart lighting solutions.The firm has also been shortlisted in the Electronics Product Category of the British Engineering Excellence Awards 2012, for its MAGIC High Brightness LED (HB-LED) products. The winners will be announced on Thursday 25 October 2012.
3M makes more than 55,000 products, most of them intentionally unsexy--Scotch tape, dental-care goods, car wax. "But we wanted to flex the muscles at 3M," says designer Todd Bracher, who teamed up with the company's newly launched division, 3M Architectural Markets. "So we looked at the capabilities of their applied sciences and created a new, revolutionary lighting system." Called Lightfalls, the bulbs could look at home in a nightclub or art gallery. (It lands in commercial spaces in January.) To create them, Bracher took a 3M-made, highly reflective optical film and applied it to curved, double elbow-shaped reflectors. For every seven reflectors, one is backlit by an LED, and 98% of the light travels from reflector to reflector, creating a waterfall of light and giving each bulb the illuminative power of seven. That means a 400-square-foot-wall-size system of 97 reflectors uses less energy than a hair dryer--though, no, 3M isn't making hair dryers. Yet.
