The Songshan Tabacco Factory, situated in Taipei City for almost 80 years, was built during the period of Japanese occupation in Taiwan to produce and process tobacco in order to provide a better income for the Japanese government. It stopped its tobacco industry in 1998 and was nominated as a municipal historical site in 2001. In recent years, the Factory has been transformed into a park for cultural, art and creative activities. Alliance Optotek Corporation (AOP) was commissioned to give it a new face by illuminating it in a culturally creative way.

Located in the center of Taipei City, the Shongshan Tobacco Factory is built with a spacious hinterland. The well preserved complex courtyards illustrate the architectural style and excellent craftsmanship dating back to 1937. With the prosperous increase of Taiwan’s cultural and creative industry in recent years, a great number of designers and artists are eagerly seeking for a foundation to present their creativity to the public. The conversion of the historical Songshan Tobacco Factoryinto the Songshan Cultural Park now provides a perfect platform for cultural exhibitions and events.

There is only one new building in the park– Eslite Songshan Tobacco Factory Store which started operation in July, 2013. It offers a brand new comfortable commercial space for both domestic and offshore renowned designer brands to reside, becomeing a new landmark building for Taiwan’s cultural and creative industry. The new building is designed by an internationally renowned architect, Toyo Ito. The central designing concept lies in the green balcony which retracts upwards layer by layer. This balcony offers a function of overlooking the surrounding environment of Songshan Tobacco Factory relics, patio and lily ponds. It creates new interactions between the new and old buildings. When it comes to exterior lighting design, it is necessary to figure out some ways that can highlight the features of the building without disturbing the tranquil atmosphere.

AOP is responsible for this project. The company provides luminaires and corresponding control system while the lighting designers choose HP Linear light with a fixed color temperature (4000K) for the façade. IP68 dustproof and waterproof lighting fixtures are installed on observation windows on each floor to wash the façade of the building and present a steady and peaceful look at night. At the same time, such lighting also emphasizes the specific style of the building. For the grid structure on each side, SDC controllers and HP projection lamps of both high and low color temperatures (6000K/3000K) are used to create a dynamic and static performance. These interesting changes between light and shadow present a more vigorous aspect to the building.

The biggest challenge of this project is to satisfy lighting designers’ demand and insistence on light quality, control system, color temperature and so forth. The lighting plan for such a large and continuous scale actually imposes extremely high requirement on product stability and consistency for every single lamp. Alliance Optotek Corporation has already accumulated a relatively solid foundation for this which is the reason why owner of the project selected Alliance Optotek Corporation’s products.

Plessey releases PLW114050 - a brighter new generation of GaN-on-Si mid-power LED

Plessey has announced the PLW114050 mid-power LED family with emitters available over the CCT range from 2700K to 6500K. The new products hit efficacy levels as high as 64 lm/W essentially doubling the performance of Plessey’s first gallium-nitride-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si) LEDs shipped in...

The UK-based semiconductor company says that it has doubled efficacy since shipping its first GaN-on-Si LEDs back in April, and that its roadmap includes eclipsing the efficacy advantage currently held by sapphire-based LEDs.

Plessey has announced the PLW114050 mid-power LED family with emitters available over the CCT range from 2700K to 6500K. The new products hit efficacy levels as high as 64 lm/W essentially doubling the performance of Plessey’s first gallium-nitride-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si) LEDs shipped in April of this year, and moving the LEDs close to service in general solid-state lighting (SSL) applications.

Plessey-introduce-PLW114050

The new LEDs are part of Plessey’s Magic (Manufactured on GaN-on-Si I/C) portfolio. The company insists that manufacturing LEDs on low-cost, 6-in. Si wafers using depreciated and automated silicon IC fabrication facilities for the back end of the production process will yield lower LED prices. “Our Magic LED products have a cost advantage over comparable sapphire-based LEDs as we use 6-in., high yield, standard, automated silicon manufacturing technology,” said Plessey CTO Keith Strickland.

Still, Plessey has yet to produce an LED with competitive performance specifications. Back at the April 2013 launch of the first-generation LEDs, efficacy topped out at 36 lm/W and maximum flux output was 3 lm. Subsequently, the company launched blue-pump LEDs for remote-phosphor applications in July with increased performance, but those aren’t directly comparable because Plessey didn’t announce a phosphor-converted white LED at the time.

The new white LEDs deliver flux ranging from 7.9–12.3 lm when driven at 60 mA. The typical forward voltage is 3.2V, which yields efficacy ranging from 41–64 lm/W. While doubling performance in just over six months is impressive, the products trail sapphire-based mid-power LEDs significantly. For example, Seoul Semiconductor announced slightly-larger mid-power LEDs back in July that can hit 180 lm/W at 60 mA.

Plessey, however, claims that it will continue to ramp performance and soon match sapphire LEDs. “We have a roadmap that puts Magic ahead of the efficacies achieved by sapphire-based LEDs and, thereby, sets a new milestone in terms of lumen per dollar performance,” said Strickland. “By approaching efficacy parity, we are accelerating the widespread adoption of GaN-on-Si LED-based lighting products.”

For now, the Plessey LEDs will be applicable primarily to decorative lighting, instrument panel backlighting, and signaling. But should Plessey double performance again inside eight months, and ship the products in volume, the SSL world will start to take notice.

The brand is currently being used by large corporations and organisations like AIA and the Pavilion Shopping Center in Kuala Lumpur. Apart from that, Rishang LED products are used in retail and convenience stores like 7-Eleven and many others.

Rishang Malaysia will be offering a wide range of LED bulbs in Malaysia which can be used in all types of environments. This product is highly energy-efficient and cost-effective which can be used for lighting, illumination, decoration and any other purposes required. The LED bulbs can be used for spotlights, wall-washers and in display cabinets as well as for customized purposes like garden and outdoor lighting in which the bulbs can be mounted into waterproof enclosures to withstand any type of extreme weather conditions.

Another popular product that business owners can consider through the launch is to replace the current fluorescent lights with Rishang Malaysia’s T5 and T8 LED tubes. These tubes are among the most commonly used and installed in many spaces where the dimension and length are identical. With minor adjustments, business operators can now enjoy up to 50% in electricity savings per month which would be highly advantageous in the long term.

Customers of Rishang Malaysia will enjoy technical support and customer service in terms of installation and on design. Pricing of the products are very competitive and based on the current market rate where bulk purchases will enjoy additional discounts. All Rishang LED products come with 5-years warranty with 1-to-1 exchange against manufacturer’s defects with no questions asked.

Solid Apollo LED Introduces Color Pro RGB + White LED Strip - RGB-W Strip

North Seattle LED Light Manufacturer Solid Apollo LED has introduced its Color Pro + White LED Strip, which combines the benefits of having a full set of Color-Changing LEDs on the same LED ribbon as a full set of warm white or daylight white LEDs.

Solid Apollo LED Introduces Color Pro RGB + White LED Strip, a New Type of LED Strip Light, Which Combines RGB Color-Changing LEDs with Beautiful White Light in One Bright Lighting Fixture

North Seattle LED Light Manufacturer Solid Apollo LED has introduced its Color Pro + White LED Strip, which combines the benefits of having a full set of Color-Changing LEDs on the same LED ribbon as a full set of warm white or daylight white LEDs.

There are many applications including restaurant lighting, high-end retail lighting, and hospitality lighting where color-changing RGB LED and white LED light can be used to create unique lighting environments. However, in home and business lighting many retailers, designers and contractors have had to compromise between clear white light and the option of bright, changing color. If both were used it meant separate, expensive lighting fixtures with at least two controllers. Now, users can easily control colors and white light with Solid Apollo’s Color Pro RGB + White LED Strip, which are two lighting fixtures in one easy-to-use product!

Available in RGB with Warm White (3000K) and RGB with Daylight White (4500K), the ColorPro series of LED Strip combines two high brightness strips into one ¾” segment, and is still cuttable every 4.75” inches, meaning custom lighting projects and art pieces are still possible while having more color options than ever. Bright pastels, subtle warm colors, and new tints are available alongside traditional whites and RGB colors.

Rather than having alternating color and white LED light, Solid Apollo combined two full LED strips into one lighting fixture, meaning a new array of colors and lighting flexibility without compromising half of the LEDs on the strip. This means anywhere bright linear lighting is needed, users can now create a bright white light, as well as vivid colors at a high level of brightness, providing light to a variety of areas including cove and undercabinet lighting.

“This product is the ultimate lighting tool for unique venues, art projects, nightlife events, colorful displays, and creating custom colors not previously available with LED lighting” stated Manuel Barquin, President at Solid Apollo LED.

For those looking to get the most out of RGB-W Strip, the ColorPro RGB-W strip from Solid Apollo is perfectly combined with their 10-Zone LED Controller and the In-Wall RGB-W DMX Controller, both of which have dedicated white channel functionality. This means users can separately control white and RGB LED channels on their strip for fine tuning hues, for mood lighting and the brightness of each channel for colorful displays to light up retail displays, nightlife events, bars and pubs.

The ColorPro is perfect for home theaters, beautiful under cabinet lighting, dens, restaurants, and anywhere a variety of custom colors and white light are needed at different times. Solid Apollo, an innovator in LED custom lighting solutions, has created the perfect combination of color-changing LED light with a dedicated white channel which offers bright lighting, multiple new moods and colors not possible with just RGB light alone.
