Lighting Science Group produces 1m LED bulbs in three months

Lighting Science Group CEO Jim Haworth presents 2 millionth LED bulb to EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson during Florida visit

LED lighting manufacturer Lighting Science Group (OTCBB: LSCG) has produced one million LED bulbs in the first quarter of the year.

For years, high-output and low-cost LED lighting products had been just out of reach, but Lighting Science Group said it has “revolutionized the science of light in America” to produce lighting products that deliver on the promise of LED technology.
From the International Space Station to the Times Square Ball to other projects in major cities across the world and now in homes, Lighting Science Group’s LED solutions are increasing energy independence and saving consumers, businesses and governments significant amounts of money.
“Today, we celebrate not only past successes, but encouraging present trends, and the promise of a sustainable, job-creating, green future made possible by LED lighting solutions,” said Jim Haworth, chief executive officer of Lighting Science Group.
“Indicative of our company’s solid growth and numerous accomplishments is that while last year we produced and sold 1 million bulbs primarily in the second half of last year, this year, we surpassed the 1 million bulb milestone in just a few months.
“While we’re incredibly pleased with our dramatic expansion in manufacturing capacity, we also take great pride in the quality and performance of our products. We had the first and now, the most, ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs—so today, it is quite special for our team to welcome the head of the ENERGY STAR program, Administrator Jackson, and to share our technology advances and operational capabilities with her.”
“These LED lights prevent harmful emissions from entering our air, while also cutting electricity costs for American families and creating jobs for American workers,” said Administrator Lisa P. Jackson.
“We’re proud to join with Lighting Science Group and all our ENERGY STAR partners to show how protecting our environment inspires new innovations and builds off one of America’s greatest talents: using ingenuity to improve our economy while at the same time improving our health and the health of our children. Innovations like these are critical to a clean, secure and affordable energy future.”
With the financial help and support of Pegasus Capital Advisors and other investors, Lighting Science Group has built a thriving company in the United States.
The company’s world-class expertise in LED lighting research, design, development and assembly has allowed it to move high performance and affordable LED products to market at a rate unmatched by many other lighting companies.      www.bgocled.com

1. Divided by LED light colorsDivided by LED light color, can be divided into red, orange, green (and yellow sub-standard green and pure green), blue, etc. In addition, some light-emitting diodes contain two or three colors of chips.According to a light emitting diode doped or not doped at the scattering agent, colored or colorless, the various colors of light-emitting diodes can be divided into colored and transparent, colorless transparent, colored and colorless scattering four types of scattering. Scattering of light-emitting diodes and do light up in use.2. By LED features a smooth sub-By LED features a smooth sub-round lights, side lights, rectangular, LED panel, LED side lights, side pipes, surface mount using a micro-tubes. Divided by diameter round light φ2mm, φ4.4mm, φ5mm, φ8mm, φ10mm and φ20mm etc. φ3mm abroad usually recorded as light-emitting diode T-1; the φ5mm's recorded as T-1 (3 / 4); the φ4.4mm's recorded as T-1 (1 / 4).By the half-value angle size can be estimated round luminous intensity distribution angle from the angular distribution of light intensity to be divided into three categories:(1) high directivity. Generally pointed epoxy encapsulated, or packaged with a metal reflector cavity, and does not increase the scattering agent. Half-value angle of 5 ° ~ 20 ° or less, with high directivity, can be used for partial lighting, or composition of the light detector linked to automatic detection system.(2) standard, usually used for light, its half-value angle of 20 ° ~ 45 °.(3) scattering model, which is the larger perspective of the light, half-value angle of 45 ° ~ 90 ° or greater, the larger the amount of scattering agent.3. Divided by the structure of light-emitting diodesDivided by the structure of light-emitting diodes are all epoxy, epoxy encapsulated base metal, ceramic and glass base epoxy encapsulated package structure.4. By light intensity and the current sub-By light intensity and current points of ordinary brightness of the LED (light intensity <10mcd); ultra-high brightness LED (light intensity> 100mcd); the luminous intensity between the 10 ~ 100mcd called high-brightness light-emitting diodes. General LED work to a few dozen mA current in mA, and low-current LED current in 2mA or less (normal LED brightness and the same).. More LED products visit: www.bgocled.com

LED light jewelry popular 5-steps

Trend one: simple structure, fine workmanship, bright colors
Now, LED panel lights decorative home lighting design trends become more and more simple structure, fine workmanship, bright colors, as we see more and more landed in Beijing Italian furniture, and their design is very modern.
