U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently re-modified the contest rules about PAR38 LED lamps in “L Prize” competition plan. It is understood that the beam pattern of the participating lighting asked to be transferred to be wider after the rules were revised, the pressure the manufacturers face is relatively alleviated. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced that it will through the “Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)” and “Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)”.The two plans offer new solid-state lighting (SSL) support for research funding to OLED technology . PAR38 “L Prize” competition was started in 2008, Philips won 60W lamps class champion in the competition in 2011. The real significance of the PAR38 competition lies that the halogen incandescent lamps are gradually replaced with LED lamps. Currently, the U.S. Department of Energy has considered that Class A PAR38 lamps and lighting is the most widely used, so the focus of the part of the “LPrize” contest is corresponding socket that is currently also to help LED achieve maximum energy efficiency. the “L Prize” contest in 2011 Following Philips, the general lighting (GE) and Florida Lighting Science Group have announced plans to participate in the A-type lamps contest, but PAR38 competition still open. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) temporarily halted the contest in 2011, and then restarted again on March 2012. After restarting,some of the competition rules have been changed over the previous generation, and now the competed manufacturers required to submit the required number of samples. According to the contest rules appeared, PAR38 “L Prize” winner will receive a $ 5,000,000 financial support, as well as the purchase orders from the U.S. government for winning luminaires. Philips Lighting won the $ 10 million financial support in Class A contest before, but its investment in the related research and development may far more than this number, but Philips finally squeezed into the leader position of the LED retrofit lamp technology after making these efforts. Revised rules were introduced According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) introduced that the latest amendments were adjusted according to market circumstances, the maximum allowable beam of the distribution pattern specification of the luminous intensity is adjusted from the previous12 ° to 15 °. The second change is that the appropriateness of the request. Previously the organizers claimed that LED products must be used in the United States, the organizers ask the final assembly of the participating fixture to be done in the United States after the revised and the participants must have business units in the United States. The requirement of the lamps in the first production year also have been adjusted, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) won’t require contestants to promise producing 250,000 lamps after winning the L Prize award in the first year any more. OLED financial support plan U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the new FY 2014 SBIR and STTR funding programs including OLED. And revealed that formal tendering statement will be issued on August 12 this year, the deadline for the submission of Letter of Intent is September 3, 2013, the deadline for applications is October 15, 2013. U.S. government has implemented the LED prize contests to manufacturers to produce more innovative and high quality LED lamps, with the constant support of the government, it is clear that LED lighting have begun to enjoy a great popularity in the United States! Meanwhile, in the other corner of the earth – the China that is famous for manufacturing, LED lighting market is also hot, there has been a large number of LED lighting business focusing on the vital interests of the customer and continuously innovating and improving the product technology and quality , Lead lighting is just one of them.Lead Lighting adopts high brightness SMD as the light source of the LED tube light and highly integrated and high brightness COB as the light source of the LED flood light, which fully guaranteed stability and soft light of the LED tube light and octahedron breadth and brightness irradiation range of the LED flood light, while the low voltage constant current driver is adopted as the driver of LED tube light and LED flood light, which convert the AC into DC so that improve energy efficiency and reduce the waste heat energy and stroboscopic effect exciting the human eye, the most important is that the LED lighting without adding mercury and other heavy metals harmful to our body and pollution the environment, that’s why the LED light is famous for energy-saving and environmental protection ,login www.ledclan.com to learn more features and uses of the LED tube light and surf www.lead-lighting.com to know more awesome LED floodlights and other LED lighting.
