The significant equity infusion received by the Company from this group of world-class institutional investors is expected to be sufficient to finance Lighting Science Group's strategy to achieve profitability.
As part of this transaction, the Company has agreed to appoint a Director designated by Zouk Capital to fill the current vacancy on the Board of Directors.
Currently, the report suggests the OLED market struggles on account of several separate factors. It highlights the fact that because OLEDs are classed within the luxury market the prospect of increased interest and development could be a called into question in times of reduced wealth and higher unemployment. The report also argues that potentially lucrative office lighting market is still looking very elusive.
The fact that little news has emerged from the sector in the last year is also taken as an indication that necessary improvements in size and performance have not been achieved.

it is generally understood that conventional energy conservation
According to the Energy Information Administration [EIA], on a dollar-per-unit of-production basis, the level of subsidies received by the wind and solar industries were almost 100 times greater than those for conventional energy," stated Richard Solarz, senior director of technology at LED linear high bay light and Randy Moorhead, VP for government relations at Philips Electronics, co-leaders of the group advocating for greater DOE support for SSL.
"We believe that it is generally understood that conventional energy conservation -- specifically lighting -- efforts are under-supported."
SEMI added that it hopes the meeting will help secure support for SSL beyond its funding levels of the past four years, despite the obvious and formidable pressures on national budgets. "Despite the austerity mood in Washington, SEMI is confident that increased budget requests for LED-based lighting technologies will receive considerable bicameral and bipartisan support in the legislative branch during upcoming legislative sessions," the group stated.
Philips has decided to cut 2,200 jobs at its lighting and electronic divisions to save €300m by 2014.
According to the company, the restructuring programme will affect all sectors of the electronic and lighting divisions apart from the LED high bay light research and development department.but it will not affect the jobs of those working in healthcare equipment.

the deviation is easy to perceive through different color coordinates and brightnesses
Designers and developers of lamps are often faced with the problem that the standard LED shipping dimensions and configurations of certain series types contain a product group, which can possibly include LEDs with different color and brightness levels. A highly precise sorting always presents a logistical challenge: Even the most modern LED-production is subject to certain deviations through the complex production process. Particularly by LED high bay light, the deviation is easy to perceive through different color coordinates and brightnesses. In particular if you are dealing with comparing LEDs from different producers, developers often have the difficulty as to how the LED-quality actually corresponds with the brightness and color coordinates in accordance with CIE-standard (x/y-diagram). LEDs also change their color and brightness with increasing temperature. Thus, the normal testing procedure only takes 25 ms after the LED-production so they do not warm up. In order to be able to synchronize this "measuring frame" of 25 ms exactly with the flash time, normally very extensive and expensive laboratory instruments are required.
The portable, easy to operate and inexpensive spectrometer GL Spectis 1.1 is used here: It can determine brightness values with a current duration of 25 ms and a precision of +/- 4%. A special trig-out-connection emits a signal at a fixed point of time of the measurement, for example, to an external current source so that the LED illuminates exactly during the measuring period. In this way, the user can simulate the measurement conditions that exist by the manufacturer during the production and development test.
In connection with the mobile integrating sphere GL Opti Sphere 48, the new device was designed so that it reliably measures lumen values and all photometric values of not only individual LEDs, but also other small light sources. Moreover, the system simultaneously scales the spectra. Thus, it determines reliable values for color coordinates, CCT and CRI in accordance with the CIE-standard. Through this, the radiant power and luminous flux can be determined quickly.
Different than by normal spectrometers that can only measure individual LEDs, the mini-spectrometer can take measurements for Led linear high bay light that are already found on a printed board through the integrating sphere with a diameter of 48 mm. Through this, the influences of electronic construction elements, drivers and current supplies can be determined on the spectral properties of the LEDs to be measured as well as the usage of dimmers and cooling elements.

if such lamps are used for illuminating your house
A number of retailers, particularly hardware stores, are selling rough service bulbs online.
But the National Measurement Office, the Government agency responsible for enforcing the ban on traditional bulbs, warned householders against buying the rough service versions.
An official guidance paper says such bulbs are "declared by the manufacturer as unsuitable" for illuminating household rooms and adds: "Consideration should be given to the terms and conditions of any household insurance policy if such lamps are used for illuminating your house."
A Defra spokesman said: "The final stage of the EU phase-out of incandescent light bulbs will mean that from September 1, 25W and 40W bulbs will no longer be allowed into the market. However, this does not prevent retailers selling existing bulbs they already have in stock."
DIY chain B&Q said it supports the shift away from traditional bulbs.

the material properties required by industry for lighting
The new lights are being paid for with a $3 million loan from the California Energy Commission. Although the light from the led high bay lighting looks better than before, "energy savings for us was the focus" of the replacements, he said.
The city spends $650,000 annually on street lighting energy.
"Some agencies that have switched over to LED have seen well over 60 percent savings," he said. Hayward staff members estimate the city will cut its energy consumption by about half, with the savings being used to pay off the $3 million loan.
The city is scheduled to pay off the loan in seven to 10 years, but it could be sooner if energy savings exceed 50 percent.
Canadian firm Meaglow has made a breakthrough on a low temperature Migration Enhanced Afterglow film growth technique to produce a thick InGaN layer with strong yellow emission, for increasing the efficiency and lowering production costs of green LEDs and laser diodes.
It is looking for collaboration opportunities to enhance the material properties required by industry for lighting, display, medical, and military applications and other uses.
Meaglow's Chief Scientist K. Scott Butcher, says, "It's the LED high bay light brightest p-n junction I've ever seen in my life, and its right in the green gap."

LED lighting adoption in the automotive category by the end of the decade
According to a recent market report, McKinsey & Company predicts a sharp increase in LED lighting adoption in the automotive category by the end of the decade.
In last year's automotive lighting market, LEDs claimed a 12 percent share, contributing to the overall category's revenue of $18.1 billion. By 2020, researchers expect to see LED share nearly triple to 34 percent of the overall automotive lighting market. This forecast is based on the anticipated growth in LED headlight adoption by OEMs during the next eight years.
Once automakers re-engineer a vehicle's forward lighting system to accommodate LED, OSRAM suggests that broadening the led high bay lighting application across other vehicle lines and platforms will come more easily.
India Seamless group, a Pune-based small aircraft manufacturer, has make inroad into consumer lighting business by a new subsidiary LightO Technologies which aims to penetrate the markets in India, LED high bay light, Bangladesh and Nepal.

LED solutions designed to inspire the imaginations of lighting designers
Simplifying development of products such as wall-washers, moving-head spotlights, tunable retrofits and even remote phosphor-based lamps, the LUXEON Z will give engineers a modular approach to developing entertainment, architectural and specialty lighting products. Moreover, the un-encapsulated chips can easily accommodate custom optics, eliminating the need for complex, inefficient secondary lenses. With the launch of LUXEON Z, Philips Lumileds has demonstrated its commitment to proving state-of-the-art LED solutions designed to inspire the imaginations of lighting designers.
Eco Engineering LLC, a specialized provider of energy-efficient lighting services and upgrades, identified and implemented the lighting solution for Medical Mutual of Ohio utilizing 2,600 volumetric Relight kits. The Relight kits were used to retrofit the deep-cell parabolic luminaires throughout the building’s interior. The 2’ x 4’ volumetric Relight kits feature energy-efficient RT8R recessed lighting components that were quickly and easily installed into existing fixtures, eliminating the need to break the ceiling plane.
The energy-efficient Relight assemblies are expected to reduce electrical demand from the onset of installation, including a reduction in the air conditioning load because the new lighting generates less heat. The building’s total annual energy usage is also expected to decrease by more than 50 percent, or from 2.5 million kilowatt hours to about 1.2 million kilowatt hours.
“Volumetric Relight kits are an ideal solution for renovating inefficient and outdated lighting systems,” said Kurt Vogel, Lithonia Lighting Director of Product and Market Development for Relight. “In addition to providing energy savings, the Relight kits improve the quality of lighting by delivering the ideal amount of soft, comfortable light throughout the space. The visually uncomfortable checker-board or cave effect created by parabolic and lensed troffer systems is completely eliminated.”

They are made in the USA from imported parts
Located around the tree-lined pathways and stairs of the 1.7-acre park are 13 lampposts whose ballasted 130-watt high-pressure-sodium post-top bulbs have recently been replaced with 27-watt LED lamps from LEDtronics.
Apart from the energy savings of 103 watts per unit, the LED lamps offer much longer product lifespans than HPS or Metal Halide, resulting in reduced replacement and maintenance costs; improved visibility and enhanced night vision (as compared with high glare from HID lamps), and reduction of hot-spots, all helping with crime prevention; reduced light pollution, because light can be directed where it is needed and not into surrounding office buildings; instant illumination with no delay in re-strike, and no ultraviolet emissions that attract insects.
The installed warm-white LEDtronics acorn-style post-top lamps operate on a 100-277VAC wide voltage range and provide a uniform pattern of light. The ETL-listed units feature a ventilated assembly that maintains a cool-running lamp, and an optimized circuitry that corrects the power factor for maximum efficiency. They are made in the USA from imported parts and meet Buy American requirements within the ARRA program. The lamps come with a 5-year factory warranty.
Similar LEDtronics post-top LED lamps have been installed in neighborhoods all around Southern California, including the Pasadena Civic Center and its residential streets; Mountain Gate Park in Corona; all along Linden Avenue and the Metro station in Carpinteria; Library Park in Monrovia, and streets in Santa Ana.

parking structure luminaires to illuminate the exteriors of seven schools
Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering at the National Central University of Taiwan, comments, “Demand for low-cost GaN-based power devices in high-efficiency and high-power systems continues to increase. To satisfy this need we therefore plan to transfer our specially developed semiconductor materials technology to industry, for a pilot initially, and then for large-scale production. In order to succeed in this venture, the very best deposition equipment will be required, such as the AIXTRON multi-wafer MOCVD system on order. This system is an excellent match for the heteroepitaxial growth of gallium nitride structures on large area silicon wafers, with a view to providing high-performance devices as cost-efficiently as possible. Furthermore, the excellent reputation of the led high bay lighting support service gives us great confidence for this very important new project.“
The National Central University (NCU) of Taiwan has a strong global reputation for research and academic excellence. Through its cooperative education programs and research projects, cutting-edge research and innovative learning, NCU will remain a first-rate university in Taiwan and worldwide. NCU research programs are wide ranging and include complex systems, liquid-crystals, neural networks, phonon and photon lattices, semiconductors, magnetic thin-films and superconductivity.
Newport News Public School District in Virginia recently installed more than 185 Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) LED exterior luminaires, becoming the first Virginia school district in the area with a significant LED lighting installation. The district selected Cree THE EDGE® security, area and parking structure luminaires to illuminate the exteriors of seven schools: General Stanford Elementary, Greenwood Elementary, Lee Hall Elementary, Palmer Elementary, Crittenden Middle, Booker T. Washington Middle and Denbigh High.
“These energy efficient lights virtually eliminate maintenance, provide the district with dramatic energy savings and also reflect the community’s commitment to sustainability,” said Keith Webb, executive director of plant services for the Newport News Public School District. “The LED high bay light furthers our goal of enhancing and bettering the learning environment, while saving money for the schools and tax payers.”

he value chain from development and production to sales
The new assembly plant enables us to better participate in the strong market growth in China and further extend our solid position in Asia,” said Wolfgang Dehen, CEO of OSRAM AG. “Growing at a remarkable rate, Jiangsu Province’s LED industry is at the forefront in China. We will fully support Osram’s development in Wuxi with the highest quality service, and we also hope Osram can expand its investment in Wuxi to have the plant up and running as soon as possible,” said Xueyong Li, Governor of Jiangsu Province.
The contracts for the new Wuxi location were only signed in May this year. The groundbreaking now marks the beginning of the construction of the 100,000 square meter compound. Osram will invest a low three-digit million euro figure over the next five years whilst also securing comprehensive support from its Chinese partners. In the final completion stage, the new assembly plant will be able to accommodate up to 1,600 employees.
With the new plant in Wuxi, Osram is responding to the increasing demand for LED-based products in the fast-growing Asian market, thereby sustainably reinforcing its regional position in the growth region Asia. This comes against the backdrop that the LED backend capacity at the Osram plant in Penang, where chips are both produced and packaged, is expected to reach its limits within the next few years. In addition to its two frontend production plants, Osram will in future have two backend sites. “With highly skilled personnel, a good infrastructure and experienced partners, Wuxi provides the best conditions for our new LED assembly,” said Aldo Kamper, CEO of the Osram Opto Semiconductors business unit.
The Asian region already accounts for around 35 percent of today’s global general lighting market, which is expected to increase to 45 percent by 2020 according to recent studies. The Chinese lighting market alone, worth over 8 billion Euro today, is predicted to more than double by 2020. In fiscal year 2011, Osram generated about one fifth of its revenue in the Asia-Pacific region, where it employs over 16,000 employees. This workforce is larger than that of any other region worldwide, and roughly half of it is employed in China. Osram has marketed products in the region for about 80 years, covering all major stages in the value chain from development and production to sales.

In addition to its two frontend production plants, Osram will in future have two backend sites. “With highly skilled personnel, a good infrastructure and experienced partners, Wuxi provides the best conditions for our new LED assembly,” said Aldo Kamper, CEO of the Osram Opto Semiconductors business unit.
The Asian region already accounts for around 35 percent of today’s global general lighting market, which is expected to increase to 45 percent by 2020 according to recent studies. The Chinese lighting market alone, worth over 8 billion Euro today, is predicted to more than double by 2020. In fiscal year 2011, Osram generated about one fifth of its revenue in the Asia-Pacific region, where it employs over 16,000 employees. This workforce is larger than that of any other region worldwide, and roughly half of it is employed in China. Osram has marketed products in the region for about 80 years, covering all major stages in the value chain from development and production to sales.

displayed engineering intelligence that was simply unmatched
Browsing by competing LED Grow Light booths were many nice looking and colorful products, but none that stood out more than Hydro Grow. The sheer intensity of X2 left passers stunned that LEDs could produce such results and the modular build design displayed engineering intelligence that was simply unmatched.
As of June 30, 2012, the company’s backlog was $1.6 billion. This included approximately $758.6 million in the polysilicon segment, $137.8 million in the PV segment and $697.5 million in the sapphire segment. Included in the total backlog was approximately $149.3 million of deferred revenue.
New orders for the second quarter of calendar 2012 were $13.8 million and included $0.4 million of polysilicon orders, $8.5 million of PV orders and $4.9 million in sapphire orders. The company had $31.9 million of negative adjustments to backlog related to the termination of a single ASF sapphire contract which the company had previously indicated it anticipated due to the customer’s failure to perform.
We are pleased with our performance in the June quarter as we exceeded expectations, a notable accomplishment given the continued headwinds in the solar and LED markets that we serve,” said Tom Gutierrez, president and chief executive officer. “Our PV and sapphire businesses performed in line with our expectations while our polysilicon business out-performed with an incremental $53 million of revenue recognized in the quarter. Our total backlog remains solid and our assessment of backlog risk remains unchanged from our analysis one quarter ago.

We would like to thank Al for his contributions to the Company over the year
These quality products from Luminus Devices are currently available for purchase on Digi-Key’s global websites. The company’s online offerings and resources include: PTM® product training modules; TechZoneSM technology zones; Another Geek Moment videos; Digi-Key toolbar; PurchasingProSM for electronics buyers; TechXchangeSM; a Mobile and Social Center; the Scheme-it online schematic design tool; Reference Design Library; and the Dynamic Catalog.
We would like to thank Al for his contributions to the Company over the years. Al played an instrumental role leading his team and his experience, guidance and efforts will be missed," said Scott Riesebosch, President of CRS Electronics. "We wish him well in his retirement."
Rubicon says that its customers in the LED, silicon-on-sapphire (SoS)/RFIC (radio-frequency integrated circuit) and optical markets all have specific and distinct requirements for the crystal planar orientation of the sapphire products used in their applications. The new patented orientation technology provides greater precision in sapphire planar orientation and eliminates time-consuming steps by performing the orientation at the fabrication tool. The resulting efficiencies will ultimately translate into savings for customers, reckons Rubicon.
The company’s president & CEO Raja M. Parvez,said that “Rubicon is known by many for its expertise in crystal growth technology, but our technological leadership extends from raw material through finished sapphire wafers.This patent reflects one of many technological innovations we’ve put in place to meet our customers’ exacting and evolving requirements.”
