Ledzworld

Penang, April 27, 2012 —- Ledzworld Technology, an innovative R&D and manufacturing company of high-end LED retro-fit lamps for professional users, Demonstrates its latest Chameleon Driver Technology during the Light Fair International in Las Vegas (May 09-11, 2012)

These intelligent drivers create the world’s first  MR16 range that is truly compatible.

The biggest challenge for manufacturers of retrofit LED lamps is the compatibility with thousands of existing combinations of dimmers and transformers.

The Chameleon driver of Ledzworld is a technological break-through. Its arrival will change the industry standard.

The Chameleon driver adjusts itself to its environment.

The Chameleon driver first detects the transformer type, analyses its wave-form and then adjusts itself to make a perfect electrical fit with that particular transformer.

Chameleon drivers make Ledzworld retrofit lamps truly “plug and play” devices that can be used in most of the possible combinations of the commonly used drivers and dimmers.

Chameleon drivers will create lamps that are hassle free and true halogen replacements.
There will be two versions of MR16 lamps with Chameleon intelligent drivers;

• a true retrofit sized 7W version , 350 Lumen – 3000K
• a slightly larger sized 9.5W version, 450 Lumen – 3000K

The lamps work well on a large variety of magnetic (halogen) transformers in combination with most commonly used leading edge dimmers as well as with a large variety of electronic transformers in combination with most commonly used electronic dimmers.

Penang, April 12th, 2012 —- Ledzworld Technology, an innovative R&D and manufacturing company of high-end LED retro-fit lamps for professional users, launches its new LED retrofit MR16 , a low power-consumption 7.5W LED lamp that produces an industry- leading high output of 480 Lumen. The lamp has an efficacy of >64 Lumen/W at a colour temperature of 3000K.

Just 2 days after Cree made its first official media announcement of a new lighting class LED designed for high-output small form factor directional lighting, Ledzworld launches the first lamp that integrates the latest Cree multi-die MT-G2 LED with its own superior thermal design and driver- technology.

Ledzworld’s MR16 -7.5W Cree MT-G2 is one of the first full replacements of a traditional 50W halogen lamp.

Samples are available in June and production volumes are available with standard lead-times from third quarter 2012 onwards

Penang, February 7, 2012 —- Ledzworld Technology, an innovative R&D and manufacturing company of high-end LED retro-fit lamps for professional users, launches the world’s first LED lamp with Solid State Cooling System™ (SSCS).

Thanks to built-in solid state cooling technology, this 14W lamp is able to dissipate double the heat that a standard sized Par20 can usually handle. During the LFI lightng fair (9-11 May 2012) Ledzworld will demonstrate the technology in its Par20 featuring a whopping output of 800 Lumen (3000 CCT) and a system efficacy of >70 Lumen per Watt.

The operating temperature of this lamp is much lower than Ledzworld’s 8W Par20 despite the absence of an aluminium heatsink. This enables Ledzworld to manufacture reliable LED retrofit lamps with an ultra-high lumen output. In Q4 2011 Ledzworld launched the 800 Lumen PAR16 lamps using the same Solid State Cooling technology, following in Q4 2012 Ledzworld will announce its 2400 Lumen Solid State Cooled Par38 lamps.

Says Ken Chakravarti, CTO of Ledzworld; There are no moving parts inside so these lamps are not cooled by an active fan. The Solid State Cooling System™ (SSCS) is an elegant solution that actively removes as much as 30 watts of heat from LED lamps. The Solid State Cooling technology eliminates the need for bulky heat sinks, noisy fans and the need for exotic materials or new fixtures and outlets enabling Ledzworld to build LED retrofit lamps that fit in the existing residential and commercial lighting infrastructure and can be mounted in any direction.

With the Solid State Cooling System integrated into our lamps, a system level reliability of greater than 25,000 hours of operation is achieved.

Our new technology enables us to build extremely reliable products and to optimize the utilization of the light-sources. The lamps become more efficient and it allows us to look beyond existing production processes as we no longer need aluminium cast heat sinks. As a matter of fact we no longer need a heat-sink at all.

When we are scaling up this will drive the cost down significantly and that prepares Ledzworld for an even brighter future. The revolutionary technology will be demonstrated at Ledzworld’s booth at the LFI lighting fair. (#6711) Ledzworld received the LFI innovation award 2010 during the LFI lighting fair in Las Vegas in the “general lighting category” for its CTA® technology.
