Ledzworld announces an industry-first; a Solid State Cooled Par20 LED Retrofit Lamp with 800 Lumen output powered by Cree® LEDs.

8 Feb

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.

PAR20 SSC

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.

Finally… True Halogen replacement lamps. Fully Dimmable 7W Perfect Fit GU10 LED lamps powered by Cree® LEDs

21 Oct

Penang,  Oct 21, 2011 —- Ledzworld Technology, an innovative  R&D and manufacturing company of high-end LED retro-fit lamps for professional users, launches its new LED retrofit GU10 , a fully dimmable 7W LED lamp. The lamp has an impressive light output of 400 lumen in warm white (3000K).

Ledzworld is the first company to launch a fully dimmable retrofit LED halogen replacement lamp that integrates the Cree MT-G technology with sophisticated Ledzworld driver-technology. The small form- factor of a standard size GU10 connector requires a miniaturization of the driver and strict EMC standards have to be met. Ledzworld’s dimmable GU10 is the first fully certified dimmable LED replacement lamp in its class. The lamp comes in both 110V and 230V AC
Especially in Europe, the huge install-base of GU10 fixtures creates an enormous possibility for Ledzworld’s large ODM customers.

7W MR16 GU10 Fully Dimmable

Samples are available in December and production volumes are available with standard lead-times from January 2012 onwards. During the Hong Kong Lighting Exhibition (October 27-30) the lamps will be demonstrated at the Ledzworld booth (5C-B07)

Ledzworld unveils the first truly compatible MR16 LED lamps

19 Oct

Penang,  Oct 19, 2011 —- Ledzworld Technology, an innovative  R&D and manufacturing company of high-end LED retro-fit lamps for professional users, unveils its Chameleon Driver Technology during the International Lighting Fair in Hong Kong (Oct 27-30, 2011)

Chameleon driver

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.
