Bridgelux Expands LED Bulb Options, While Luxim Does a Plasma Street Light
A 60 percent drop in price helps everything.
Bridgelux is trying to put LEDs wherever it can.
The company last year came out with LED arrays — essentially groups of LEDs that can share common components to reduce overall costs for the general lighting market. This year, the company has come up with refined versions of those arrays for specific markets.
The RS Array Series, for instance, are designed to replace the metal lamps and high-wattage fluorescent bulbs seen in hotel lobbies and retail outlets. This task is not as easy as it sounds: the light has to carry a long way and is often called on to illuminate large swaths of a store’s floor.
