Dialight (LSE: DIA.L), the innovative global leader in LED lighting technology, announced the introduction of integrated controls for its industry leading LED lighting fixture portfolio for use in the world’s most demanding applications.  The patent-pending, smart grid compatible control package is available in variety of communications protocols.

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) has unveiled WEBENCH® Schematic Export, a new online tool that exports analog designs from TI’s WEBENCH Design Center to industry-leading computer-aided design (CAD) development platforms from Cadence Design Systems, Inc., Mentor Graphics and Altium.

Standardization has become a key factor in LED adoption in the global lighting market - not only in safety standards and performance standards but also more importantly, in reliability and lifetime testing. LM80 is the lighting standard by which all major LED manufacturers are complying with for lumen maintenance testing.

Osram Opto Semiconductors developed the new Displix black and Displix blackprint multichip LEDs to meet the unique environmental demands of large-format outdoor displays typically used at rock concerts, sporting events or for perimeter advertising. These robust, high-contrast and high-power LEDs can withstand high humidity levels, wide fluctuations in temperature, and even torrential rain.

GLT can design and build the new high brightness light guides in different sizes – e.g., 5-, 7-, 9- and 12-inch diagonal – to fit the customer’s requirements. They are ideal for applications such as automotive, avionics, marine, commercial signage, point of purchase and a variety of other displays that must be clearly readable in direct sunlight.

Osram Opto Semiconductors announces the prototype of the Oslon Compact, currently the smallest high-power LED available to the automotive market. A prototype is being unveiled at the SIA Vision 2012 Conference in Versailles, France (October 9-10).

The new Oslon Black Flat LED from Osram Opto Semiconductors is a high-performance light source for automotive front lighting systems that offers high light output at high currents, uniform light distribution, thermal stability and exceptionally good contrast for seeing and being seen.

'Acrich 2' makes it possible to produce extended life, highly efficient LED light sources.

Xicato’s new 3000lm and 4000lm XLM LED modules provide light levels that replace inefficient high wattage halogen and metal halide lamps which have color stability and controllability issues.

Verbatim has announced a family of LED lamps designed for domestic applications.

Global Lighting Technologies Inc. is offering a 2x2 ft. square LED flat panel downlight assembly that provides a brighter, lighter weight and more efficient replacement for 2x2 ft. fluorescent lay-in troffers used in recessed ceiling lights.

The new IR Power Topled with lens (SFH 4258S/4259S) from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors has an 80 percent higher optical output than the standard version of the infrared LED while retaining the same surface area and drive current.

Supertex, Inc. today introduced HV9801A, a power saving, switch dimmable, LED driver integrated circuit (IC) designed to drive LEDs in dimmable household and office lighting applications.

Cree, Inc. announces that more than 930 LR6(TM) six-inch LED downlights and LR24(TM) LED lay-in luminaries have been installed at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base as part of an overall renovation currently underway.
