Chicago will host the July summit of solid state lighting investment

In 2009, solid state lighting Investment Summit (2009 Solid State Lighting Investment Summit), also known as "Clean Technology Investment Summit will be held in Chicago in July 29, 2009 the standard American private club (the Standard Club) held. This event is by the American Association for corporate growth (ACG:Association for Corporate Growth) organization, meeting time is morning from 7:30 to 5:00 pm, then the reception will be held, the reception ACG membership will cost $195, $265 for non members.

ACG Miller, chief executive officer of Craig in Chicago, said: "this event will be held at ThinkEquity LLC, ThinkEquity LLC, an investment bank, and has a strong influence in the field of green technology. "

Speaker

Center lighting technology center in California (California Lighting Technology), director of Engineering Bruce PELton, the lecture entitled "towards solid-state lighting (The Move Toward State Lighting)".

OptoElectronix CEO Chuck Berghoff, the lecture entitled "the perfect storm, breakthrough technology (The Perfect Storm, a Disruptive Technology").

Market research company Strategies Unlimited director Bob Steele, titled "high brightness LED & solid-state lighting market prospects (The Market Outlook for High Brightness LEDs & Solid State Lighting)".

The expert group focus on

Topic 1 depth discussion LED will face the opportunities and challenges (Enabling Adoption, Downstream LED Opportunities and Challenges)

Attendee:

Acuity Brands, Inc., iLight Technologies, LedEngin, Inc., Nexxus Nexxus Lighting, Inc. and Renaissance Lighting, Inc.

The efficiency of an incandescent light bulb is only 15lm/W, the energy is over 90% and the service life is up to 1000 hours. Because the lighting accounts for 22% of U.S. electricity consumption, therefore, LED lighting has great potential to reduce energy consumption, at the same time, the LED lamp has long service life, low maintenance rate, good light effect, innovative applications and substantial cost savings / investment return rate (ROI), for the final customer. However, the current LED technology has developed to a key link, if the application of this technology to the end user's devices and applications, will still be a daunting task. The panel of experts from these companies will stand at the forefront of different LED lighting applications, in the face of today's market, to discuss the opportunities and challenges faced by the current LED

Topic 2 research progress of LED Technology (Advances in LED Technology)

Attendee:

BridgeLux, Inc., Intematix, Luminus Devices, Inc., Lynk, Nuventix, Labs, Inc.

Luminous efficiency is low, the traditional lighting technology has been 100 years of history. Since the invention of the light bulb in 1879, the light emitting diode (LED) represents the most significant technological advance in the lighting industry. This breakthrough technology from the last century in 70s, a simple red light indicator gradually developed into today's life can be up to more than 50 thousand hours, the light effect is greater than 100lm/W of white LED. The cost of LED has been reduced by 10 times, and its performance has increased by a factor of 20 every 10 years, and is expected to become the most efficient light source. LED requires the use of advanced materials to achieve innovation, through improved packaging, drives, heat dissipation and optical management components, to achieve the best product performance. The panel of experts from various companies will represent the different LED components, techniques, and methods to discuss the technical advances in the field.

Topic 3 advanced lighting industry is about to transition to investment and consolidation period (Investment and Consolidation in Advanced Lighting)

Attendee:

American River Ventures, Applied Ventures, LLC, Doll Capital Management, Sierra Ventures and Vantage Point

The lighting industry is experiencing a period of consolidation and investment, largely driven by LED and other highly efficient lighting technologies. According to Cleantech.com website statistics show that since 2007, efficient lighting has received $420 million ($LED:3.54 billion) of venture capital, accounting for 26% of all energy efficiency risk investment. In addition, these experienced investors will invest in lighting and strategic activities to share their ideas. (http://www.ledsmagazine.com/news/6/6/12)
