Members of the international lighting industry initiated the establishment of time (ZHAGA) alliance, aimed at promoting the LED machine interface standard

Yesterday, including ABL (Acuity Brands Lighting), Cooper lighting, OSRAM, Matsushita, PHILPS, Shi Laide, Toshiba, TRILUX and Fort ord group, nine lighting industry giant recently announced the launch of a cooperation in the industry organization (ZHAGA) - time alliance, to standardize all kinds of LED machine interface standard.

In order to cope with the sustained and rapid development of LED technology, by defining a dedicated machine interface data, various properties of standard machine cover zhaga, including physical dimensions, luminosity, electrical and thermal properties, so as to realize between the products of different manufacturers within the alliance and is compatible with the swap time.

The ultimate beneficiaries to establish standard zhaga will be consumers. This standard will help prevent the market differentiation is not compatible with the machine, so that consumers can safely choose and buy market can be replaced with the LED products, at the same time can continue to enjoy the performance of products offered by LED technology upgrade. In addition, the development of the industry, the establishment of standard zhaga will also promote LED lighting applications of innovation and competition.

Zhaga alliance is an open organization, welcome to the lighting industry, including Chinese enterprises, companies, so as to realize the common development of enterprise and industry. Members of the organization can be from LED and LED light source manufacturers, can also be parts suppliers (such as heat sinks and optical components). In the first meeting of the alliance, which is expected to be held in March 2010, the alliance members will work together for the establishment of the LED opto electronic interface standards and take an important first step in the development of the industry.
