SemiLEDs announced today that it has entered into a joint cooperation with Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) to initiate a pilot program to convert part of ITRI’s campus street lamps from metal halide into LED systems.
The 24W LED systems, designed by ITRI based on its own technologies in optical lens design and light-weight thermal solution, contain P2 Lamps that were packaged by Helios Crew Corp (HCC, www.helioscrew.com ) using high power LED chips from SemiLEDs. Using less than 10% of the 240W of power required for the metal halide systems, the LED systems from HCC and SemiLEDs are able to provide greater light quality and distribution while virtually eliminating maintenance costs.
