Taiwan based maker of household appliances, Tatung Corp., is about to roll out over 20 models of LED lamps on April 26 in association with its subsidiaries, including sapphire-wafer maker San Chih Semiconductor Co., Ltd. and LED packager Forward Electronics Co., Ltd., as well as LED makers Formosa Epitaxy Inc. and Unity Opto Co., Ltd.

According to the cooperation, Tatung will contract Unity to make the lamps and slap its brand names on them. San Chih is designated to supply sapphire as carrier substrate, on which Formosa will use to grow LED epitaxy layers.

All these lamps will be available at 240 wholly owned retail shops in Taiwan, to help the island’s consumers save electricity bills at a time when electricity rate hikes have become a dominant issue of people’s life here.

In addition to sell LED lamps to consumers, the company has begun replacing all traditional lights at its office and factory buildings throughout the island and overseas outlets with LED lamps.
