Philips Lumileds and Genius Electronic Optical Company (GSEO) announced yesterday that GSEO is developing new solid-state street lights and street light modules with LUXEON Rebel for use on roadways throughout China. The first installations of GSEO’s new streetlights are expected in early 2010. GSEO’s LED specification for its most advanced street lights—using LUXEON Rebel—prioritized reliability, efficacy, ease of integration and thermal capabilities, the primary factors that allow their solid-state solution to achieve a lower total cost of ownership and lower energy consumption than conventional light sources.

Selecting a proven and reliable power LED allowed GSEO’s engineers to create a design that delivers 70 lumens per watt, minimize the number of LEDs required, and minimize or eliminate glare that can be a visual disturbance. The company uses a patented thermal design that ensures the lifetime performance of the LUXEON Rebel LEDs. In fact, the cooling system is guaranteed for the life of the product.
