once community leaders understand the LED value proposition

Roadways are the new frontier of the solid-state lighting revolution,” said Steve Briggs, YAHAM Lighting’s global product general manager. “We’re finding that once community leaders understand the LED value proposition—over 50 percent energy savings and 10-plus years of life for significant maintenance cost savings versus older incumbent technologies—a shift to LED becomes a priority. They get to think and act like a CFO, which constituents love, with the additional good-neighbor and environmental benefits that LED systems deliver.”

“LED lighting has been identified as a top opportunity for excellent financial, community and environmental benefits, and YAHAM has tremendous expertise on efficient lighting solutions,” said Rafael Reyes, executive eirector of the Bay Area Climate Collaborative. “Through our collaboration, we will help local governments save millions of dollars that can be reinvested to strengthen the regional economy.”

NGK Insulators, Ltd. of Japan has announced the development of high-quality GaN wafers to reduce defects and roughly double the luminous efficiency of green LEDs over previous models. NGK achieved this breakthrough by using a crystal growth technology that it has improved through a proprietary approach.
