the core innovations behind this new technology

The high thermal management efficiency of this technology enables significantly higher light output – for example from replacement spots – than is currently available anywhere in the LED market,” says Dr Juha Rantala, Chairman of Lumichip Ltd. “LightTherm materials, device construction and manufacturing processes give flexibility in design, and will enable the manufacture of entirely new lighting applications for both consumer and industrial luminaires. We believe this will change completely the way in which LED products are manufactured in the future.”

LightTherm's technologies are based on years of development, characterisation and lifetime tests carried out at VTT Technology Research Centre of Finland, which provides high-end technology LED high bay light solutions and innovation services. “We are pleased to co-operate with a partner such as Lumichip to take this very innovative and promising technology to the industrialisation and commercialisation phase,”says Antti Sinisalo, CEO of VTT Ventures Ltd.

LightTherm's founding team consists of Petri Nyman, Ville Moilanen and Kimmo Jokelainen. CEO and co-founder Petri Nyman has extensive experience in start-ups, as well as in the management of growth companies. Co-founders Ville Moilanen and Kimmo Jokelainen have a research background with VTT and have been instrumental in developing the core innovations behind this new technology.

According to the abstract released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A light emitting diode (LED) lighting system includes a base, a power supply on the base, an LED module on the base having one or more LED dice configured to emit electromagnetic radiation having a selected wavelength range, and multiple interchangeable wavelength conversion lenses configured for removable attachment to the base in light communication with the LED module. Each lens has a different configuration such that the lenses can be changed to vary the electromagnetic radiation output of the light emitting diode (LED) lighting system. The wavelength conversion lenses can be separate from a cover for the light emitting diode (LED) lighting system or can be formed directly on the cover."
