GSEO to use Lumileds’ Luxeon Rebels in LED street lighting throughout China

Taiwan’s Genius Electronic Optical Co Ltd (GSEO) is developing new solid-state street lights and street-light modules incorporating Luxeon Rebel LEDs from Philips Lumileds Lighting Co of San Jose, CA, USA, for use on roadways throughout China. The first installations are expected in early 2010.

Established in 1990, GSEO is also developing solid-state lighting solutions including tunnel lights and flood lights. With experience in injection mold design and production, GSEO specializes in high-precision optical component design, development and manufacturing, enabling it to offer a complete design and manufacturing process.

Lumileds says that GSEO’s LED specification for its most advanced street lights prioritized reliability, efficacy, ease of integration and thermal capabilities - the primary factors that allow a lower total cost of ownership and lower energy consumption compared with conventional light sources.  

Lumileds adds that the proven reliability of its power LED allowed GSEO to create a design that delivers 70 lumens per watt, minimize the number of LEDs required, and minimize or eliminate the visual disturbance of glare. The LED maker uses a patented thermal design that, it says, ensures the lifetime performance of its LUXEON Rebel. The cooling system is guaranteed for the life of the product.  

“The solutions that GSEO is developing can bring great benefit to the cities that adopt and implement the new street lights,” says Alvin Tse, Lumileds’ VP Asia Pacific Sales.

GSEO’s approach to creating new solutions is to choose the highest-quality LEDs and to implement an optimized system design to ensure that the new luminaire is the best overall solution for its designated application,” says Calvin Chen, director of GSEO’s LED Lighting business unit. “The result is a high-quality, long-life street light with uniform light distribution,” he claims. “GSEO intends to provide its solution using Philips Luxeon Rebel LEDs to municipalities and organizations globally.”
