Grant funds GBP 330,000 project to develop new technology platforms for next generation LED lighting modules.

Dialight Lumidrives, in collaboration with the University of Manchester, has been awarded a grant by the Department of Trade and Industry-led Technology Programme for a GBP 330,000 project to develop new technology platforms for next generation LED lighting modules The applied research programme runs until April 2008 and aims to produce a number of high output LED modules with light outputs exceeding 12,000 lumen

The modules will integrate thermal management, optical control and high reliability drive electronics to maximise the benefits of LED technology in existing lighting applications such as architectural, road way and industrial lighting.

The thermal and electrical challenges at these power levels represent significant barriers to the wider adoption of LED technology.

The project aims to deliver a high reliability novel solution, yet remain focused on achieving a significant cost performance break-through.
