Xicato puts people in the spotlight with Beauty Series LED modules

New formulation brings out the natural and subtle beauty of human skin tones.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Xicato, a leading manufacturer of intelligent light sources, announces the immediate availability of new commercial LED modules that make people look good – and feel good about how they look. The Beauty Series was developed in partnership with leading lighting designers and cosmetology professionals, who were looking for a light source that is more effective at helping customers match cosmetic foundations to skin tones at cosmetics counters. The new product was not only superior in comparing skin tones, but people preferred how they looked. And when customers looked better, they felt better and more confident, which is desirable in many applications other than the cosmetics counter.

“So often, as lighting designers, we are looking for lighting that enhances the beauty of materials or objects, such as wood, brick, jewelry or tomatoes,” said Claire Hamill, lighting designer at Nulty+. “This is the first time we have looked at people as our primary subject. Accurate and flattering rendering of skin tones is a difficult challenge, because skin is such a rich and complex palette, consisting of many subtle shades. Our studies show that people feel good when they look good, and Beauty Series does this while also providing the clarity and enhanced contrast that facilitates color matching.”

The Beauty Series of LED modules was developed to support a collaborative study between University College London, Nulty+, Xicato, and a leading global cosmetics brand, and is backed by in-depth research and real-world trials. The object of the study was to get good color matching between cosmetic foundations and skin color, in order to improve customer satisfaction and reduce product returns. Returns are a problem not only for brand retailers, but also for department store owners, since the cosmetics concession typically takes in more revenue than all the other departments. Reducing returns from 10% to 5%, for example, would have a huge impact on profitability.

The trials – designed, implemented and analyzed by the University College London – tested a wide range of light sources with different spectral characteristics, including CCT, CRI, color balance and gamut. Consumers were placed in isolated areas with each light source, and surveyed as to how they felt, how they looked, which of three consultant-chosen shades best matched their skin, whether the product appealed to them, whether they would buy the product, etc. Xicato Beauty Series LED modules were developed over the course of the study to produce the best balance between beautiful, natural skin tones and color discrimination. On average, twice as many people in the study reported that their skin looked good, and that they felt good, under Beauty Series light, and 15% more people reported that foundation matched and appealed to their skin.

Managers and customers in cosmetics stores in which Beauty Series is installed have commented on how soft and natural the light feels, while at the same time making it easier to choose and apply makeup. There is no longer the need to accommodate workstations near windows or to walk outside for an accurate impression of makeup on skin.

“With our participation in independent application specific research, we were able to create a new formula, distinct from our Artist, Vibrant V80 and V95, and Standard Series products,” said Roger Sexton, VP of Specifier Service at Xicato. “Our Corrected Cold Phosphor Technology® gives us a unique ability to create a very precise spectral power distribution and achieve targeted illumination effects that meet the specific requirements of the application. Xicato guarantees unmatched color accuracy, and that the lit effect is consistent for many years. No other vendor has done this.”

Beauty Series is available today in Xicato’s XTM LED modules, with 19mm light emitting surface, and 1300 lumen and 2000 lumen output models. Lighting designers and system manufacturers should contact Xicato or their local distributors for samples and detailed information.

Classification of LED module

Standard classification methods of LED module : According to color ,it can be divided into single color、RGB and full color single point control ; single color means single lighting color module,usually red,green,yellow,white and so on usually colors ; RGB LED module is made up of seven different colors and changes during those 7 colors ,it has more colors and more changeable ; Comparing with RGB color module,the full color module is more colorful,it can realize the real “color changes”,not only include beautifulness,but also dynamic and more atractive.

According to single LED power,it can be divided into low power (below 0.3W),medium power ( 0.3-0.5W ),high power ( 1W and above ).high power module has higher brightness than low power ones ,as well as longer lifespan,it will be the development direction of LED lighting and will be more practical.

According to leakproofness,it also can be divided into waterproof and non-waterproof items.It is mainly depends on the application environment .,usually waterproof module was applied in outdoor lighting and publicity used ,it will not caused problem by water entered,your better choice for bad weather condition.For non-waterproof ,it mainly used in indoor place .Surely ,waterproof modules will be higher in price than non-waterproof ones.

Based on shape of LED,it can be divided into :DIP LED module,LED piranha module,SMD LED module.

LED modules advance in performance, standardization questions persist (MAGAZINE)

Many of the largest names in the LED industry now offer modular light engines, alongside specialty vendors that have nurtured the segment. In many cases, simplicity of system design drives solid-state lighting (SSL) manufacturers to utilize modules. But the module makers believe that the technology can also deliver superior performance, especially in areas such as color consistency. The unanswered question in the segment is whether the Zhaga Consortium standards will enable the vision of standardized interchangeable light engines that deliver benefits from the supply chain to field service/upgrade of luminaires.

SSL manufacturers face a shortlist of questions when considering whether to use a modular light engine in a product or to design their own light engine. If the module route is chosen, the development team must then decide whether to buy a module with an integrated driver, choose a separate off-the-shelf modular driver, or design their own. The other decision points include criteria such as modules that use phosphor-converted white LEDs or modules with blue-pump LEDs and remote-phosphor optics. And the last decision point is whether standardization and Zhaga are beneficial to the project. This article will discuss all of those questions.

First, let's address what qualifies as a module or modular light engine. The list includes products ranging from a circuit board with LEDs installed to more finished modules in an enclosure of some type. Modules are available for products ranging from streetlights to ceiling troffers to track heads and more. Modules can require tools and fasteners to attach into a fixture or in cases can be snapped or twisted into place.

Why modules?

Traditionally, modules have been thought of as a way to develop products faster in the electronics industry, whether the application at hand was a computer or an LED-based luminaire. In the SSL segment, larger Tier 1 companies have tended to design their own light engines for each product, whereas smaller companies were more likely to choose a module to hasten the development process.

The projected demand and cost of a product also comes into play. Paul Scheidt, product marketing manager at Cree, describes how that company offers customers three levels of engagement at the luminaire design level. When a company isn't sure a project can justify a custom design, Scheidt said that a module is a good option that reduces engineering cost upfront but might result in a slightly higher bill of materials (BOM) in the production phase.

Chip-on-board (COB) LEDs are easier to design into a custom light engine than individual emitters, according to Scheidt, and fall into a middle ground in terms of functionality and cost. Scheidt said that individual emitters properly applied generally perform the best, and in high-volume luminaire production they have the lowest BOM but the highest upfront engineering costs. Ironically, some people have the mistaken idea that COB LEDs produce more uniform light than individual emitters. While it's true that COB LEDs are easier to work with, you can better control the light with smaller sources when a product is designed properly.

GE Lighting reports that customers of its Infusion modules follow the traditional thinking thus far. John Koster, product manager for LED modules, said that Tier 1 customers generally find a module too expensive, although he admits that GE focuses on high-performing products more than low cost with Infusion. Koster said that GE has around 20 OEM customers for Infusion that he described as Tier 2 players in lighting.

Changing the decision point

Dave Lidrbauch, product marketing manager at Osram Sylvania, sees the justification changing for choosing the modular route. A key challenge for SSL manufacturers is the pace of change in LED components. Lighting manufacturers want to use the latest LEDs and deliver top efficacy. But the manufacturers also need to offer a product today, and a product two years from now that may use different LEDs, with both looking identical in terms of light output, color temperature, and CRI. Lidrbauch said that you can buy a module from Osram, and Osram will ensure the consistency in its next-generation module.

As for customers, Lidrbauch said Osram is shipping a module in high volume to a Tier 1 customer. Moreover, he said that Osram often works with a close luminaire partner in developing a new module, thereby assuming much of the risk in the design. He recounted one project where Osram had to change the LED being used in a module deep in the development cycle with the customer/partner counting on the module. But Lidrbauch said the process was transparent with the customer involved in the decision. And testing had revealed that the chosen LED would not deliver on the customer's performance requirements.

Therein lies another issue with light-engine design. The LED industry has made great progress with LED manufacturers performing LM-80 testing and providing TM-21 projections on lumen maintenance. But quite often, a development team will need to start a design before there are the 6000 hours of component testing in place required for an LM-80 report. Lidrbauch said, "Designs are almost always started before LM-80 is complete." Still, the latest LED technology promises the best efficacy, lifetime, and color and lumen maintenance. Lidrbauch's message is leave the light engine design to experts who do that job every day.

Effect for LED sign module in city

LED sign module is one kind of LED light source ,usually applied in channel letter、lighting signages、light box and so on advertising lighting .Under normal circumstances it will be used as back lights ! that makes LED sign modules very suitable for some display characters and signages. These characters and signages can not only shines but also take advertising effects . LED sign module not only  show it’s advantage at night time,but also during daytime.

There are single color、full color、RGB and single point color for LED advertising module,providing different choices for different customers. The higher power LED sign module,the higher brightness ,the longer operation time .These products has high brightness and big emitting angle ,fully played advertising effects,and the advertising details won’t be ignored by customers !

LED advertising module has better publicity effects than traditional advertising methods,higher visibility,the effects will be much more better when night falls.Using LED advertising module during night time ,it will shine like stars,people who are far away will be attracted to there,if with placard ,that needs to add some other additional lights so that it can be seen .this will cost more than LED advertising module ,more importantly,it cannot be seen in a longer distance,that will greatly reduce down the advertising effects.

To compete with industry competitors,you needs to choose LED advertising modules when your location is not as good as others,that will bring you a much more better advertising effects.

Craftly use signage backboard focus on signage effect

Signage backboard has optional features,it can help your customer optimize the appearance of signage character.these characters also be called backer board, saddle back board ,or simply , Signage backboard .

Generally speaking,signage backboard is a horizontal panel ,hanging behind the signage character,as setting off .Usually backboard will paint certain kind of color ,and usually will choose the color which can furthest highlights the signage color.

Although it was called “signage backboard”,it’s structure is not always rectangle.It can based on the requirements,custom,design and make to different profiles and colors.

From the application scope,signage backboard can be widely used in any type of signage characters.An usual application is reverse lighting signage character(since these backboard can provide ideal reflector),after installed backboard,the lighting signage character effects will be more clear.

Common panel design and application.

The main purpose for choosing backboard is to provide a vivid background color for signage.For example,when you installe them on the surface,it can form a higher vision,or make a vivid comparison to outer wall surface of actual buildings,then the signage backboard can be useful . A carefully choosed backboard can greatly increase the attraction of the entire signage board.

Secondly,another purpose for signage backboard is to cover the defects on building surface .For example, if too many and complicated colors on the outer wall ,that will effect the surface installed signage,especially after comparison and insolation .A signage backboard will solve all those problems.

Another situation ,add a backboard,the purpose is to cover( or hide ) some wall face.Even if it’s already blend with the door after painting,but it’s appearance will effect the entire feeling of the signage more or less .however,if installed the signage backboard behind the signage character,that can reduce the effect on signage appearance,so the problem can easily be solved.

Choosing material and color painting

Usually,signage backboard is made up of aluminum . It has some abvious advantages,such as light weight,high tensile intensity ,strong corrosion resistance,that’s why it can get widely popularity from clients.

In color painting ,so as to optimize the signage appearance,enhance the comparison effects with building outer wall ,usually signage backboard will get this purpose by optional color .

Consideration on cost

Additional cost of signage backboard mainly depends on project scale and signage character sizes.If backboards can be cutted from single 4×8 inches aluminum board,that can reduce some project costs.On the contrary,if need one more signage board when designing ( or need 5×10 inches spec backboard ),that will spend higher and additional costs.

How to enhance backboard effects.

As a matter of fact,custom painting color is not the only way to enhance backboard effect.Also can reach the purpose by using ethylene boards.Besides,another designing concept is signage backboard connect reverse signage frame .The layout can presents the totally different effects during daytime and evening,so as to increase deepen the impression.

Last suggestion on installing backboard: Don’t installe reverse lighting signage character on smooth signage backboard surface.Otherwise,it will appear “mirror image” on the surface,when sun shines,it will reflect LED lighting module or signage wiring,effect the entire effects.

It is abvious that this is not the ideal effects.In fact,if using reluster or satin light when installating reverse signage character on backboards,that can avoid every unwanted reflection,this effects will be much better.  

In all,signage backboard is an important part in signage design,choose a suitable signage backboard can enhance the visuality and exposure rate,increase the entire effects for signage.When using signage backboard ,if some details were noted,you will get the most profit by spend the lowest cost.

New Chevrolet Camaro with Interior LED Lights Debuts in Europe

The new Chevrolet Camaro is being unveiled for the first time in Europe at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. HELLA is providing a new kind of interior light concept for the iconic performance car, giving the interior a distinctive design. The color changes slowly throughout the vehicle in a subtle, flowing pattern from the center screen.

The ambient interior lighting plays a major role in the vehicle and is controlled from the first navigation level of the infotainment system. From here, the driver can either directly select 24 different colors, link the color of the interior lighting to the driving mode or activate "show mode."

For the first time ever, the color no longer changes in a static fashion. In other words, not all light guides change color at the same time; instead the change is dynamic. Starting from the center screen, the color change moves to the drinks holder and doors like a continuous strip, creating a unique experience for the driver.

What's more, the driver can link the interior lighting to the driving mode and for example, enjoy a gentle blue interior in "cruise mode." In "track mode" the interior lights up a strong orange and in "sport mode" a racy red. "Show mode" is a separate light show, which can be used in park mode and illuminates the interior in various color families in a defined order.

Another special technical highlight is the fact that all the colors in the interior are matched to one another despite the use of different materials. The light guide of the head-up display is surrounded by a gray cover, which in daylight fuses into the black cover of the dashboard. At night, however, the light has the same effect as the other light guides in the ambient interior lighting.

Calibration of the LED modules during the production process is more complex as a result. Not only do the LED colors have to be selected, but they also have to be sorted by intensity and brightness. The correction matrix produced for each individual LED chip also contains information about the material's color change. This color change was measured by the HELLA engineers during the development process so that exactly the same tone is achieved everywhere.

Not only is HELLA providing the lighting equipment for the Camaro, the company also developed the controls for this new interior concept. The software of the existing Ambient Lighting Control Module (ALCM) control unit was refined to be able to implement the different lighting scenarios in the interior.

As a special feature, parts of the lighting package can be retrofitted. For example, there are additional footwell lights for the vehicle models not fitted with the optional interior light package and the doors can be interchanged. The driver can then manually control the interior lighting with a control unit.

The project was carried out in the international HELLA network. The US site in Plymouth, Michigan and the interior lighting competence center in Wembach, southern Germany were responsible for project management and development. Development of the electronics was supported by the site in Dera Bassi, India and mechanical development involved HELLA Automotive Mexico. The light guides and control unit are also being produced in Mexico. The interior lighting site in Bratislava, Slovakia is handling LED module production and calibration.

LED light source developing trend and current situation

LED was used as lighting products in recent years,the most simple and direct applications is to replace bulb and fluorescent lamp.This can be accepted more easily.Besides,there are no abvious change on appearance and effect .Surely,with more and more personalized for lighting products today,lamps itself already becomes the quality index of light,however,the led module has so many advantages ,also come with some factors which customers doesn't find,like glare and costs.For the lighting structure which people familiar with,LED is different from traditional lamps in nature(like directivity).

if still coordinate with traditional lamp structures,their own specialty will be overwhelming.Now,there are led down lights and led bulb lights in the market,for the former,it needs to put light sources,the latter itself belongs to a light source.the question that we need think obout is :when installate a led bulb lights in traditional down light,can the light source which installted in led bulb lights be installated in downlight structure,the answer is clear yes.whatsmore,the cost effect also be more favorable than bulb lights.

but the question is ,when a non-standard lighting source structure putting into market,the customers cannot be replaced easily.So a difficult question for light source manufacturer is :what is the standard lighting source structure.encapsulation companies needs to be modular and standardization for light source,only that the cost can be optimize.

Packaged LED providers diversify into module market

 According to the latest research from IHS, Inc., leading suppliers of LED components are increasingly diversifying, in order to produce LED modules and light engines. Many companies, known only as packaged LED providers in the past, have expanded their product offerings, and are now also supplying LED modules. The competition in this market is particularly diverse, not only because suppliers are located all over the world, but also because of competition from companies with backgrounds in power devices and other backgrounds.

These suppliers are moving into the module market, in order to diversify their portfolio and protect against component LED profit margins potentially lowering further, as the packaged LED market becomes increasingly commoditized. With Chinese companies beginning to gain share, companies in the West and Korea (among others) are moving up the supply chain to minimize the effects of this competition. With modules and light engines becoming more common, there is a growing trend for lighting companies to purchase LED modules, rather than component-packaged LEDs, in order to shorten and simplify the supply chain; however, in-house production by lighting companies is still common and will remain so.

The combined market for LED modules and light engines in lighting applications is projected to reach $1.3 billion in 2014, according to the latest IHS “Next Generation Lighting” report. In addition to providing insight into modules and light engines, the report also features analysis of the emerging markets for LiFi, indoor positioning and OLED.

Which is the most profitable business--Luminous character

Luminous character

Which is the most profitable business?advertisement design is your best choice,many new stores opened everyday in every city,many annunciates and notifications needs to be published .New stores needs their AD signages,and none of them wants a same signages with other's,they want a more beautiful,more attractive signages,so they always spend more money on that.

For led AD modules,which kind effect is more active and attractive when publishing a notification or a annunciate ?channel letters is your best choice,our designed led lighting source module can reach IP67 on waterproof level,that's the level which the low price dripping module can't reached .just need to assembly the finished materials,a perfect and satisfied products was made , but how to attract customer ? price is the first attraction and biggest advantage ,second our lighting effect should be better ,clean but not dazzling,with an acceptable price,your product will be hot sales.

In general,Luminous character is the most profit business now.

The best carrier for outdoor commercial AD signages

    LED Sign Module

History for led technology is not long,the first red light led been produced in 1969 ,in 1970s,the low luminous effect led started to be used in indicator、numerical and character display.since 1990s,full color led display developed into a new star in global display media market ,it uses led made lattice module or pixel unit made big size display screen,adding high-tech like microelectronics、optoelectronics、information processing etc,it becomes the best carrier

for outdoor commercial AD signages.

LED AD module is kind of product which arrays the LED in a certain rules then packing ,adding some waterproof treatment .mainly used to display AD character(AD board,outdoor AD) and night signage effect ,it uses character or signages as media,installed at top of the building or wall surface.It can not only show the daytime effect ,but also showing another effect during night ,using led as lighting source .

LED panel is a kind of display screen which shows characters and videos by controlling semi-conductor led .mainly including graphic display screen and full color display screen with LED lighting application controlling system,doing a dynamic video control to the character and signages.In some entertainment places,LED lighting source module becomes the best way to show their images.

Production knack of punching module

Punching led module channel letter is a common AD character in our daily life,because of high hurricane resistant,high brightness,easy protection,it is a very popular products,so how does punching led module channel letters be made ? here i'd like to introduce the production knack.

First.Prepare the production tools :30w or 40w electric soldering iron、soldering tin、electric drill、glue gun、screw driver and so on;

Second.Prepare the material :Formed tin word、glass glue、resistor、cable、led module special used power supply;

Then start production ,detail procedure as below :

1) Drilling hole:Fixed the out sourcing tin word in a suitable direction ,drilling hole with electric drillings:5mm or 8mm,it depends on the height and production cost,usually the module center distance is 10-30mm,the shorter the distance,the better product and the higher cost;

2) Insert the lamp:Clean the well drilled hole and then arrange;

3) Connect the wire :First cascade, then in parallel with the power supply,the procedure maybe difficult,but no worry,

AD compaines already have ready-made led module string light which can be connected to wire,every light has it's reserved thread residue.Usually red ones connect to positive pole of the power supply,black ones connected to negative pole.

How about the performance of LED AD modules ?

LED AD modules can greatly dissipate the heat ,reduce the light dacay;aluminum board can bear the higher voltage,effectively reduce the power drop,ensure the brightness consistency of every module in the signages,to improve the product quality.

For the chip,we use big size,low light decay types;low power consumption、high brightness、five-year lifespan,free maintenance;using aluminum shells,not only beautiful but also with good heat-dissipation,reduce the light decay;using DC12V power supply,safe and reliable;aluminum board can prevent the fire and retard the flame; lamp beads with heat sinking ,effetively reduce the inner node temperature ;According to color,LED AD modules can be divided into single color ,RGB color and full color.The single color module means the module which only shines one color,like red、green、yellow、white etc ;RGB color module is one that can change the color between seven colors .Variability and more color are the biggest advantage;Comparing to RGB,full colr module is better ,it can realize the real color changes,not only amazing ,but also dynamic ,also more attractive.

YYH-----A Rising Star of AD Lighting Source Module Industry

Light source, as the lighting component of led modules and led strips, as well as the core component, it plays an important role in the quality of whole module. we mainly choose below core components: Cree,Osram, HP, Epistar, production process according to client’s requirement and provide inspection report. for the top shells, we use ABS+PC combo, double color injection machine process,the combined parts of ABC and PC was injected by high temperature ,waterproof level can reach IP67 or above. For bottom shell, we use ABS + high temperature resistance metal powder mixture. For the welding oftop and bottom shells, we use ultrasonic welding technology, the waterproof level can reach to IP67, verified certificates provided .We use international standard No.18 tinned wire which the cable quantity is 41,all modules use constant current ,that makes the light and modules works more steady .also we can print the logo as client’s required, adding our strict quality control system , we promise a 5--year warranty .

Maybe you are using Korea module since no trust on products from china. Actually module itself is a very simple product with no complicated circuit and many heat dissipation processes(because it’s not a high power product),you can see everything when split. For korea brand modules, they didn’t use aluminum base at all. Maybe you used to import led modules fromother china suppliers and caused many quality problems ,more importantly theydon’t have a right attitude on it. New products brought passions to those suppliers,they don’t even catch the essence of module, they earn high profitbut don’t use better material ,adding lack of production experience, as well as low factory threshold(several workers can open a factory). All these factors makesa bad module market in china before.

Along with more and more complaints from customers ,those china manufacturers began to realize their deficiency and stopped aimless production and develop their own new products, they’ve gotrapid progress no matter in appearance and performance,so currently the products which from the top china suppliers is not bad . we’ve been in industryfor years and know the situation of china module market very well, 2 korea brand module manufacturers are using our lighting source for years.

Current module structure in china market

Along with economic growth and development of AD industry,plenty AD signage products comes out,meanwhile it brings flourishing market for LED lighting source industry, thousands of AD light source products chocking up the goods shelf and lighting up any products sings.AD signages,indicators,lighting boxes,signages,Static and Dynamic display,AD machines etc.application areas from individual household to commercial bank;Fromlandmark indicator to controlling center display;From doorplate display,channeldisplay,jewelry display to construction profile ,airport,railway station,supermarket and so on different places.
There are nothing else than 2 structure modules:
First one uses dripping technology,materials includes:PVC module shell,PC board,lamp beads,cable,glue,resistance,solder paste.Stick the beads and resistance on PCB,using chip mounter;Then bonding wire and connect the cable on two PCB ends,put PCB on the PVC bottom shell,dripping epoxy resin,last step spontaneous curing.
The second one is so-called “injection module”.Sames as dripping module,difference is that it sends a PCB(with cable and beads)into injection molding machine,then wrap with PVC or ABS.
For the dripping module,the module seems fully wrapped the PCB,in fact it will result gap between epoxy resin and other arts,because of below reasons:quality of epoxy resin,operation time,environment of the material which contacted by epoxy resin,will work longer time if good waterproof function.If working under high moisture ,high temperature or raining place for long time,maybe the lifespan of the module will not exceed 3months,so structure is important;Besides,another reason is that it’s incompatible between epoxy resin and beads used silicone ，if any redundant contact when production,it will result vulcanized in the coming future so that the module cannot work regularly.In all this kind structure module ,will stop working because of structure probloem when high temperature,high moisture or a vulcanized place .
Comparing to dripping module,injection module will be easier in production controlling and it can change the viewing angle by lens ,in order to apply to different AD products.They have the same short comings with dripping modules,if any QC problem,the waterproof function will begreatly reduced,adding complicated production procedure ，low production efficiency,it rather difficult to be a eligible controller,even if comes good products,the price will be extremely expensive.
So in china,if any customer complaints happens,it will end up with nothing definites,since it’s decided by material,technology and production efficiency etc.Every supplier sold their products with margin.So among those china module manuacturers,the product wasnot so quality,because of their management level ,different kind of materialetc….
