  • PicoLED: The World Smallest LED

    by koibito on Jan 26, 2007 | No Comments

    ROHM has recently completed development of an ultra-compact LED featuring both the smallest volume and area in the world. The SML-P12 series (PicoLEDTM) is ideally suited for devices requiring thin, compact components, such as mobile phone keypads, small dot-matrix units, and compact seven-segment display devices. PicoLED has been announced two days ago and it will [...]

  • LED Grow Master – The Future of Plant Lighting

    by koibito on Nov 11, 2006 | No Comments

    Emitting 100% Plant-Absorbed-Light, LED Grow-Master Gro-Bars use a patented blend of LEDs, to produce only colors of light that plants need to grow. Costing up to $135.00 per month to operate, high-wattage HID lighting systems produce only 25% visible light, the rest is invisible heat, and only ½ an HIDs visible light is actually absorbed [...]

  • (LED) Lighting up the World

    by koibito on Oct 19, 2006 | No Comments

    While trekking in Nepal in 1997, Dave Irvine-Halliday was struck by the plight of rural villagers having to rely on smelly, dim and dangerous kerosene lanterns to light their homes. Hoping to make a difference, Dr Irvine-Halliday, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Calgary in Canada, founded the Light Up The World [...]

  • LXCL-PWT1 White PWT – Lambertian

    by koibito on Jun 01, 2006 | No Comments

    Luxeon® Portable PWT light sources deliver bright, long-lasting white light from a very small package. This emitter generates 26 lumens of light at 350mA from a package that is only 2.0 x 1.6 x 0.7mm. The LED offers a 2,000 hour lifespan with uniform white light produced by Lumileds patented conformal coating process. Luxeon® Portable [...]

  • BION – between non-living and living matter

    by koibito on May 02, 2006 | No Comments

    “Bion” is an interactive installation that explores the relationship between humans and artificial life. “Bion” makes reference to an individual element of primordial biological energy identified as orgone by the scientist Wilhelm Reich.The installation is composed of hundreds of mass-produced, 3-dimensional glowing and chirping sculptural forms. Each bion, measuring approximately 4x3x2 ½ inches is an [...]
