September 20, 2004... STG Beikirch GmbH announces first key project through its Luxeon Solution Centre and Honeywell Airport Systems Windpower turbine lights
BEST, THE NETHERLANDS -- STG Beikirch GmbHs Luxeon Solution Centre in Germany has won a key project with Honeywell Airport Systems, Wedel, to manufacture the light source of Honeywell Airport Systems` new design of next generation obstruction lights.
The project sees Lumileds Luxeon LEDs applied to Honeywell-specified PC-boards in the new obstruction lights, which will be fitted to the top of windpower turbines located along coastlines and other suitable areas throughout Europe.
Mr Kobi, research and development, responsible for the optical part of the new obstruction light of Honeywell Airport Systems, said: The Luxeon Solution Centre provided us with a customised service to develop our light solution, assisting us to find the optimum design of PCBs for The Luxeon LEDs play a key role in the creation of these new obstruction lights, providing us with a high power, durable light source that has already proved extremely successful.
Using only 30 watts per light, each obstruction light incorporates 28 Luxeon LEDs with wide-angle optics to achieve a minimum of 170 candela light intensity at a 360 deg; angle, ensuring that the new German regulations for night marking of wind turbines are met.
Frank Harder, Lumileds Sales Manager for Germany, said: By working with the Luxeon Solution Centre, Honeywell has created a unique obstruction light that performs in the most extreme elements. Rather than just providing the LEDs and installation advice, the Luxeon solution centre worked with Honeywell to contribute to the development of an obstruction light solution that will last for years, while meeting the strict safety requirements.
This is the first major project for the Luxeon Solution Centre and through a combination of investment in training and support, we are confident that a growing number of companies will select to work with such a centre to create custom designed LED solutions for their markets.
The STG Beikirch Luxeon Solution Centre was established to develop Luxeon based solutions for any market, providing a one-stop shop for the design assistance of cutting-edge solutions. Lumileds has invested in advanced training for the centre, providing specialist Luxeon trainers to ensure STG Beikirch staff can maximise the potential for enhanced, individual business solutions.
Ralf Boing, STG Beikirch GmbH Sales Manager said: In the current market a growing number of companies are recognising the long term value and business opportunities that exist from working with an advanced solution. The Luxeon Solution Centre gives that strength to business, allowing them to The Honeywell project reflects just what can be achieved. It has been a collaborative experience, with each company bringing their own expertise, and we are proud to be associated with Honeywell, Lumileds and such an innovative obstruction light Solution.
