Lumileds opens Shanghai office to support solid-state lighting development

LED maker Philips Lumileds of San Jose, CA, USA has opened a new office in Shanghai that is being staffed with an applications team and market specialists to provide direct and local access to support for the growing number of firms in China developing solid-state lighting (SSL) solutions.

Lumileds says that, by providing optical, thermal and electrical LED design expertise, it will further support rapid development and market entry for new LUXEON LED-based products.

“No company has a longer history of working with power LEDs than Philips Lumileds and, through application assistance for our customers, we continue to support the overall SSL market expansion,” says Steve Barlow, executive VP of sales & marketing.

“We appreciate the continued investment in people and resources that Philips Lumileds is bringing to the China SSL market and industry,” comments Wu Ling, secretary of the China Solid State Lighting Alliance (CSA).

The new office complements an engineering and design center operated by Lumileds’ partner Future Lighting Solutions. Using optical, thermal and mechanical design and test equipment, Lumileds says that the staff can help to reduce development times, provide technical knowledge and training, and help customers deliver more reliable and efficient lighting solutions. Lumileds also maintains customer application support teams in San Jose and in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
