Seoul Semiconductor LED successfully entered the US Department of Energy's Zero Energy Building Research Alliance project

Seoul Semiconductor Ac ric he LED s successfully applied in the residential project of Oak Ridge National Laboratory

The researchers will monitor two homes with Acriche LEDs and compact fluorescent lamps, and reveal LED lighting trends through comparative data analysis.

September 25, 2010 - China News - Seoul Semiconductor, the world's leading LED supplier (legal representative: Li Yuxun, con.com) announced that the company's LED solutions have been successfully applied to Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Oak Ridge National Laboratories ZEBR Alliance project. Through this project, Seoul Semiconductor will show the public the advantages of LED lighting in home lighting applications compared to traditional incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs.

The Zero Energy Building Alliance (ZEBRAlliance) project was co-sponsored by Schaad LLC, the Tennessee Valley Management Board, the US Department of Energy, and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The project assesses the energy consumption of two homes in the field and reveals the role of energy-saving technologies in building energy efficiency to study how to reduce the load on existing grids and reduce dependence on non-renewable energy sources. In this two-year project, researchers will closely monitor data on energy consumption, lighting quality, and maintenance requirements for the two homes. One of the residential lighting systems uses the Seoul Semiconductor Acriche LED solution, while the other uses a compact fluorescent solution.

Seoul Semiconductor Acriche LED is a unique solid-state lighting solution. Compared with most other solid-state lighting solutions, Acriche LEDs do not need to convert AC power to DC power, and can be directly driven by AC power, which is more energy-efficient and economical. Therefore, in the zero-energy building alliance project, not only the Acriche LEDs are used in the energy-saving home display area, but also the home new trend display area.

In addition, LEDs are much more durable than conventional bulbs, producing more than five times the brightness per watt of power than ordinary incandescent bulbs, saving up to 86% in energy. At the same time, the color quality of LED lights is much better than traditional light bulbs. Seoul Semiconductor will continue to improve Acriche's performance to double its lumens by the end of the year.

Seoul Semiconductor will further expand its market share of LED lighting solutions by citing data from Acriche House, the home of Acriche LEDs used above. The name "Acriche" is a combination of the Greek words "Acro" and "Rich", of which "Acro" means high-end craftsmanship and "Rich" means rich. This name also indicates that Seoul Semiconductor is committed to the mission of bringing high quality of life to its customers with leading lighting technology.

Seoul Semiconductor has 5,500 patents including Acriche related technologies. Acriche's patented technology is capable of connecting multiple light-emitting units in a single chip and operating under AC power and high-voltage DC power, which greatly simplifies the application design of LEDs and promotes the development of many applications such as LED TV backlights and solid-state lighting.

Mr. Brian Wilcox, Vice President of North American Sales of Seoul Semiconductors said: “The ZEBRAlliance project has opened a new era of home lighting. The US Congress has indicated that it will force the elimination of incandescent bulbs by 2014; European countries have also taken corresponding measures last year to ban sales. Incandescent bulbs exceeding 100 watts. Consumers' awareness of LED lighting efficiency and energy saving advantages is gradually increasing, and the LED market will continue to grow steadily."

He also said: "By participating in this project, we not only demonstrate the determination to continuously promote the development of LED, but also further consolidate the position of market leaders."
