Wavien, Inc. will be demonstrating the latest advance in LED lighting using its proprietary Premien(TM) LED Recycling Technology.
Wavien's 5,000-lumen system combines seven independent LEDs. "Wavien's Premien LED recycling technology offers outstanding brightness by recovering high angle light from the LED that is normally wasted with traditional LEDs," stated Dr. Kenneth Li, President and CEO of Wavien, Inc., who is also the inventor of the recycling technology. Dr. Li added: "This unique design enables LED-based products to be able to increase total brightness by over 80%."
This performance improvement is provided by adding a reflector with an aperture to the standard LED package. The diameter of the opening, which determines the amount of recycling, can be scaled to meet the user's needs. The Wavien demonstration uses a series of seven single LED chips that are symmetrically arranged. This relatively compact array produces over 5,000 lumens and allows for LED-based lighting to move to the next level. "Clearly, applications that we previously reserved for traditional lamp-based platforms are now open to the benefits of very bright LEDs," stated Dr. Li.
