they are cheaper in construction terms

Samsung is reported to release a series of ultra-flexible phones which packed in flexible OLED displays that can be twisted and folded, at some point during 2013.The company claims this new type of led high bay light, harder to break, and generally superior in every way to current glass-based panels.The firm is reportedly on the verge of rolling out mass production of the devices after years of speculation.The predicted growth is mainly driven by the rising importance of energy efficiency across sectors and the increasing demand for wireless lighting controls.The demand for lighting control systems is growing across various building types, such as airports, factories, hospitals and railway stations. Advances in R&D and manufacturing have enabled the introduction of numerous innovative lighting control products.

The popularity of wireless lighting control systems is increasing as they are cheaper in construction terms, and easier to set up, as no modification to existing structures is required. Patterns suggest that wireless control systems are set to overtake wired control systems in sales.Ballasts account for the largest portion of the lighting controls market, and the advent of electronic ballasts and the subsequent dip in price, coupled with their energy efficiency resulted in markets swaying in favour of electronic ballasts.Currently, Europe is the largest regional lighting controls market worldwide. It is closely followed by the USA, with Asia-Pacific offering the highest growth potential due to an increase in construction activity and mandatory government policies that require the incorporation of green technologies and adherence to various energy efficiency standards.

Speaking to reporters here showcasing Light Next ? an interactive lighting experience centre, Nirupam Sahay, president at Philips Lighting said, the growth drivers from the segment are the decline in LED prices, investment by government in energy efficient lighting systems and the quick return on investment (ROI).According to him, Philips is uniquely positioned in the LED lighting segment across the spectrum and the company commands 30 percent market share in the domestic lighting segment.For infrared sensor applications in mobile devices, Everlight announces its latest innovative led flood light which combines an ambient light and proximity sensor with an integrated IR transmitter in a compact DFN package. To optimize the sensitivity, the package includes a lens which was designed based on a highly precise optical simulation with 1 million light rays to produce an accurate model.
