Hive Lighting has just launched 3 of the coolest looking plasma fixtures at the NAB show in Las Vegas. Full spectrum, long life AND energy efficienct. Congratulations to Jonathan, Robert and the Hive team! We look forward to watching movies and ads lit with LEP. Visit them at http://www.hivelighting.com/.Continue Reading

Plasma Planet has just learned of an interesting application for LEP lighting in the Mid-Western United States. The problem has been vandalism and interference on electrical grid infrastructure, especially those out of the way units where surveillance can be more challenging. The combination of ‘white light’ for better surveillance and ‘long life’ for low maintenance Continue Reading

Seiler, a leader in precision microscopy, launched a dentistry microscope using LUXIM’s plasma light source that is 3x the brighter and much lower power consumption than LED and halogen alternatives. See the youtube video demonstration to see the dramatic difference in color rendering between the plasma system and the older metal halide system. We are Continue Reading

San Francisco’s Aquarium of the Bay (@AquariumOTheBay) uses LEP sources to highlight their aquariums and sea life. Plasma light sources penetrates water and provides a natural look much better than compared to fluorescent and metal halide alternatives. In addition, LEP aquarium fixtures can be designed to provide adjustable color temperature for different plant life and Continue Reading

Luxim’s IP portfolio in plasma technology and applications are growing day by dayContinue Reading

Plasma Planet has learned of another exciting, if somewhat intimidating LEP installation. In this case, LEP is being used to improve perimeter fence lighting at a Correctional Facility. The installation was done by Straylight Optical Technologies using their Tesla II luminaire equipped with an LEP-STA-4101 from LUXIM. Once again, the incumbent technology was 400W HPS Continue Reading

It was a real honor last week to see LUXIM recognized by the IES for the second year in a row. Below is the mission statement of the IES Progress Committee: “The Committee’s mission is to keep in touch with developments in the art and science of lighting throughout the world and prepare a yearly Continue Reading

We have just finished an installation in the loading area of a steel mill. The installation saves the mill money in four ways: – Lower energy costs: The energy efficient LEP light source reduces the lighting energy bill by 40%. – Lower maintenance costs: The 50,000 hour life reduces maintenance (Important when units are 50 Continue Reading

Plasma Planet has learned of a new LEP installation in Sochi, Russia. The area lighting installation was used to showcase plasma technology at a recent tradeshow attended by key decision makers from throughout Russia. The installation replaced High Pressure Sodium with Light Emitting Plasma LEP-STA4101 units from LUXIM. The LEP units deliver an energy saving Continue Reading
