LEDs Newsletter | October 6, 2010

Welcome to the LEDs Magazine weekly newsletter for October 6, 2010.

Last week was extremely busy in the LED world, with a flood of news and several events including our own Strategies in Light Europe conference. Among the things we learned was that the LED market is expected to grow by 68% in 2010.

This week and next week, the online BrightSpots LED discussion forum will discuss various questions related to LED manufacturing, cost and performance. Your participation is very welcome.

Also, be sure to read more about our two new Webcasts. The first discusses Alternative LED driver solutions for a 24-inch T8 tube light and is available now, on demand, while the second, entitled Ingress protection for lighting products: IP- vs UL-rated for wet locations, is scheduled for November 3, 2010.

As always, please use our online form to upload your press releases and product information.
