CEA-Leti is working with NEOLUX to manufacture LED modules as part of a major LED lighting initiative in France.
The three-year project, known as MODULED, aims to commercialise the production of smart LED systems in France.
Leti’s LED lighting work has focused on the issues of thermal management, light extraction and wavelength conversion.
“LEDs offer unparalleled possibilities to integrate new features beyond their energy efficiency,” said Laurent Malier, Leti CEO.
“I am convinced that we are at the dawn of a generation of ‘intelligent’ lighting objects that is similar to what we saw happening in communications products 10 years ago,” said Malier.
The partnership will give NEOLUX, which conceives and commercializes LED lighting solutions, access to the project’s first qualified product.
"The next generation of LEDs will react with their environment, the lighting of the space and the presence of a person, and the lighting envelope will assure heat dissipation,” said Ludovic Labidurie, CEO of NEOLUX.
“Our project will take advantage of these changes to develop a new generation of intelligent LED systems,” said Labidurie.
NEOLUX, is based in La Chapelle Vendômoise, where it has research and engineering offices and a photometry laboratory.
