The South Korean chaebol LG Electronics and Osram are squaring up to each other - in suits and coutersuits - over the issue of LED headlights...You see, once upon a time LG was late to the LED patent game, and was content to fork over the cash to Osram for use of its tech. Skip to now, and the electronics giant's claiming it can get its lighting goods elsewhere, picking from a plethora of relevant IP-holding companies and combining that with its own patents.
Buckingham-based Wipac has designed the LED headlamp in Bentley's 2011 Mulsanne, writes Steve Bush. The light is not all all-LED. Instead, eight power LEDs boost main beam mode from twin bi-xenon projectors.Oxley Developments has been selected to supply a dual-mode LED lighting system for the Foxhound British army patrol vehicle, writes Steve Bush.
Foxhound is the British Army name for Ocelot, the Light Protected Patrol Vehicle (LPPV) designed and developed by Force Protection Europe.
Force Protection Europe has won a contract to supply 200 of the British-designed vehicles to the Ministry of Defence.
Lumileds has announced a four die LED for automotive headlights, writes our Technology Editor Steve Bush.

Ian Bryant
Ian Bryant is Business Development Manager LED Division at Carclo Technical Plastics. He has worked on and off at Carclo (Formerly Combined Optical Industrial) since leaving school. He has worked through the company from Toolmaking to starting the company on the road of LED optics business some 6-7 years ago, starting with a standard range and more in line with the business of custom optics. In between all this he has worked in engineering and as a works Director for a hydraulics company but kept getting pulled back to the optics industrial. We are able to offer the full solution from idea to parts so have a very good understanding on what is needed. You will see some posts from our design team also under my name.
