Luxeonic Star - Cheap Malaysian Ripoff??

Interesting to note that on their home page they claim to be a "Manufacturer of luxeon LED's" and that "Luxeon ..led lighting..lasts for 100,000hrs or

Presumably the Philips/Hewlett Packard 'Lumileds' venture is just a front and the devices Lumileds offers are all bought-in products. Maybe, however, since in the luxeonics world there are only 100,000 hrs in

Impressively luxeonics leds 'save 95% of power compare to incandescents'. Assuming a typical TH incandescent at 20 lumen per watt, a 95% power saving gives efficacies of 400 lumen per watt for their luxeon leds.

Eat your heart out HID manufacturers - no longer can you gloat at your world beating 200lm/W figures.

Lumileds claim a mere 30lm/watt for their 'copy' luxeons I believe.

I just wonder why, being the world manufacturer of luxeon leds, they show pictures of (mainly) compact fluorescent tubes on their home page.

Yes - 'tis odd.

hi, i have actually seen the genuine luxeon leds and the cheaper type of luxeon leds, both say 1 watt, but the genuine luxeon is DEFINATELY brighter than the copies,. mark k

All - Luxeonics is not associated with Lumileds Lighting, nor are they the manufacturer of Luxeon LEDs. Lumileds is the sole manufacturer of Luxeon LEDs (Luxeon I, Luxeon III and Luxeon V). Luxeon LEDs are available through Future Electronics.

Actually it's even worse than that, since 100,000 hours is equal to only

Anyone remember the Korean camera maker, "Olympos"? Rather similar to the Japanese brand "Olympus".

I hadn't heard of that one. But a neighbor had a pest repeller that they had in the kitchen for a few years, and they said it didn't work for cockroaches. So they gave it to me. I opened it up and it was full of cockroach droppings - they loved the warm insides. Basically it was a 555 osc driving a tweeter. The name on the circuit board was "PANASONY". I'm still wondering about that one!
