Celsia Technologies (OTC: CLST) has been chosen by Taiwanese based United Innovation to cool the company's 9-, 11-, and 13-watt LED spotlights. Each of these spotlights include a combination of United's unique multi-chip LED package along with Celsia's patented NanoSpreader vapor chamber.
"We are particularly excited to be working with United Innovation as I believe our two companies share the same engineering and design philosophy," explained Joseph Formichelli, Celsia's CEO. "Both entities are committed to improving the performance and reliability of existing technologies while at the same time lowering cost."
United's spotlights are designed to use the company's proprietary flip-chip LED package which combines dozens of LEDs into a single high-brightness, low-cost solution. Meanwhile, Celsia has improved upon expensive, heavy vapor chamber thermal technology by reinventing its performance, weight, and cost characteristics to dissipate heat faster and at a lower cost than other alternatives.
Both companies hope to capitalize on what is predicted to be hyper-growth of the LED general lighting market during the coming years and have already begun exploring streetlight and downlight applications where NanoSpreaders can be used.
"Poorly designed thermal management solutions are a killer for LEDs as both luminosity and lifespan are decreased," added Tony Shen, United's CTO. "We believe that by combining Celsia's thermal solution with our flip-chip LED packages, United can offer some of the best cooled, most reliable, and lowest cost LED lighting products in the market."
LED spotlights using NanoSpreaders are available now from United Innovation in Asia, North America, and Europe. Visit United Innovation to learn more about the company's products at http://uninnov.com/
