RE: My interest is in the potential of LEDs to eventually replace incandescent and fluorescent lighting as the LEDs are more efficient and have life of about 100,000 hours ! Any interest out there? Yes! Actually, an old friend is heading the HWP/Phillips division to bring these to fruition and another friend does much of the Labs work on efficient emitters. Not sure I can add much. It is already a big deal in street traffic lights and truck warning lights... I think HWP was growing their III-V material but we were looking at taking internal LED designs and farming them out to Asia for fab to lower costs when I was there (Left 7 months ago - semi retired). HWP is pretty diversified... 8) kirk out
