This is the 1st FREE Webinar in our brand NEW 2016 Smart Cities Series. We have started a new series of Webinars to highlight the innovative Smart City Technology now coming to market and the cities implementing it. We discuss the future of Smart Lighting with of one of the world’s leading innovators in LED lighting technology, Plessey Semiconductors and are joined by Plessey’s CEO Michael LeGoff and CTO/COO Dr Keith Strickland.

GaN on Silicon – Inherent Unique Selling Points
• Better Thermal Performance that provides 3 degrees of leverage
• Lower LED operating temp Higher reliability
• Simpler heat sink Lower system cost
• Higher drive current cost down through more lumens per die area
• Improved Hot-Cold factor
• Focussed light emitting surface (smaller etendue)
• Surface emitter V.S. volume emitter: How “spread out” the light is
• Simpler and lower cost optical system
• Better lm/W maintenance when scaling up die size
• Better uniformity
• Better process control for target wavelength
• Higher wavelength binning yield Lower cost for LEDs with tight
binning requests
• Sharper wavelength peak for big die
• Better colour control for a high power LED
