Now then, here’s a supplier all the way from China, offering a host of optoelectronics products. Zhongshan Silsmart Optoelectronics Co. Ltd., based in Zhongshan, Guangdong province in mainland China, is offering a host of optoelectronics products at the China Sourcing Fair in Hong Kong. Some of the products being offered by them include LEDs, white LEDs, high-power LEDs, LED displays, LED lights/cluster lamps, LED strips, LED tubes, etc. Model S06W71C-1 is a white-rectangle LED that can be used for automotive exteriors, illumination accessories and electrical appliances. The 5R41W46C-GA is a durable white LED with intensity from 6,000 to 15,000 mcd. The 1R41W64C-5A is a 10-mm superbright white lamp with intensity of 3,000 to 20,000 mcd. The company is offering two other white LEDs – the JM-60W 60-degree pure-white LED lamp for checking photos as well as the JMH-2057AW white LED modules for outside display. Zhongshan Silsmart Optoelectronics actually has a long list of LED products – but I will mention only a few of those. Model HI-FLUX-R1 is a quality LED for automotive lighting, which can be used for Audi, Skoda, Opel and Jaguar. I am actually hoping that an Indian automobile manufacturer has a look at this particular model and picks it up for one of the Indian-made automobiles! Another thing: It is quite interesting to find a lot of suppliers across Asia offering LEDs that can be now used for automotive, photography and decorative applications. We have come a long way since the days of LEDs being merely used for fancy toys, fancy lighting and torches. Yet another model – the 8R35G71C-1A – is an 8-mm round-type green LED lamp for traffic signals. This is interesting! Perhaps this can surely find some use in India, unless such products are already being used for traffic signals in our country. Zhongshan Silsmart Optoelectronics claims to have over 15 years of experience in LED manufacturing, R&D and marketing. Its product line covers various LED components, LED landscape decorative lighting products, and display apparatus with CE and RoHS approvals. Products are exported to North America, western Europe and Australasia, with annual sales volume exceeding $5 million. Silsmart Optoelectronics provides OEM services as well. There’ll be a lot more of such stuff coming up next! PradeepOct. 23, 2009
