CAMPTON HILLS When Mark Christensen first moved to his St. Charles home 30 years ago, he could see the Milky Way albeit faintly from his backyard.

You cant do that anymore, the Fox Valley Astronomical Society member said.

Christensen chalks the disappearing night sky up to too much development but said the situation isnt hopeless in Kane County with some effort.

Nearby Campton Hills is making that effort.

Five years after voters said they wanted the village to consider adopting a dark sky light ordinance, Campton Hills leaders have drafted a responsible outdoor lighting ordinance for new construction.

The Plan Commission recommended approval of the ordinance in January, but the Village Board has yet to act on the document. Village President Patsy Smith said last week that trustees are waiting for it to be reviewed by a professional.

Although the proposed ordinance is 18 pages, it can be summed up in three sentences:

Shine the light where you need it.

Dont use any more light than you need.

Turn off the lights when you dont need them.

Keeping the lighting low in Campton Hills

CHICAGO, Littelfuse, Inc., the global leader in circuit protection, has introduced two product lines designed specifically to provide transient overvoltage protection for outdoor and commercial LED lighting fixtures. Constructed with Littelfuse thermally protected Varistors, the LSP05 and LSP10 Surge Protection Device (SPD) Modules provide robust surge current handling capability. A built-in thermal disconnect function provides additional protection from catastrophic failures and fire hazards, even under the extreme circumstances of Varistor end of life or sustained overvoltage conditions. Applications include outdoor and commercial LED lighting, including roadway lighting, traffic lighting, digital signage, service entrance lighting, parking garage/lot lighting, flood lighting, tunnel lighting, and street lighting.

The LSP05 Module is configured with parallel connections. The LSP10 Module is available with either parallel or series connections; the series-connected version of the LSP10 is the worlds first indicating surge arrestor capable of handling surges of up to 20,000 amps used for outdoor LED applications. With the parallel-connected versions, an indicator wire can activate an LED to tell maintenance personnel when to replace the SPD in order to ensure the luminaire remains protected. The LSP10 series-connected version cuts luminaire power off to provide a clearly visible indication the SPD should be replaced.

Municipalities and property owners make a significant investment when they replace legacy lighting with LED lighting, so they have high expectations for reliability, said Johnny Chang, product manager for the LSP05 and LSP10 product lines. The LSP05 and LSP10 are designed to protect these lighting fixture investments from damage due to surge events and reduce maintenance costs by providing a real-time indication when the SPD module needs to be replaced.

The LSP05 and LSP10 Surge Protection Modules offer these key benefits: These optimized surge immunity solutions protect outdoor LED fixture investments with maximum lightning surge current ratings of 20,000A (LSP10) and 10,000A (LSP05). Internal varistors are thermally protected to prevent failure due to end-of-life or continuous overvoltage faults. Clear indication of SPD replacement prevents future surge damage to luminaire. IP66 water-proof and dust-proof design allows for flexibility in outdoor installation locations, inside or outside of luminaire, top or bottom at lighting pole, in transformer box or on distribution panel. Indication wire options make it easy to implement an indicating/monitoring circuit for SPD replacement. These devices are recognized to meet UL1449 Type 4 Component Assembly requirements and are compliant with IEC 61643-11 Class II and EN 61643-11 Type 2, so they are suitable for use in LED lighting fixtures around the world. Their compact form factor (48x48x30mm) makes them easy to mount inside a luminaire; mounting tabs simplify installation and replacement.

Availability The LSP05 and LSP10 Surge Protection Modules are available in bulk pack. Sample requests can be placed through authorized Littelfuse distributors worldwide. For a listing of Littelfuse distributors, please visit Littelfuse.com.

For More Information Additional information is available on the LSP05 Module Series product page and datasheet and the LSP10 Module Series product page and datasheet. If you have technical questions, please contact: Johnny Chang, Product Manager, jchang@littelfuse.com.

Surge Protection Modules suit LED lighting applications.

One name that comes to mind when thinking about lighting solutions is Philips (PHG). The company, with a broad range of services under its belt, is also a leader in providing lighting solutions. With the paradigm shift in lighting solutions over the years and users embracing LED lights for it innumerable benefits, Phillips is exploring LED lighting solutions as it was an established brand that provided turnkey light solutions for home and industrial segments, not forgetting its solutions for outdoor lighting.

Financial analysts believe that the LED penetration rate will reach 70% by 2020, but looking at the exponential growth and demand for LED lights, this can grow much faster. Various research estimates foresee the growth of LED chips to be at a rate of 1.9% and possibly reaching $12.74 billion year-end 2014, and the Global LED lighting market size reaching $25.82 billion in 2014 with a market penetration of 23.4%. This market size is certainly benefiting a market leader like Phillips which has been a pioneer in providing lighting solutions globally.

The company posted strong earnings in its recently declared fourth quarter 2013 results. It recorded revenue of $9.3 billion, up by 7% year over year. The net income reported was $580 million (412 million) as against the loss of 420 million in the same quarter last year. The phenomenal increase in the income was largely due to lower restructuring and acquisition-related charges.

The company has segmental revenue streams that are comprised of consumer lifestyles, health care and lighting divisions. LED lighting that is part of the lighting division of the company witnessed a growth of 48% year over year and now LED represents 34% of the total lighting sales.

Philips has been giving tough competition to its nearest competitor like Cree as it lays a focused expansion strategies to acquire a bigger market share in LED lighting. The company, which was more focused in the high-power LED market, is now eyeing the mid-power LED to attain a wider market share in 2014. The company launched LUXEON 3020 last month to tap the mid-power LED lighting market.

The LUXEON 3020 emits over 1000 lumens per dollar and it aims a wider adoption of LED enabled lighting as it is most affordable. This was a much awaited launch by Philips LED fixtures that included lamps and troffers, this sets an impetus for Philips in the commercial lighting for the mass market.

Synergy That Will Further Boost Philips Growth

A synergistic tie-up between two European giants Philip and ABB will enable Philips to use its LED expertise and ABBs automation knowledge. This fusion evolved to the new generation of LED lighting solutions mainly for commercial LED lighting solutions. It will provide seamless solutions by integrating connected lighting systems with device control for commercial light solutions in buildings and also industrial LED lighting solutions.

The connected lighting system provided by Philips with a software interface provided by ABB provides all ability to control commercial lightingseamlessly. This integrated solution will find an extended market for Philips in commercial LED lightings like shopping complexes, hotels, office buildings, etc.

Philips - Lighting the World with LED

After months of being practically being held hostage indoors thanks to a seemingly never-ending barrage of snow and cold, temperatures have risen at long last.

Isnt it great to feel warm weather breezes and cool (rather than absolutely freezing!) rainfall?

With so much time spent inside, its also wonderful to be able to get outside and soak up all the sunshine. Thats why you should be looking into outdoor furniture.

After all, you can lounge outdoors and enjoy the sunny weather just as easy as stare at it from inside your home. And if you have the space and the option to jazz up your outdoor space, you should strongly consider doing so.

There are some great outdoor trends that you should be aware of when it comes to outdoor furniture. Weve come a long way since a simple gazebo and lawn chair.

Bright And Earthy Tones Dominate

When you think of earthy tones, dont assume the dull browns and olive greens are what are the rage. Think bright colors: Lime greens, sky and baby blues, and bold espresso browns.

Bright colors are also a good for making small spaces seem larger than they are.

If you arent interested in sticking to greens, blues, or browns, there are other bright colors to make any space pop. Think yellows and oranges. For a more feminine touch, light purples and pinks are always a good idea.
