Allentown Mayor Pawlowski joined the Local Chinese Community Networking Event

Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski stopped by the New China Buffet on the S. 4th street Monday evening to attend a social networking event organized by the East Penn Chinese American Chamber of Commerce (EPCACC) and sponsored by the New China Buffet and Andromeda LED Lighting. The event was attended by Chinese American families from around the Lehigh Valley area. The President of the EPCACC, Mr. Bo Yang, welcomed Mayor Pawlowski and introduced him to the audience. The chair of the EPCACC Board, Tai-Yin Huang, acted as a facilitator and translator for Mayor Pawlowski.

“It’s an honor to be here”, said Pawlowski and he went on to talk about the many good things occurred to Allentown since he took office in 2006.

The event came to an end with raffle drawings and photos with Mayor Pawlowski.

The Significance of Our “Film-Covered LED Device” Patent

The patent, Film-Covered LED Device, has been granted in the United States!

Here are a few significant facts of Andromeda LED Lighting's “Film-Covered LED Device” Patent:

Our patented technology produces high efficiency of white light and sidesteps two main categories of LED lighting patents in the LED industry-- White Light LED Phosphor and High Power LED Packaging.

Our technology streamlines the manufacture process, thus reducing production costs and increasing product quality simultaneously. The defect ratio is less than 1%!

High luminous efficiency of warm white light

Color temperature deviation is less than 30 degrees. The margin of error in the CIE chromaticity diagram is extremely small, maintaining color consistency.

Because of this design, the light source gives out areal light, as opposed to the light cones by competitors' LED point light sources.

The advantages are 1) less heat generated (warm to the touch) 2) longer lifetime 3) uniform light 4) esthetically appealing 5) maintaining constant light output (lumens) for a much longer duration of time

Here is the picture of the design

Film-Covered LED Device

More info on the patent can be found here

No phosphor is needed to cover the LED chips. It is replaced by a film covering the LED chips to produce the desired light colors.

An Insider Scoop on Andromeda LED Lighting LLC

Andromeda LED Lighting only carries and sells top quality LED lighting products. Here are a few facts about our corporate business partner/collaborator/product supplier that we want you to know.

1. They were the first in the LED lighting business who invented LED light panels using COB technology in 2005. Their LED light sources produced 2-dimensional uniform surface light as opposed to the light from the point light sources by other competitors. They were the trend setter. There were quite a few imitations on the market after their pioneering invention.

2. They were the first to use COB technology and invent LED lighting panels that exceeded 100 lm/W in 2007. A record breaking accomplishment back then!

3. The owner of our corporate business partner was recruited by Jacky Wu 吳宗憲 (an A-list high profile celebrity in Taiwan) to become the CTO of Wu’s LED company, Alpha Photonitek corporation, back in 2008.

4. The owner of our corporate business partner was and is in charge of the research and development (R&D) of LED lighting product inventions. Accumulatively, it has resulted in 13 patents (some pending) in Taiwan, China, Japan, America, England, France, and Germany.

Andromeda LED Lighting is the sole authorized retailer in North America.
