Leader of Solid State Lighting

San Francisco, California and Taipei & Hsinchu, Taiwan WI Harper Group made an announcement of its new investment in LED field, NeoPac Lighting Inc. NeoPac is a Taiwan based LED lighting solution company to serve general lighting market by providing its light engines and series outdoor lighting products. Complying with the trend of “Green Products”, “Energy Saving”, NeoPac is world recognized as a pioneer to lead in this new field, which has already accumulated customer bases over 25 countries around the world. The company had just unveiled a world leading 120-watts white color LEDs outdoor lighting device at 6,000 lumens output in early this year. Recently, it further launched a 102-watts warm white model based on the same fixture of the 120-watt predecessor for the applications of street lighting and outdoor area lighting.

“It is the world’s first commercial warm white type LEDs Street Light at driving power over 100 watts. With its LEDs junction temperature (Tj) uniformly kept at under 55°C (as ambient air temperature at 25°C), the ultra-high-power warm white lamp for actual street light application can be realized accordingly. Low junction temperature ensures higher LEDs illumination efficiency and longer useful life.” said Jeffrey Chen, CEO of NeoPac Lighting Group. With the same fixture design as the 120- watt white color outdoor lighting device, this 102-watts warm white color LEDs version was also developed based on NeoPac proprietary NeoBulb Outdoor Solution. This solution to develop LEDs outdoor lighting device for general lighting is based on an innovation technology platform, called NeoPac? Universal Platform. The product provides a mixing warm white spectrum with initial total luminance flux of 4,680 lumens of which 3,000 lm are in white and 1,680 lumens are in amber; the maintain luminance flux can be kept at up to 4,200 lumens. The LEDs Street Light comes with tested IP rating of 65 for dust and water protection. They are built tough with durable metal casing and sealed optic housing to sustain the severest weather condition for any outdoor application. The useful life of the NeoBulb lamp can be lengthened to over 50,000 hrs.

“When comes to product commercialization, especially semiconductor, IT, and electronics related products, Taiwan is the only choice of place to complete all tasks, you never think about the other places in the world; Neopac is fully utilizing Taiwan’s advantages of supply chain management, manufacture outsourcing, LED chipset foundation, and world sales channels, hence, the company could finish the design and production process within a very short time and under a controlled budget” said YK Chu, Managing director of WI Harper Group and head of Taiwan Operation. “NeoPac provides truly salable and usable LED products with low price and on the market today, while other similar products are still in the lab or requiring more sophisticated testing and research effort.”

WI Harper Group is now working closely with NeoPac on market development in China, U.S., Europe and Middle East Areas. Through WI Harper’s network, NeoPac has successfully connected with Siemens in Germany, Government fund of Abu Dhabi, Shenzhen and Shenyang city governments in China. With the great technology, brilliant patent protected ideas, and a solid executive team from NeoPac, combining with WI Harper’s many years experience in world bridge model and strong network, NeoPac is poised to be “The Best Lighting Innovation since Thomas Edison” marked by Mr. Peter Liu, Chairman of WI Harper Group.
