Strategies in Light 2012

EVENT OVERVIEW

Strategies in Light® is a business- and market-oriented conference and exhibition on high-brightness LEDs and lighting produced by Strategies Unlimited® and PennWell® Corporation. Over the past 12 years, it has grown to be both the longest-running and the largest conference in the HB LED and lighting industry. This event is the premier annual forum for presenting current commercial developments in high-brightness LED applications and provides unparalleled networking opportunities for component and equipment suppliers, manufacturers, and end-users of HB LED devices. In addition to drawing record-breaking attendance for five consecutive years, our parallel lighting track, which we have integrated to examine the pressing isssues regarding the use of LEDs in lighting applications, has attracted standing-room- only crowds. Other events include LED Japan Conference & Expo/Strategies in Light, Strategies in Light Europe and Strategies in Light China.

The outlook for the HB LED market has never been brighter. In 2010 the HB LED market is continuing the robust growth trend that began in the second half of 2009 following the recession-induced contraction of late 2008 and early 2009. Moreover, the long-term fundamentals of the HB LED market remain sound. Strategies Unlimited’s most recent HB LED market review and forecast report concludes that several applications are projected to have growth rates exceeding 50% over the next five years, including backlights for LCD TVs and monitors and solid-state lighting. The total HB LED market is projected to grow at an annual average rate of 29.5% through 2014.
