Optrom will be listed using CCFL straight tube lighting

Japan's Optrom will be listed with the Taiwan science and Technology (GTT) co development, the use of cold cathode tube (CCFL) lighting "ECOOL", can be installed on the existing fluorescent lamps. 40W straight tube fluorescent lamp with the same size of the polycarbonate (Polycarbonate) cylinder is built with 2 custom LCD TV with CCFL. The back of the CCFL is equipped with an inverter, which can be removed from the ballast. Power consumption of 27W, luminous flux of 2000lm. The comprehensive efficiency is about 74lm/W, the direct illumination is 390lx, the brightness can reach the same level as the existing fluorescent lamp. Life (brightness down to the initial brightness of 70%) and LED lighting is equivalent to 40 thousand hours.

In line with the revised energy conservation law, low power consumption and long life products are more and more popular, it is expected that the product will be imported into the factory and distribution center. The competitive object of this product is to replace the straight fluorescent lamp LED lighting. ECOOL is characterized by the price of only 7500 yen, is straight tube LED lighting 1/2 ~ 1/3. By cutting tariffs, the initial investment will be recovered in about 3 years. The company is very confident, said the company intends to import fluorescent lighting LED if you see the product, it will import". Although there is no disclosure of technical content, but the company is under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), the application part of the lamp and the structure of the relevant international patent. In addition, the low power consumption plays an important role in the inverter does not apply for a patent, but the black box operation. In order to make it easy to find out the internal structure after dismantling, the use of epoxy resin packaging.

Optrom originally intended to develop LED lighting. However, in the face of cost and heat issues, accepted the GTT proposed by the CCFL program, developed a ECOOL. The product will be listed in August 09. GTT is responsible for production, Optrom is responsible for import and sales in japan. Optrom funded to Finantec as an agent, Optrom also strive to build two agents to expand sales. Initially sold a few million / month, hoping to sell 10 million years later"
