Citistore goes Green LED lighting

A new face to see customer, the recent renovated Citistore is enriched with touch of green on using of LED lighting.
The whole roof, lighting, side lights beam lights are all made of LED… in Luxeons K2 types. And roof lighting effect is much better than it was using CFLs. It changes colours continuously. Perfectly match the name of the Department store (Thousand Colours) in Chinese.
I do think most of the customers do not aware they have changing use of LED… only LED sensitive guy Like I…
But one things is that they have a few draw backs
Since the roof height is not that high, some of the sport light is appearing right on top of you head and the light is so much focused, you will be feelling disturbed and feeling uneasy. That is the interior design issue.. A proper LED application has to go with some reflector such as to dilute the light intensity…
Another aspect is that the main space is using cold white LED and some of the clothes boutique is using warm white and it seems obvious in the two areas. There is no transition between cold white to warm white., so you feel the lighting is not unique in the whole floor space.
Besides, I think their approach is right as they will save up a lot of electricity in the coming 5 years…that can be a payback for those Expensive LED lamps they used.
I speculate more and more new established building and ne renovated department store and restaurant will go for LED…in Hong Kong.

LED Globe of Grand Lisboa Casino Macao

This is my 2nd time to visit Macao in the past 5 years, I fond that the Grand Lisboa hotel is so beautiful and Sure that billions of dollars was spent on this building.,
The new Grand Lisboa Hotel was connected with a foot bridge to the old Lisboa Hotel
Which Stanley Ho opened in 1971. The New Grand Lisboa was a design of International architects and interior designers leaded by Khuan Chew who also was the designer for Buri Al Arabs and Four Seasons hotel of Hong Kong.
The property is shaped like a giant lotus flower and opened in 2007 just before Chinese New Year; with 240 gaming tables, 480 slots, and six restaurants.
We could see this new Landmark of Macao with a breathtaking light show from the world’s largest integrated LED screen installed on the Grand Lisboa’s exterior, Ho has clearly upped the ante on his competitors. The LED globe consists of 1.2 millions LED. And 580,000 Swarovski Crystals, and 5,400 pieces of 24-Kt gold plated glasses.
The RGB LED flashed and becoming the local most favourite and glorious Light show from 1800 to next morning, The Lotus shaped like leaves acts as a Knife on top of the entrances would capture everyone including the gamblers entering into the Entrance…
There you can enter and can not come out with the money from the gambler table.. A traditional Fung Shui… On each of the major concourse, you can see water spring that would like to Wash you clean, no one should be able to come out with the money form the Casino. this is only my personal Observations…
As I do no gambles, that mean I am the only Winner in Lisboa casino…

History of the LED

Since 1907, the phenomenon of electroluminescence was discovered by the British experimenter H. J. Round of Marconi Labs. During 1927, the first infrared LED has been reported and distributed in Russian, German and British scientific journals by a Russian Oleg Vladimirovich Losev. In 1962, the first practical visible-spectrum Red LED was developed by Nick Holonyak Jr., at General Electric Company. Holonyak becomes the "father of the LED". During 1972, his student, M. George Craford, invented the first yellow LED and improved the brightness of red and red-orange LEDs. Thanks for Monsanto Company, the first organization to mass-produce visible LEDs by using gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) in 1968; Hewlett Packard (HP) introduced the first LEDs alphanumeric display into their HP’s early handheld calculation in 1970s. Blue LED New Era of Blue LED with Shuji Nakamura, a Tokushima University graduated on Chemistry, worked in the Nichia Company which was a very small in supply fluorescent material to the TV manufacturing in 1960s. Nakamura San has invented the first high brightness GaN-based blue LED, together with the phosphor coating for white LED lighting, and which went into production in 1993. Nakamura managed to develop a new method for mass production of GaN based blue LED. With Nakamura contribution, now everyone can buy a MOCVD system which works like you baking oven in your kitchen for blue LED wafer. But, of course, there are only a few chefs for Make Right recipe for good Blue LED in the world. Shuji Nakamura is now recognized as “guru of the Blue LED”. His researches have been international awards: the Harvey Prize from Israel’s Technion (2010); Spain’s Prince of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Research (2008); Finland’s Millennium Technology Prize (2006); and the Benjamin Franklin Medal in the engineering segment (2004), previously conferred upon Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein. Nakamura has also received Japan’s Takeda Award, as well as an Innovation Award from UK magazine The Economist. Now you can see LED everywhere…Thanks to these gentlemen who has been contributed their researches on LED… One of the top 10 Inventions in 20 Century.
