Driven by global warming, the impending energy crisis and environmental regulatory requirements, new technology is needed by the lighting industry to replace the incandescent bulbs that most countries have agreed to scrap by the middle of the decade. Seren Photonics’ patent pending technology expects to be at the forefront of developments that will meet this need; LEDs made via the Seren procedure will have exceptional performance, efficiency and a significant reduction in the cost of manufacture, enabling ultrahigh efficient LEDs to be the first choice replacement for incandescent bulbs.

The aim of Seren Photonics is to unlock the full potential of nitride-based, ultrahigh efficient, white LEDs and complete the illumination revolution we are currently experiencing.

Seren Photonics’ revolutionary procedure is targeted at the large and fast growing white LED markets such as back lighting for laptop computers and TVs, signs and displays as well as domestic and architectural lighting. The HBLED Market is currently worth an estimated $5bn and is set to grow to $12bn by 2013. Seren Photonics has the potential to revolutionise the illumination markets and be a key contributor to reducing green house gas emissions.
