Toshiba to showcase new series of energy efficient LED lighting products at Lightfair 2009

Toshiba will bring its new series of energy efficient LED lighting products to LIGHTFAIR International 2009, one of the world’s largest lighting exhibitions. Toshiba’s LED lighting product lineup will include E-CORETM 2000, which has a luminous flux of 2000 lumens, LED light bulbs, a series of pear-shaped light bulbs with LED as light sources, and LED units, which feature high brightness and energy efficiency in compact designs. Toshiba expects cumulative shipments of its E-CORETM series LED down lights in Japan to reach 100,000 units this month, indicating their growing popularity and long-term market potential.

Toshiba plans to expand the scope of its LED lighting business and activities in Europe to include the UK and Germany, building on a French operation established earlier this month. It will also take the business into India, Russia, Brazil, the Middle East and China, and so to build a robust global presence in the promising area of new lighting products. The exhibition will run in Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, from May 5 to 7th.
