China is said to be the leader in the development and manufacturing of LED lighting products. In spite of this assertion, one of Chinas largest automotive corporations is turning to an American company to bring LED lights to Eastern China. Shanghai Automotive Industrial Corporation USA, Inc., one of the top 3 automotive corporations in China engaged in the manufacturing, sales, research and development in passenger cars, commercial vehicles and components has turned to Lighting Science Group of Satellite Beach, Florida for ultra-efficient, low cost LED infrastructure lights. SAIC-USA will serve as Lighting Science Group's exclusive agent for LED infrastructure products in China. The two companies are exploring the possibility of contracting eligible factories in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces to manufacture and assemble Lighting Science Group's LED infrastructure LED lights destined for Chinese consumption. "We chose Lighting Science Group as a partner because they offer the most advanced and affordable LED lighting products in the world," said Mr. Chen, President of Shanghai Automotive Industrial Corporation USA, Inc. "Their lighting solutions deliver the best light distribution, excellent color, optimum performance, and are ultra-efficient in meeting our country's energy, environmental and design needs."
I am glad to see LSG and SAIC-USA form this partnership. As long as the products made in the Chinese factories stay in China and Southeast Asia it will bring a much needed income stream to Lighting Science Group while it reduces shipping costs and holds down prices. It is partnerships like this one that will help establish US LED manufacturers as world leaders in LED lighting products. Shadow-Caster Marine LED's is another manufacturer of quality, US made LED lights. There line of underwater LED lights for boats has established them as the top marine LED manufacturer in the world.

LSG / LPI Team Up To Chase L Prize
Lighting Science Group and Light Prescriptions Innovators have teamed up to develop a highly efficient, high output and low cost 60-watt replacement LED bulb, that they will enter to win the the U.S. Department of Energy's prestigious L Prize competition.
The L Prize, or Bright Tomorrow Lighting Prize, was established by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 as a way to promote the development of a highly efficient, high quality LED replacements for the traditional 60-watt light bulb. To be considered for the L Prize a light bulb must work in current sockets, get six times the energy efficiency of an incandescent build (measured in lumen's of light per watt of electricity used), while meeting other high standards for color rendering, life, quality, cost and availability.
"We are confident that our LED bulb developed in partnership with LPI meets or exceeds all of the criteria for the L Prize, making it a strong contender to win the competition, but we also believe that developing this product will further accelerate the transformation of the lighting industry to highly efficient LED technology." said Fred Maxik, founder and chief technology officer of Lighting Science Group. "This LED bulb will help accelerate America's shift away from inefficient, dated lighting products to innovative, high-performance products," said Roberto Alvarez, chief executive officer and president of LPI.
