Thanks for comments. What about our new AXLE9XB series - will this be shown in the Great White? we believe this will be the longest lifetime product ever.

Henry also connected with "NEWT" and "MITT" - this LED Correspondent is getting into see all sorts of people http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrsxKy-Ydf0

See what a very formidable news correspondent had to say about AxiomLED Rudolph Light bulbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64NacO1DjmU

Blair Companies does BP - I think. Check with Doug McGhee.

Looks like the solar activity is already starting before the start of 2012 See what they say in Australia http://www.news.com.au/technology/suns-flare-set-to-storm-the-airways/story-e6frfrnr-1226233080338

Thanks all for comments. 2012 is going to be fun. Here is a video I found that says it all simply

Can a sign company change a bulb and or replace a reflector in the fixture?

LM79 data has not been run yet because everyone is sticking these in different fixtures. LM79 is also not needed/required for most of our customers outside the USA. The Metal Halide numbers you suggest are correct yet the fixture efficacy numbers you have may be a little off - more like 50% efficient. Our product has been tested by the top companies in multiple places around the world - here in USA - by YESCO, the largest sign and lighting service company in the USA. Our parts are "adequate". If additional brightness is needed - we can increase the LED content of a 130 lumen per watt Nichia LED and raise the light levels by 10-25% - this increase would cost between $15-$25 more. We find however that our initial system meets 90% of applications. We find that once people install they do "the real test" You can purchase a kit online if you like. Some have purchased to make their own fixtures.

AxiomLED has finally introduced the product that it showcased at our ISA Party in Las Vegas... sorry she had clothes on when we turned it on!! http://www.AxiomLED.com/AxiomLED/Metal_Halide_Retrofit.html If someone wants to make the sheet metal components that can sell with these kits - please call me on my mobile at 702-539-4484

My wife and I moved into a new place in Las Vegas and I decided to be "Mr Lighting" and what an interesting experience I had being hands on. First - Outdoor Landscape Lighting Halogen rocks...and I have plenty of it. When you can buy 4 fixtures for $20 and fixture that looks like a rock for $14 - why would anyone consider the $75 LED fixtures. Plus the color rendering of halogen makes the low CRI of the LED look pretty horrible - the greens and flowers outside seem to get very muted in cool bluish white LED. Even the LED MR16 bulbs that saw that they are warm white are about 3500Kelvin - and compared to halogen as 2650 Kelvin it looks different. But alas - you know me - I have to drop in our Nichia based Warm White 2700 Kelvin Bulbs with CRI of 86 and they do look good. Not as bright, but bright enough for landscape lighting. Our LED bulb is only $7.50 and can fit into any MR16 based fixture so I think the best thing to do is to buy an inexpensive 12 VAC transformer (no expensive LED power supply) and use our bulbs. But I still have a few halogens - I like halogen. Second - Kitchen Lighting The house we purchased had lovely 4000 Kelvin T12 fluorescents. At first I wasn't sure if I was buzzed from the Martini I had made and then I realized the buzzing was the annoying ballast....but....but... when I pulled it out it had a Date Code of manufacturing from 25 years ago! So I will give old magnetic ballast that - they lasted! At first I decided to try out some funky new LED I had but then I thought - it would be more expensive to retrofit the whole ceiling to accommodate the lighting so I just found a beautifully modern and inexpensive halogen fixture...gets hot and the transformer buzzes on cold mornings before it heats up - but it has the right light levels and just looks awesome. So what if I have to change halogen bulbs that cost $3-4 down the road - maybe I won't drive through Starbucks that morning. I did however decide to put in one our new LED recessed PAR30 down lights in the 6" fixture - just swapped out the bulb and it works with the existing dimmer without a problem. The other day I had a top exec over from Nichia of Japan and he didn't even notice that it was an LED bulb. At $15.00 we think our part is a pretty good value. Over the kitchen table I made a new fixture taking some planters from West Elm furniture and converted them into a light fixture... trained as a lighting and stage designer, I could not resist. I didn't realize at the time that the fixture coupling I used was for a mini base light bulb so I had to go shopping for available options. Fluorescent didn't come in mini base options so I ruled that out. LED bulbs available would not put out enough light to eat dinner by...and so I went with a pack of incandescent bulbs that I paid $4 for.... I really bought 4 packs! Hallway Lighting So the house we moved into had some hideous old fixtures - not my modern taste. So I found a great fixture at Lowes and installed it. Was a T5 Fluorescent round tube - I had to give it a try because it is the true enemy of an LED system! And wow am I thoroughly unimpressed! The T5 lamp put out very little light, has a ballast that constantly buzzes and what they call "Warm White" looks like the color of the cool white LED modules we sell for signage. I thought "oh well - I only turn these on for a few minutes each day and they look good when off" - so I let it be....but now that it is cold in Las Vegas and daylight savings hit...they have to be on longer and damn are they loud! I will have to figure out something on this.... I need a small low profile (1/2" tall) LED power supply to really make this work as the fixture is only 2" deep! So congrats to T5 for slim fixtures...and that is about it! Indirect Ambient Light Ok - I decided to have fun with this. I bought some fixtures for indirect uplighting in various places throughout the home and I learned that the only way to go was with a big name brand like Philips, Sylvania...those FEIT bulbs don't last but a couple of weeks and the color is horrible. So yes - I went with fluorescent - you never see the bulb and you can get 2700Kelvin if you look hard. But where I had the most fun was with a new LED system we have created called our AXLE9 Series. We have not introduced this product yet but all I can say is...WOW!. This product is 2X brighter than any LED module we have created before and will cost less! This new Nichia LED delivers true 2680 Kelvin color and a CRI of 90! At $5.00 a linear foot I can put this pretty much anywhere. I put it on the backside of a chair that was offset from a wall and attached the power supply to a ambient light sensor I bought off the shelf at Home Depot. At night the chair glows and you never see a bulb! So I have to say - Halogen in some locations, fluorescent has its spot, incandescent will never go away, and LEDs can help recreate a space. Now for neon... I do a lot of work at YESCO in Las Vegas so I think I am going to get the industry icon to design me some art made of neon!!! So no matter what shape, size, power, chemistry, technology... we can all work together!

Thanks Erik. If it means anything 1. YESCO is our largest customer for these power supplies and uses them on all major sign projects. 2. We just shipped 1000 pcs on a gas station project yesterday 3. The product was tested by the New Zealand Navy - it can operate 10 meters or 30 feet under water!! 4. The part has been used in: USA, France, UK, Germany, Czech Republic, Nigeria, New Zealand, Australia, India, Thailand, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Japan... so it will work anywhere in any condition. 5. It operates standard at 120V, 208V, 240V, and 277VAC input. And for quantities larger than 20 pcs we have additional discounts.

"advertising specialties"? Don't know what you mean. We are going to be launching a lot of new products soon - almost all are increasing light output and significantly reducing product pricing. We should introduce our Metal Halide retrofit product within 30 days.

I think there is multiple lawsuits and a lot of patents... you lose some I guess...but it appears Nichia wins most cases.

AxiomLED has learned recently that it is downright scary how many JT LED white LED products you have to use to reach the brightness and performance of the AxiomLED AXLE5-SW65 series... making the JT LED system even more expensive. So we decided to launch our Halloween special in the USA and drop our pricing on our most popular product by 20% See our new offer at http://www.AxiomLED.com We have changed our warehouse from Las Vegas to California to account for the large number of customers we have in California.

AxiomLED has introduced a new 144 Watt LED power supply. The new product is designed for 90-277 Volt AC universal input and 24 Volt DC output. We are seeing a lot more interest in our 24 Volt power supplies. The power supply is IP68 rated and can be mounted up to 10 meters/30 feet under water. The product is UL Recognized.

I used to work for Seagull Lighting in Riverside, NJ - they are one of the largest residential lighting companies in the world. They did the same thing with solar on their huge warehouse My understanding is that it would cost the power company more money to trench a new power main to their facility than it would to give them a rebate to go solar. I am sure Philadelphia Sign is the same. There are several people on this board from Philadelphia Sign, I am sure they can comment

Someone should let WellsFargo know - they won't like to hear this

Good job Brad - all your hard work has paid off. It is enjoyable to win a huge project! Have a good time.

Such a joke. It is insulting to be labeled into this group when you make a good product at a good price... really sucks.

They are an end customer

Someone in BC Canada wants to use our LEDs and needs help making a sign looking for 2 sets of letters, one which says "PUB" and one which says "MOTEL" possibly red and 24" high Call him and help him out...and hopefully use our LED modules.

A few customers have called asking if the company Bitro http://www.bitrogroup.com is using our PS60HS12 power supplies. The answer is yes. However, please note that Bitro is covering the Axiom Power Corp label on the power supplies and this is not in compliance with UL standards. So please have them remove the Bitro label from the supplies as it will cause you problems with inspectors and with UL. Any questions call me 702-539-4484
