Eskow, a twenty-six-year Avnet veteran who holds two industry patents, will present "Accelerating Solid-State Lighting Solid state lighting (SSL) refers to a type of lighting that utilizes light-emitting diodes (LEDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), or polymer light-emitting diodes (PLED) as sources of illumination rather than electrical filaments or gas. Adoption in the Broad Market: The Emergence of Global HB LED-Focused Distribution" during conference session one on developments in solid-state lighting. His presentation highlights the benefits of solid-state lighting and the obstacles that must be addressed to incorporate the technology. Solid-state lighting covers a broad range of applications including residential, retail display and large-scale architectural projects. Eskow notes the benefits of solid-state lighting will ripple across many diverse industry segments in the years to come. However, sufficient HB LED and system-level applications expertise is not widespread. "A revolution is underway -- a revolution in the creative application of energy-efficient, solid-state lighting using high-brightness LEDs," stated Eskow. "The system-level complexities of using this technology need to be addressed though, to enable this transformation to occur as rapidly as possible. Electronic distribution has a major role to play by reaching out to many lighting industry segments and leveraging optical, analog, and thermal applications engineering experience." Strategies in Light is expected to draw component and equipment suppliers, manufacturers and end-users of HB LED devices to learn about the latest developments in HB LED applications.
