Led by Mr. Ben Fan, recipient of numerous industrialist and entrepreneurial acclaims and awards; Neo-Neon LED Lighting International Ltd a subsidiary of Neo-Neon Holdings Ltd. Company (HKEX: 1868 & TDR: 911868) was first to market with a complete range of SSL White LED based General and Commercial and Consumer Retail DIY products. Neo-Neon lighting can be seen enhancing the visual lives of millions of people around the world for the past 33 years. Due to tremendous advancements in technology, steadfast commitment to energy savings technologies, vertical integration model, the vision and focus of our companies chairman and directors, Neo-Neon, the world’s largest traditional and LED decorative lighting manufacturer has emerged as a front runner in the white LED SSL manufacturing.
Mr. Ben Fan, Chairman quoted recently “My vision of today made years ago has become the reality. There is no single greater opportunity that I can think of in our present day that offers such potential for profitability and global change than White Solid State Lighting. We have no choice but to embrace this and work with all our efforts to realize this potential for our company, our shareholders, and our employees and their families.” The Industrialist visionary who broke the price barriers and opened the market for decorative lighting is applying the same strategies to forge Neo-Neon forward to formidable heights.
Recently Neo-Neon achieved new heights in the White LED market by becoming the “first” Asia based manufacturer to achieve Energy Star Qualification on both our LED 6” Recessed Down Light Retrofit fixture and a LED Fixed Track Lighting Fixture with (4) directional LED Spot Heads. The LED Fixed Track Light product has been sold under private label into the US Market and began shipping in volume in May of 2010. Additionally Neo-Neon became one of the few manufacturers who have achieved a UL Listing on our LED T8 Tubes.
Neo-Neon is the largest vertically integrated LED Lighting manufacturer of its kind globally which is one of the key factors in the rise of Neo-Neon to its current leadership role. Neo-Neon International Ltd., founded in Taiwan in 1978, is one of the largest seasonal decorative lighting suppliers to the world. In 1989, Neo-Neon moved its production force to He Shan, Guangdong Province on the Chinese mainland. The move enabled Neo-Neon to control production costs much more effectively by supplying parts, components and even packaging materials through its own subsidiaries, making the factories >95% self-reliant.
Neo-Neon manufactures its own chips, packages, encapsulates, and productizes in HeShan City, P.R. China. With over
While Neo-Neon’s initial focus was on white SSL General and Commercial Lighting recent strategic moves has produced a new range of consumer retail and DIY white SSL products to include the Cerenity Series which is a new range of Ceramic based SSL “small package” SMD powered direct replacement bulbs. The Cerenity Series with small package SMD LEDs Delivers equal if not greater lumens, tighter binning capabilities, and higher yields. Ceramic materials are by far the most efficient from thermal management of LEDs however Neo-Neon is currently integrating the same LEDs into its latest series of aluminum thermal managed bulbs as well.
In one of Neo-Neon’s earlier series the LED Ribbon Flex where Neo-Neon was first to mass produce and deploy to market a new product range and a new first has emerged. LED Tape Light AC Series direct to mains flexible LED Tape Light. The LED Tape Light AC Series is unlike similar products on the market as it connects direct to main AC power for direct retrofit to replace cold cathode and fluorescents. Typically existing buildings already have mains to coves, sconces and areas where cold cathode and fluorescents are applied. Low voltage versions are not as desirable for general illumination as they often are accompanied by bulky transformers, power supplies and controllers. LED Tape Light AC uses existing building AC wiring and is easy to install and offers significant energy savings and reduced maintenance costs for the general illumination market.
These are just a couple of the highlights in Neo-Neon’s new products that is incorporating new SMD 3528 White LEDs. By developing new products which use small package SMD LEDs verses power LEDs for Neo-Neon’s General Illumination products the “Chip and Packaging” business case is further strengthened. Neo-Neon’s chip factory has been prepared well for the increase in demand for LED Back Light market demands and threatened shortages of LEDs in the coming months and years. Neo-Neon’s plans to expand its Chip production capacity is very aggressive one. With projected production of over 30,000 wafers per month by the end of 2010, to over 80 MOCVD’s in operation over the next five years Neo-Neon is and will certainly continue on its course of success. Neo-Neon currently is ranked in the top six (6) of companies globally for the number of LED technology patents held. Neo-Neon in China is estimated to be in the top three (3) of companies for lumens efficacy for chip production and well on our way to lead in this space as well.
Neo-Neon has expanded its production capacity with the addition of the new Neo-Neon production facility near Hanoi, Vietnam. As market pressures and cost increases in materials and labor has began to cause challenges to pricing pressures, in the labor intensive products such as light string and rope lighting, Neo-Neon in advance of this trend brought online the Vietnam factory to enable adjustments to the market needs. Neo-Neon thus continues its support of its customer’s profitability through forward thinking and strategic investments.
Neo-Neon’s LED products cover the widest range which remains unparalleled in the industry. From LED Street, LED Bridge, LED Tunnel and LED Public Area Illumination, LED Recessed Down light, LED Direct Replacement Bulbs, LED T5 and T8 Tubes, LED Troffers, LED Embedded Accent, LED Wall, LED Sconce, LED Track, LED Pendant, LED Flush Mount, Security, LED Light Engines, LED Chip and Packages, LED Architectural, LED Entertainment, and LED Decorative. All Neo-Neon Illumination products are manufactured to the highest standards. Neo-Neon is an Energy Star Partner and Lighting Facts Member and is focused on cost effective energy saving illumination solutions in the White and RGBW space.
Neo-Neon’s current sales focus incorporates the expansion of its overseas branch offices, formation of strategic alliances, as well as acquisitions and investments into channel partners. In mainland China Neo-Neon is opening more branch offices around China as well as launching new retail store locations around Mainland China named LED House.
Neo-Neon is opening its newest showroom facility located in Kowloon Hong Kong which boast of 30,000 square feet of retail showroom on the first floor. The second floor of the multi-story prime location multi-story high rise will house its corporate offices as well as a newly forming international sales team. Showrooms in Brazil, the UK, and USA are currently under construction.
In addition to the vertically integrated factories, the expansive product line, and channel expansion efforts and milestones achieved, Neo-Neon is currently in process of establishing new R&D centers in various metropolitan areas around China and Taiwan to expand its R&D capabilities to continue to innovate and engineer new cutting edge LED illumination products.
Today’s future of Neo-Neon continues to look bright as our story continues to be written by Mr. Ben Fan, the Directors, and our management team.
