Profile

[Company strength]
We have developed LED lights as a replacement for high-output mercury lamps. We provide world class lighting products (= energy saving) and excellent lighting effect (uniform light distribution, reduced dazzle, etc.). This was achieved by adopting the latest technology for main parts such as LED chips and LED driving power sources and using our unique circuit design and lighting tool deign. Our strengths are comprehensive technology for LED lighting apparatuses and speedy product development capabilities. 

[Business description]
Our main business is development and manufacture of LED light fitting. We also perform environmental consulting regarding energy saving, water treatment, and conversion of waste to resources.

[Industry]
Manufacture and sale of light fitting

[Strength of products/technologies]
Our main products are the AZ-T series of high-ceiling LED lights, and power source-integrated panel light board units (PBUs). The AZ-T products are equipped with the originally designed LED COB, have a high luminous efficiency of 130 lm/W after installation on an optional dedicated light-diffusion panel, and are optimum for physical recreation facilities. The newly developed board unit makes an LED emit light at the rated efficiency or higher by an IC power source made in Japan and our patented circuit. The luminous efficiency of the unit is 180 lm/W - 200 lm/W depending on the LEDs used, and we have achieved a long lifetime of more than 100,000 hours through the addition of other state-of-the-art technologies. A plurality of units achieves a high-output of LED light, resulting in a significant reduction in weight and manufacturing costs. We can respond to custom board shapes for light panel.

[Representative's message]
Several domestic and overseas companies have published techniques for driving an LED using an IC power source and developed products using such techniques, but these techniques are still in their infancy. We are proud to have our panel light board unit associated with the label of the world’s first next-generation lighting technology for performance and expandability. We have just manufactured a trial commodity and will establish a system within three months. We will sell LED board units targeting global leaders in light apparatus manufacturing, and sell applied light devices mainly in Japan and Southeast Asia by consigning production to a Chinese affiliate. From that we aim to establish a market for new-type LED panel lights. 

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We have carried out only domestic sales of the AZ-T series through several wholesale sales agents. All of the sales agents are small and with a weak sales force. This was a contributing factor to our slow increase in sales and resulted in a narrow profit margin.  In order to solve these problems, we are working on expanding the market projects supporting public institutions and participating in exhibitions etc.  Our plan for newly developed PBUs and related products involves expanding domestic and overseas sales networks by adding specialized trading companies etc. with both a domestic and international sales force. We concluded a sales basic contract with a subsidiary sales company of an American machine manufacturer in January 2016.

[Market share/Ranking]
The AZ-T series has a small market share. The power source-integrated panel light boards will enter the market as a pioneer product.

[Awards and media coverage]
[Awards]
We were awarded the Highest Award of the Itabashi Product Technology Prize (panel light board units)

[Media]
Videos etc. were published on the website of Itabashi Small and Medium Company Promotion Public Corporation as a prize winner of the highest award. J:COM broadcast a special edition for us (“Oshigoto Sogo Kenkyujo (comprehensive research institute of work)” in February 2015)-> Uploaded to YouTube. 


[Joint research and development]
We jointly developed cylinder lights for tunneling work, using a panel light board unit, together with TAISEI CORPORATION and Nissei Corporation (in April 2016).
