Wavien, Inc. Demonstrates Leading-Edge Flashlight, Illuminator and Projection Prototypes Based on Extended-Life Arc Lamps and LED Light-Recycling at CES 2011 in Las Vegas


LAS VEGAS -- Wavien, Inc., of Valencia, CA, is demonstrating, for the first time, LED and arc-lamp-based illuminator and projector prototypes with industry-leading performance features including low cost and size, super-high brightness and maintenance-free, long lifetimes. These illuminator prototypes are based on the latest advances in Wavien's Dual Paraboloid Reflector (DPR(TM)) arc-lamp systems and Recycling LED Technology (RLT(TM)). They are being shown to attendees at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, South Hall Booth #22028, from January 6 to January 9, 2011.

The prototypes being demonstrated include:

1) DLP projector illumination systems featuring long life and low cost

-- Low-cost white-LED illuminated, full color, 300 to 500 lumen-output, DLP(TM) digital projectors.

-- A low power DPR illumination system with over 20,000 hours arc-lamp lifetime for maintenance-free DLP digital projectors with over 1,000 lumens output.

-- DPR(TM) DLP digital projectors with output over 2,000 lumens and arc lamp life of 10,000 hours.

-- High-efficiency DPR illumination system for digital cinema and conventional projectors with 3 kW to 10 kW xenon arc lamps, providing up to 2X the on-screen lumens of current projectors. These illuminators can provide brighter images for 3D and for the largest theater screens.

-- High-output, light-recycling 7-LED array for 3-panel DLP digital cinema projectors with outputs up to 8,000 lumens.

2) Flashlights, searchlights, spotlights and downlights

-- Ultra-bright, 15-Watt, MR-16 LED spot-type downlight without fan cooling.

-- Affordable, pocket-sized, narrow-beam, recycling LED flashlight with 1,500 equivalent-lumens output.

-- Special Operations, high-power, narrow-beam, recycling LED flashlight with 5,000 equivalent-lumens output available at www.frontgate.com website.

-- Ultra-bright, ultra-long-range, 10,000-lumen output, DPR search-light with ultra-narrow beam.

-- Ultra-narrow beam, ultra-long range, light-recycling LED lantern with 20,000 equivalent-lumens output.

-- Ultra-bright, 15-Watt, MR-16 LED spot light without cooling fan.

3) GOBO projectors (ultra-bright projectors of fixed images such as corporate logos)

-- Low-cost, maintenance-free 1,000-lumen output, light-recycling LED GOBO projector.

-- High-power, 6,000-lumen, 7-LED array, light-recycling GOBO projector.

-- Ultra-narrow beam, ultra-long range, ultra-bright DPR GOBO projector with less than 3-degree beam divergence.

These prototypes will enable potential licensees to develop a deeper understanding of the key features of Wavien's DPR and RLT technologies and their applicability to new product developments.
