Everlight plans to commercialize automotive LED headlamp by 3Q08

align="justify">Everlight Electronics claims that it has successfully resolved issues concerning heat-dissipation for LED headlamps, and estimates that the LED headlamp will soon pass heat-dissipation tests and be ready for commercialization by 3Q08.

Before working on headlamps, Everlight successfully made inroad into LED lamp usage in direction signal lights and brake lights, according to Robert Yeh, chairman of Everlight Electronics. He also stated that the company spent five years passing the direction signal light certification tests for Mercedes Benz and BMW, as those lights need to function properly at a temperature of minus 20-100 degree centigrade. Yeh noted that profit margins for this type of application can exceed 50% due to the high barrier of entry.
