Philips Lumileds Lighting Company is based in San Jose, California. It was started in 1999 as a joint venture between Philips and Agilent (spun off of HP), but in 2005 Philips bought Agilent's share, so now it is part of Philips. They developed some of the first power LED's to be used in flashlights, like the Luxeon I, III, and V, and continue to produce the Luxeon Rebel.
