SJS Technology Inc.: According to a regulatory filing picked up by PeHub.com, Khosla Ventures is leading a Series A round of funding for Goleta, Calif.-based solid state lighting startup SJS Technology. The report says SJS Technology has secured $2.5 million of a $5 million round.  While most of us are already switching out incandescent bulbs for compact fluorescents, options in solid-state lighting technology are the next generation. Solid state lighting commonly uses layers of semiconductors to create light in a much more energy efficient method than traditional lighting, and includes utilizing light emitting diodes (LEDs). In five years cheap, inefficient incandescent bulbs will be illegal as mandated by the recently inked Energy Bill, and this is blazing the way for solid state.
