In Montreal, Future Lighting Solutions has released a unique range of light engine products designed to accelerate the development, prototyping and delivery of solid-state lighting applications and reduce the development cost of luminaires. This is the first product of the newly developed simpleLED program. The light engine is available in 12 sizes and offers more than 600 custom options, all featuring LUXEON ® Rebel LEDs that are graded according to ANSI standards and integrated with key components.
The 12 ready-to-use configurations include 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 9 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K color-temperature white LEDs in line, round, and square layouts. . Each kit includes a board, LED, Tyco Electronics connector and 10mm, 20mm, Tri-Lens or ultra-wide angle Carclo optics. These components can be used for recessed downlights, low hanging lights, troffer lights, wall washers, showcase lights, cabinet lights, table lights/table lamps, and street lights/area lighting.
Online custom configuration of the product is easily accomplished by leveraging Future's new light engine customization tool, Light Engine Builder. Products can be shipped within four weeks. Product delivery will be slightly delayed if custom color LEDs or other optics are required.
Danny Miller, vice president of lighting integration business at Future Lighting Solutions, said, "The LED light engine can reduce engineering, procurement and assembly needs for smaller manufacturers with limited LED development experience and companies and other customers who need rapid prototyping. This helps them save time and development costs. Until now, the choices on the market are still very limited. We offer a wide range of products and comprehensive customization services through the simpleLED program, which is a major breakthrough in simplifying the development of solid-state lighting."
All of the light engines in the program offer three-year warranty and the benefits of the LUXEON Rebel platform, such as the ability to support drive currents up to 1000mA, ANSI color grading requirements, and a minimum color rendering index (CRI) of 80 . In addition, these LED products have been UL recognized (UL Recognized), so new luminaires developed using Future's light engine are eligible for UL Listed without having to conduct a comprehensive system LED component survey.
