Edison Opto CSP 1616
CSP technology obviates the packaging process which can lower the production cost and reduce the emitting area, providing more flexibility for secondary optical design.
CSP 1616 achieves high luminous flux and wide beam angle (150°) within the small area. Moreover, it is flexible for lamp design whether for high luminous intensity deign or wide light angle design.
Fulham ll-in-One LED Driver
The all-in-one programmable LED driver/ emergency battery back up combo unit eliminates the need for a separate emergency system within an LED fixture.
A handheld programmer can be used to adjust output current from 250mA to 1450mA, as well as setting dimming curve (0-10V), voltage, address and more. The emergency power output and run time can also be adjusted. Universal voltage input and compact size allow maximum design flexibility.
ROAL Electronics MESO 50
Providing 50W of power in a compact size (105 x 73 x 27mm / 4.13 x 2.87 x 1.06 inches), with worldwide AC input voltage range (120/230/277 VAC) or optional DC power input and a multi-unit wireless programmability feature, MESO 50 is flexible, demonstrated by the driver’s multiple dimming options.
This includes analogue 0 – 10V, digital control via DALI or PWM and push dimming. MESO 50 ensures universal adaptability and delivers lower THD <20%, PF > 0.9 at any nominal input voltage and 5kV surge protection. It is also suitable for harsh environments up to 90°C case temperature.
RECOM RCOB Series
The driver series includes eleven models with output voltages between 25 and 44VDC and constant output currents of 350 to 1050mA.
The drivers come with active PFC (>0.95), and achieve efficiencies of up to 90%. A compact design (106 x 67 x 22mm) ensures easy integration into lighting systems. The inputs and outputs are located on the same side, making installation straightforward. The drivers of version RCOB-A come with a one to ten V input and can be dimmed from 0 to 100%.
Mean Well PWM Series
Ranging from 40W to 120W, Mean Well PWM Series is engineered to dim LED strips via conventional analogue dimming signal or digital DALI command.
Its housing, with IP67 protection, allows use in humid and dusty environments, both inside and out. It meets the most recent LED regulations and for wireless solutions, WPD-06 featuring a rocker/button without battery is most suitable for new and refurbishment projects.
Truelux Drivers
Truelux drivers include constant voltage and constant current models suitable for Soraa MR16 and AR111 lamps – both with DALI, 0/1-10V, Phase, and non-dimming options.
The constant voltage drivers offer flawless dimming of the Brilliant and Vivid ranges, while the constant current drivers are designed for the 300mA MR16 lamps, offering a smooth, linear constant current output with no flickering.
Harvard CLZ 33W EyeNut Driver with ZigBee Dongle
The CLZ 33W EyeNut driver with ZigBee dongle combines CoolLED driver technology with EyeNut monitoring and management system for indoor lighting.
Providing individual luminaire control through a web interface as well as allowing energy consumption management, the 33W driver, which operates at 2.4GHz and offers dimming down to 1%, is available in built-in and remote variants. The ZigBee dongle enables the original platform to be maintained and is SELV compliant. The driver is suited to retail, office and hospitality installations.
Indata InMODULE Strada
InMODULE Strada is a constant current LED module compatible with Ledil Strada-module lenses.
A flexible low/high-bay or street-lighting solution with three basic dimensions - 50mm x 60/110/160mm and 4/8/12 LEDs respectively, allows the assembly of multiple Cree LED types (XP Series, XT-E, XHP), offering up to 6,180lm per module and different maximum power and efficacy. All three boards have an option for temperature feedback with NTC thermistor.
Tridonic TALEXXmodule
The new TALEXXmodule SLE G5 XD Advanced produces a high luminous flux of 5,000lm in modules with small LES, which means that merchandise in shops can be illuminated more precisely with a narrow beam angle. The basis for this technology is Phosphor Settlement from Tridonic, which significantly improves the cooling of the module and therefore offers the ideal solution for all applications in which flux density (lm/mm²) is a major consideration.
Soraa Optical Light Engines
A low profile series of light engines that provide fixture manufacturers access to Soraa’s full visible spectrum GaN-on-GaN LED technology. From narrow spot to flood, the light engines produce high CBCP, while the optical design provides great beam definition and smooth edges. Soraa’s engines are available in three sizes: 11, 16, 30 (or 1.5 inches—37mm, 2 inches—50mm, and 4 inches—100mm diameters); lumen outputs of 500 or 1,000 (in 95CRI); 9°, 10°, 25° and 36° beam angles; 2,700K, 3,000K, 4,000K, and 5,000K colour temperatures; and with an optional heat sink. Additionally, Soraa’s narrow spot beam light engines work with its magnetic accessory SNAP system.
