Future Lighting Solutions Launches Line of LED Light Engines

Author: SSLighting Design News Staff

February 4, 2010... Future Lighting Solutions a maker of LED light engines using Luxeon Rebel LEDs, has created an exclusive line of light engines designed to accelerate the development, prototyping and delivery of solid state lighting applications as well as reduce fixture development costs. The new simpleLED program light engines are reportedly available in 12 form factors and 600-plus customization options, all featuring ANSI-binned Luxeon Rebel LEDs integrated with key components.

The light engines come in twelve off-the-shelf configurations that are available for immediate shipment. These include: linear, circular and square layouts with 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 9 white 3000K, 3500K or 4000K LEDs. Each assembly incorporates circuit boards, LEDs, Tyco Electronics connectors, and 10mm, 20mm, Tri-Lens or ultra-wide Carclo optics. Applications for the light engines range from recessed downlights to low bay, cove, wall wash, display case, under cabinet, desk/task and street/area lighting.

Custom configurations can be easily specified online with Future's new Light Engine Builder and shipped in four weeks. Additional customization including color LEDs and alternative optics is available with slightly longer lead times. The company says that all the light engines in the program offer a three-year manufacturer's warranty as well as the full benefits of the Luxeon Rebel platform, including the ability to support drive currents up to 1000mA, compliance with ANSI color binning requirements, and a minimum CRI of 80. The LEDs are also UL Recognized, eliminating the need for a full in-system LED component investigation to obtain UL Listed status for new luminaires built with Future's light engines.

"LED light engines save time and development costs for smaller manufacturers, those with limited LED development experience, companies with rapid prototyping needs, and others by reducing engineering, sourcing and assembly needs. But until now, the selection in the market has been very small," said Danny Miller, Vice President - Lighting Integration for Future Lighting Solutions. "The breadth of product and extensive customization available through our simpleLED program mark a quantum leap in simplifying solid state lighting development."
