Business Wire
Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ: MOLX) and (NASDAQ: MOLXA) announced
today the launch of its Solid State Lighting (SSL) business unit
and introduced the company�s new series of patent-pending SSL
products, the Transcend� Lighting Series, bringing a
fully-integrated LED solution to lighting fixture manufacturers
around the world. The innovative new products are small,
interchangeable modules, which address some of the barriers to
widespread adoption of LED technology, including precise heat and
current management and the necessary optical design for superior
illumination. The unique format allows lighting fixture OEMs to
convert their current fixture designs for LEDs and be ready for
future LED technology advances.
�The lighting market lacked a full service integrator that
answered the needs of all fixture manufacturers, regardless of size
or capability,� said Mike Picini, vice president of Solid State
Lighting, Molex Incorporated. �Our SSL business unit leverages
Molex�s long-standing electrical, thermal and optical expertise,
our design and development capabilities, and our experience in
manufacturing high-volume, high-quality products. We developed the
Transcend Lighting Series for the LED marketplace to enable more
rapid adoption and greater acceptance of LED lighting.�
The Transcend Lighting Series will be available globally by
summer 2009 and will enable fixture makers to design and develop
solutions for architectural, commercial and residential
applications. The first two products will be introduced at
LIGHTFAIR International, May 5-7, in conjunction with Molex�s
partner, Seoul Semiconductor (Booth 2209) and include:
- The Transcend RM2, a 2"
reflector module, which provides efficient LED directional light
with various beam intensity and angular distribution
- The Transcend PM3, a 3�surface
puck module,�which provides a diffused optic for ambient or
decorative light
Both Transcend products are based on the AcricheTM 4W AC LED
from Seoul Semiconductor and can be directly plugged into the AC
line voltage without a converter or separate power supply. Other
product features include:
- GU 24 direct and wired
versions
- 110, 220, 277 volt options
- Color rendering index (CRI) of
80+
- Full integration with correlated
color temperatures (CCT) of 3000K and 5000K
- Beam angles including 15-degree
spot, 25-degree medium flood, 25-degree tight medium flood
- Dimmable
- UL recognized, code
compliant
- Sustainable � easily replaceable
solution
Building on the Transcend products, Molex will introduce a full
suite of solutions for the lighting market, including DC versions
