Business Wire
Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc., North America�s foremost
manufacturer of electrical and electronic wiring devices for OEM
lighting fixture customers, and Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ:
MOLX)(NASDAQ: MOLXA), a leading supplier of interconnect products
worldwide, have entered into a strategic alliance to deliver LED
lighting solutions to manufacturers of commercial, industrial and
residential lighting fixtures. The partnership will align Molex�s
Transcend� Lighting Series of LED products with Leviton�s extensive
distribution and sales networks, helping to drive the adoption of
LED light source technology to fixture manufacturers on a global
scale.
�The Transcend line of easy-to-implement, plug-and-play LED
products overcomes many of the existing barriers which have
prevented the widespread adoption of this key light source
technology by today�s fixture manufacturers. Molex�s superior
technology and efficient integration solution overcomes many of
these implementation issues, and we are pleased to partner with
them on this exciting new venture,� said Chris Doveala, Vice
President of Leviton�s OEM business.
�Until now, the lighting market lacked self-contained, modular
LED products that effectively addressed the needs of today�s
fixture manufacturers. Leviton�s long-standing presence in the
lighting industry combined with its extensive distribution and
sales networks make it the ideal partner for this exciting joint
initiative,� said Mike Picini, Vice President of Solid State
Lighting, Molex Incorporated.
This new product offering enables fixture manufacturers to
concentrate on their designs by allowing the seamless integration
of new, high-efficacy, solid state LED technology to convert
existing light fixtures in the market or to design in the new
fixture production process. These products offered exclusively
through Leviton are compact, interchangeable modules that address
issues such as precise heat and current management as well as
superior illumination. The products are dimmable using Leviton
dimmers and can connect to fixtures using Leviton GU24 base
sockets.
The first two products in the line will be unveiled at this
year�s International Lightfair show being held May 5 � May 7 at the
Javits Center in New York City. They include: the Transcend RM2
which provides efficient LED directional light with various beam
intensity and angular distribution, and the Transcend PM3,which
provides a diffused optic for ambient or decorative light . Both
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.
