Marketwired
Bridgelux and Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ: MOLX) (NASDAQ: MOLXA)
today introduced the first LED lighting solution designed and
priced to drive rapid, mass market adoption of LED lighting
technology. The new Helieon™ Sustainable Light Module combines
industry-leading solid state lighting technology from Bridgelux
with innovative, easy-to-use interconnect technology from Molex,
delivering to interior and exterior luminaire manufacturers
effortless installation, interchangeability and upgradeability. At
a volume price point at less than $20 per unit* and a lifespan of
more than 10 years**, Helieon is one of the industry's highest
quality, most cost-effective solid state lighting solutions, and it
will change the way LED lighting solutions are used. Helieon also
helps lighting manufacturers reduce energy costs and environmental
waste for a sustainably designed lighting environment.
"Helieon will quickly debunk the myth that solid state lighting
isn't ready for mass adoption," said William Watkins, CEO of
Bridgelux. "Providing high quality light and an easy and familiar
installation experience at a price point to enable mass adoption,
Helieon delivers on the promise of solid state lighting. With
Helieon, solid state lighting is poised to displace conventional
incandescent, fluorescent and other technologies in many
high-volume general lighting applications, creating a $100 billion
market opportunity. Together, Bridgelux and Molex are creating a
new, massive market segment for solid state lighting."
Bridgelux, Molex Collaborate for
Innovation Bridgelux and Molex, both leaders in their
respective industries, joined forces to create a best-in-class and
price disruptive solid state light module comprised of completely
recyclable components. Helieon combines LED Array products from
Bridgelux with Molex interconnect technology to create a socketed
plug-and-play solution that can be easily integrated into a wide
variety of luminaires. The separable source and socket system
emulates a traditional bulb and socket, allowing manufacturers to
deliver a variety of lighting effects from a single luminaire
design. Initial product offerings include between 500 and 1,500
lumens in 3000K warm white or 4100K neutral white, combined with
precision optics to deliver narrow, medium or wide flood beam
angles. The product's simple, adaptable design, high performance
and competitive price point give lamp and luminaire manufacturers
unprecedented flexibility and opportunities in design and
marketing.
The Bridgelux Arrays used in the Helieon Sustainable Light
Module deliver between 500 and 1,500 operational lumens
(performance comparable to or greater than 40 to 75 Watt
incandescent bulbs) in a compact high flux density light source.
These integrated solutions deliver high quality light without
pixilation, closely replicating the beam quality of traditional
light sources. Patented Bridgelux technology enables an
industry-leading thermal resistance with exceptional brightness and
color uniformity. Helieon combines the Bridgelux LED Array with a
precision beam control optic to further simplify the design process
for the luminaire manufacturer and enable high quality
lighting.
The Molex interconnect technology provides a remarkably easy and
familiar installation experience, simplifying the design effort and
allowing luminaire designers, commercial end-users and consumers to
upgrade, interchange, and replace modules, altering and controlling
their environment as desired. Leading the industry in defining and
driving an interconnect standard, the Molex patented design can
adapt to a wide range of fixture configurations.
"Helieon represents the commitment of Bridgelux and Molex to
break the LED lighting mold by developing and building products
designed to meet specific lighting applications and market needs,"
said Mike Picini, vice president of solid state lighting, Molex
Incorporated. "The availability of high quality, plug-and-play,
flexible, and cost-effective solid state lighting solutions such as
Helieon, delivers on the promise to simplify and enable LED
integration for OEM fixture makers and critical players in the
transformation of the lighting industry."
Product Availability Helieon will be
available for production shipments in May. The product carries a
three year warranty and provides the efficacy to enable luminaires
to meet Energy Star, Title 24, Part L and other global regulatory
standards. Helieon is RoHS compliant, and the companies are in the
process of securing UL recognition to further simplify the design
and customer acceptance process. For more information, please visit
