Bridgelux and Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ: MOLX)(NASDAQ: MOLXA)
announced today that they have received the LIGHTFAIR International
(LFI) 2010 Most Innovative Product of the Year Award for the
Helieon Sustainable Light Module. LFI, the world’s largest annual
architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference,
announced the award today at its LFI Innovation Awards ceremony.
This is the highest award bestowed by the judges and recognizes the
best new product out of nearly 200 submissions. The product also
won in the category of “specialty lamps,” one of the 14 product
categories evaluated by an independent panel of renowned lighting
professionals.
“We are incredibly honored to receive the highest award from our
peers in the lighting industry,” said Mike Picini, vice president
of solid-state lighting, Molex. “It demonstrates that Molex is a
legitimate force in the solid-state lighting arena and that we can
successfully apply our core expertise to develop products like
Helieon, which is transforming the lighting industry.”
Helieon is an LED light source that turns and locks into place,
emulating traditional lighting sockets and allowing users to alter
beam angle, color temperature or light output without removing or
replacing the luminaire. It combines industry-leading solid-state
lighting technology from Bridgelux with innovative, easy-to-use
interconnect technology from Molex.
“Bridgelux is delivering energy-efficient LED lighting solutions
that are driving the transformation of the $100 billion lighting
industry,” said Bill Watkins, Bridgelux CEO. “Providing high
quality light and an easy, familiar installation experience at a
price point to enable mass adoption, Helieon delivers on the
promise of solid state lighting.”
With meticulous attention to performance, design, and ease of
use aesthetics, the award winning Helieon Sustainable Light Module
is changing the way LED lighting solutions are used. Emulating the
familiar bulb and socket, the Helieon light source and socket
system delivers effortless installation, interchangeability and
upgradeability, allowing manufacturers to deliver a variety of
lighting effects from a single luminaire design and take advantage
of future LED technology improvements, pre or post installation.
Lighting environments can now be easily changed or adapted by
switching beam angles, color temperatures or light output at the
module level, without any change to the luminaire, just like
changing a light bulb.
Helieon is currently on display at LIGHTFAIR International 2010,
May 12-14 in Molex booth 1741 and Bridgelux booth 2173. For more
