Companies Facts
Meinrad Braun, Sales Director at dilitronics, explains: “This solution is particularly ideal for regions with no electrical infrastructure. The driver manages all of the components – the battery, the LED and the solar pa- nel – so no external power supply is necessary for the street lamp.” The MCC16 is an additional product. Braun adds: “The MCC16 has been specially deve- loped for interior lighting based on LEDs. Various interfaces, its compact design, and the capability of individually controlling up to 16 LED modules make it ideal for innovative lighting concepts.” All products will be made available to the Chinese customers as OEM versions and will thus help to decisively drive development of local solutions.
dilitronics GmbH was founded in spring 2008 in Jena, Germany. As a technological leader in the field of driver electronics for high-brightness LEDs, dilitro- nics GmbH develops control solutions for innovative LED applications. The dilitronics products are used both outdoors for street lighting and indoors for energy-efficient lighting in e.g. hotels, offices and shopping centres.
