Molex & Bridgelux launch 120V AC sustainable light module
MOLEX INCORPORATED AND BRIDGELUX introduced the Helieon 120V AC Sustainable Light Module, a modular solid-state lighting solution that connects directly to 120V AC line voltage input. Eliminating the need for external drivers not only dramatically simplifies the design-in process, but also enables more efficient and consistent lighting performance.
The Helieon 120V AC module is TRIAC dimmable down to less than 5% and is compatible with a wide range of available dimmers, enabling it to easily interface with many typical electrical installations. In addition to the electronic driver functionality, the available product options for the Helieon 120V AC module have been expanded
“The Helieon 120V AC solution fully integrates the electronics into the module, reducing the variability found from the various driver manufacturers and providing light fixture manufacturers with a simplified
design that offers all the benefits and flexibility of its predecessor, the award- winning Helieon module,” said Mike Picini, vice president, solid-state lighting, Molex.
Combining solid-state lighting technology from Bridgelux and engage-and-turn interconnect technology from Molex, the Helieon Sustainable Light Module simplifies the process of designing, building, replacing and upgrading luminaires for many lighting applications.
“Our goal at Bridgelux is to continue reducing the complexity and cost of using LED technology for the general lighting market,” said Jason Posselt, Bridgelux vice president of marketing. “The Helieon 120V AC module is another example of our commitment to developing the industry’s broadest range of high-performance, energy-efficient solid-state lighting solutions to meet the demands of our rapidly growing customer base.”
Oclaro joins the EPIC Board of Governors
THE EUROPEAN PHOTONICS INDUSTRY CONSORTIUM (EPIC) has announced that Oclaro has joined the Governing Board of the Consortium. The company will be represented by Andy Carter, Chief Technology Officer, who will help EPIC promote sustainable growth for photonics industries and R&D organisations across Europe.
EPIC promotes sustainable growth for photonics industries and R&D organisations across Europe through initiatives to build revenues, improve access to R&D resources, and development of timely market and technology information. In 2010, the ROI to EPIC members exceeded 11 times investment. Since its inception in 2003, EPIC members working together have transformed the landscape for photonics in Europe.
The Governing Board defines the principal directions of EPIC, including focus areas, strategy, resources and membership. Oclaro joins Aixtron, Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunication / Heinrich-Hertz-
Institute, IQE and Sagem. The EPIC Board is presided by Drew Nelson of IQE. Oclaro has been a member of EPIC since 2004. The company will be represented by Andy Carter, Chief Technology Officer. He has global responsibility for Technology reporting into the CEO, Alain Couder. Prior to Oclaro, Carter held senior technology positions within Bookham, Marconi and Plessey, where he has been responsible for many aspects of optoelectronic device design, applications and engineering. He views membership of the EPIC organisation as an important element in driving innovation and leadership in photonics, and is particularly significant as Oclaro has major R&D and chip manufacturing sites in Europe.
Carter was educated at Oxford University and received the D. Phil degree for his studies of impurities in semiconductors. He is the recipient of the Patterson Medal from the Institute of Physics, and the GEC Nelson Gold Medal and Prize. His home base is at Oclaro’s Caswell facility in the UK, where GaAs and InP based devices are designed and fabricated.
