Megaman Q&A
Secrets of Success
Fred Bass, Managing
Director of Neonlite International Ltd, the
brand owner of MEGAMAN®, talks us through the success of the brand.
A1: MEGAMAN® has established itself as a very well respected lighting manufacturer. What do you think has helped MEGAMAN® to stand out? Fred Bass: MEGAMAN®’s 20‐year pedigree in low energy lighting, beginning with compact fluorescents and developing a range that offered the market a true equivalent to incandescent lamps, has meant that we have always been known for our expertise in environmentally efficient lighting. MEGAMAN® is now repeating this success with LED technology, initially in professional reflector lamps and modules, and now in consumer LED lamps with the broadest replacement range available.
A1: What are the most important considerations for manufacturing fixtures that will be suitable for the retail environment?

Tino Kwan chose to use MEGAMAN® LED reflector technology due to the lighting performance of the lamps, the variety of directional beam angles available and also our sustainable credentials as a company.
A1: What does the future hold for MEGAMAN®? FB: MEGAMAN® anticipates fast growth within the industry and this is because of a huge move towards LED across all sectors. MEGAMAN® will continue to champion the most sustainable approach with true retrofits for the consumer and
