SPONSORED CONTENT LED lighting and power solutions: The smart choice


The range of available LED lighting options and power supplies can make it challenging for professionals in the electronics industry, where high-quality components are vital, to choose the right solution. Russell Parr, CEO of PowerLed, looks at some key factors to consider.

iven the vast selection of lighting options and power supplies available today and considering that the perfect solution generally entails more than just a physical product, it is vital for professionals in the electronics industry to do their homework when procuring solutions.


Before searching for a specifi c product, engineers, designers, and even enthusiasts must look for the right lighting and power supply partner. The reason for considering supplier ahead of product specifi cations is simple: a supplier’s credentials, expertise, and approach can have a signifi cant infl uence on the overall quality, reliability, and performance of the selected product.


Customers at its core


When weighing up suppliers, it is important to consider how long the company has been trading for, who their key suppliers are, their history of bespoke solutions, internal expertise, and whether they take a consultative,


customer-focussed approach. The latter is particularly important, as designers and engineers can benefi t considerably from a partner that takes a strategic, tailored approach, and which places its customers’ specifi c needs at its core, ensuring that every solution is tailormade for a particular application.


It is also important to work with a supplier that, in alignment with the Energy-related Products (ErP) directive, designs products that combine energy effi ciency with resource optimisation.


PowerLed has the expertise to deliver bespoke or modifi ed solutions, whereas many lighting and power supply businesses lack the expertise or desire to look at bespoke or even modifi ed solutions. Additionally, its approach is always focussed on the customer. Instead of concentrating solely on power specifi cations or cost considerations, the company collaborates with its customers to ensure its services and solutions are perfectly aligned with customers’ objectives.


Proven products In addition to supplier specifi cations, there are also several product specifi cations to consider. Here, higher-grade components should be non-negotiable for electronics professionals as it will help achieve optimal performance, safety, longevity, and sustainability. While many suppliers today offer extensive lineups of products, few follow this up with detailed technical information, making it challenging for customers to make informed decisions. PowerLed breaks the mould by


offering expert advice and tailored technical design support, while offering high-quality LED drivers and lighting solutions that cover the spectrum of industrial, commercial and residential applications.


Additionally, beyond the point of sale, the company is committed to providing ‘total life service’, with guaranteed support to clients throughout their product’s lifespan, an approach that has been pivotal in expanding its loyal customer base for two decades.

PowerLed stands as an established and trusted leader in the LED lighting and power supply sector. Its products are equipped with best-of- breed components, innovative technologies, and EU-compliant parts, while its customer- centric approach and dedicated client service ensures customers varied needs are catered for. This includes extensive warranties or lifetime values, and cost-free lighting design support.


The company holds a noteworthy partnership with MEAN WELL. As an offi cial Tier 1 partner, PowerLed has access to more than 4,000 products from one of the world’s most signifi cant switching power supply manufacturers.


As the LED lighting and power solutions market evolves, it is crucial that buyers consider more than just the specifi cations of the product they’re interested in. For professionals in the electronics industry searching for reliable, cost-effi cient, and tailored solutions, PowerLed is the smart choice.
