LOW ENERGY, HIGH GROWTH LIGHT EMITTING DIODES.

Think up to one-tenth the energy consumption of incandescent bulbs. Think extraordinary long life. Think about the future of LED lighting.

First LEDs were just indicator lights for electronics. Now LEDs seem to be everywhere. Stop lights and signage. Head lights and tail lights. Camera flashes and flashlights. Computer monitors and television sets. Undercabinet and overhead lights. Decorative lights for holidays. General lighting for every day. To say that LED lighting is a hot technology is true. But in fact LED lights run cool to the touch.

The applications for LEDs are growing and left up to designers, engineers and companies wishing to market them. To make it easier for LED product developers to chose, configure and order LEDs for use in applications, Lumileds, a maker of LED’s, and Future Electronics have joined hands to create Lumileds Future Electronics, a one-stop online resource for LED solutions developers.

Services available through Lumileds Future Electronics include assembly, board integration, illumination systems, standard and custom optics, heat management solutions and optimized power solutions as well as technical, design and manufacturing support.

LED product developers can offer their expertise by becoming part of the Luxeon Lighting Network, a pool of solution providers that have been certified for their expertise in various aspects of LED-related engineering. Lumileds products can, of course, be purchased through the website.

Like most things Internet, Lumileds Future Electronics is a global resource. Visit it at http://www.lumiledsfuture.com/ .
