Giving lighting customers what they need
02 August, 2013 by Paul Golata*Over the past decade, LEDs have had an explosive growth in general lighting applications. LEDs offer great advantages over traditional lighting sources that include reliability, long life, reduced power consumption, small size, high efficacy and a high degree of design flexibility. LED manufacturers have been working diligently to increase creative design possibilities for customers, adapting products by incorporating a variety of packaging options. This article examines three major categories that play a key role in meeting customer demands for lighting.
