Enfis, a specialist in the design and manufacture of LED Light Engines for high-power Solid State Lighting (SSL), announces the formal launch of its Lighting Evolution Centre (LEC) in Swansea, UK.

The LEC enables Enfis customers to ‘evolve’ their lighting product portfolios quickly and effectively into efficient SSL solutions – either existing legacy products or new SSL-focused luminaires.

“One of the major stumbling blocks in widespread SSL adoption, is the perceived complexity and, therefore, cost and risk of integrating a LED-based light engine into a luminaire: either retro-fitting an existing design or optimizing a new luminaire” said Shaun Oxenham Enfis CEO. “The LEC has been developed over the last twelve months to address this problem. It now provides the skills and resources for Enfis customers to integrate and evaluate very rapidly and so realize the benefit from our smart, compact, efficient SSL light sources with significant reduction in time to market together with reduced cost and risk. Initial projects have included entertainment, task and street lighting, with more in the pipeline already, and feedback to date has been excellent”.

The LEC is staffed by highly skilled engineers and is equipped with mechanical, thermal and optical modelling, together with hardware, software and electronic prototyping, and test and evaluation equipment. This comprehensive suite of capabilities can turn a concept into reality in a fraction of the time normally taken for such activities.
