Molex Incorporated introduced to the government, commercial and residential construction markets the company's new series of patent-pending SSL products, the Transcend™ Lighting Series, which will be sold exclusively by Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc. in North America. The innovative new products are small, interchangeable modules, which address some of the barriers to widespread adoption of LED technology, including precise heat and current management and the necessary optical design for superior illumination.  The unique, sustainable format allows electrical and lighting contractors on residential and commercial sites to use Transcend LED lights in existing fixtures – from decorative wall sconces to recessed cans and track lights – all while meeting code requirements.

The Transcend Lighting Series will be available globally in September 2009 and enables electrical and lighting contractors to incorporate LED lights into their construction projects.  Molex will showcase its first two products at the 2009 NECA Convention and Trade Show in Seattle, September 12-15 (Booth 411), which include:
The Transcend RM2, a 2" reflector module, which provides efficient LED directional light with various beam intensity and angular distribution;
The Transcend PM3, a 3" surface puck module, which provides a diffused optic for ambient or decorative light.

Both Transcend products are based on the Acriche™ 4W AC LED from Seoul Semiconductor and can be directly plugged into the AC line voltage without a converter or separate power supply.
