Japan's Quantum Lighting Products Limited will team up with Future Lighting Solutions, a division of Future Electronics to develop an LED retrofit for E26-base incandescent light bulbs.
In this cooperation, Future Lighting Solutions will provide engineering assistance, such as input on LED board layout, thermal management, consultation on board assembly on the production line, as well as inventory management services to ensure that Quantum receives LEDs from selected color, flux and forward voltage bins for consistent appearance and performance.
In addition, the retrofits utilize LUXEON Rebel LEDs, are being marketed through Japanese retail stores under the country's well-known Elpa brand, and are available in four cool and warm white models designed to replace 40W and 60W bulbs.
Each 4W or 5.5W retrofit bulb contains three or five LUXEON Rebel LEDs, lasts up to 40,000 hours, and consumes 1/10 the energy of its incandescent counterpart.
