With five new Advanced Technologies added to the Matrix Platform, lighting manufacturers now have access to more competitive advantages to outpace their competition. 

The Zhaga Consortium, a global lighting-industry consortium that is standardizing LED light engines and associated components, has published Book 9 as its latest interface specification.

Grandlite has launched a heavy-duty die-cast construction with modular LED light engine design. This slim-profile luminaire is perfect for parking garage, canopy or high ceilings applications. It provides an easy installation with quick mount structure for contractors to work safely and easily in the confined-space areas.

Harvard Engineering, has launched its next generation of off-the-shelf LED light engines. The Gen II range consists of; 24mm and 40mm wide strip light engines in both high and low voltage variants, 2 panel light engines and a circular light engine.The strip light engines; LER1, LER2, LER3 and LER4 are available in 280mm and 560mm lengths, with Zhaga compliance. The low voltage panel light engines are 270mm x 270mm (LER5) and 242mm x 260mm (LER6), LEC1, the circular light engine, comes in 200mm Diameter. NTC temperature sensor options and Emergency options are available on LEC1, LER3, LER4, LER5 & LER6.

Future Lighting Solutions announced an exclusive line of light engines designed to accelerate the development, prototyping and delivery of solid state lighting applications as well as reduce fixture development costs. The first light engines in the new simpleLED program are available in 12 form factors and 600-plus customization options, all featuring ANSI-binned LUXEON(R) Rebel LEDs integrated with key components.

It’s reported that Sunovia Energy Technologies, Inc. announce that it will provide its high-efficiency EvoLucia(TM) LED light engines to Precision-Lighting for use in their TMD Series flood light. The $2 million agreement calls for Sunovia to deliver 20,000 light engines to Precision, who will integrate them into a completed luminaire.
