LED powerhouse Lighting Science® announced its latest innovation with the release of its high-performance linear lighting solution, the L-Bar™. Delivering up to 4,500 lumens, the L-Bar is so powerful that one linear luminaire can replace a standard 2’ x 4’ fluorescent troffer, making it the ideal solution for new commercial construction and for legacy fluorescent lighting replacement.

Supertex, manufacturer in high voltage analog and mixed signal integrated circuits (ICs),  introduced PS30, a constant frequency (67kHz), constant duty cycle LED driver optimized for dimmable off-line LED bulb/tube applications, providing high power factor correction (PFC). PS30 is intended to drive a single switch, single inductor power converter (flyback for isolated version and buck-boost for non-isolated version) directly from AC line, 110V or 220V, for power levels up to 20W. PS30DB1 demo board provides a 6.3W design solution, achieving 93% PFC and greater than 81% efficiency with +/-4% current accuracy. It can be modified for other power levels up to 20W.

ilumisys, Inc., a developer and producer of next-generation solid-state lighting technology, announced that its channel partner IHNcorp has installed several LED light tubes at Four Seasons Resort Aviara in Carlsbad, Calif. illuisys notes Los Angeles-based IHNcorp and its subsidiary Ecogreen Solutions Inc. replaced fluorescent lights with ilumisys MK1 T-8 LED light tubes in select areas of the hotel.

Marktech LED Lighting Products, the definitive source for LED lighting products, introduces the T5 LED light tube. The high output, energy-efficient product was designed to insure the highest of quality and design to meet market demands. With an 80 CRI (color rendering index) and its slim design, the T5 is ideal for a variety of applications, including general or indirect lighting of display cases, wall washes and alcoves, in addition to backlighting of POP displays and vending machines.
