Capturing Outer Radiance and Inner Confidence Xicato, a leading manufacturer of intelligent light sources, announces the immediate availability of new commercial LED modules that make people look good – and feel good about how they look. The Beauty Series was developed in partnership with leading lighting designers and cosmetology professionals, who were looking for a light source that is more effective at helping customers match cosmetic foundations to skin tones at cosmetics counters. The new product was not only superior in comparing skin tones, but people preferred how they looked. And when customers looked better, they felt better and more confident, which is desirable in many applications other than the cosmetics counter.

Xicato, a leading manufacturer of intelligent light sources, has established new benchmarks for dimming, flicker, color consistency and lumen maintenance with the release of its XIM Intelligent LED Modules. The company has announced the availability of higher lumen packages to fill out the portfolio, a 9mm LES option in addition to the current 19mm LES option, and a true and verifiable 50,000 hour warranty.

Xicato, a leading manufacturer of intelligent light sources, announced today that it has expanded the distribution of its LED modules in collaboration with highly regarded distribution partners throughout Europe.

Xicato®, a leading manufacturer of intelligent light sources, published today on its website TM-30-15 Color Rendering results for its entire product range of XTM and XIM modules.

Xicato, a manufacturer of intelligent light sources, announced today that it has expanded its XTM product portfolio. The new module features a 9mm light-emitting surface (LES) that enables the narrow beam angles and high center beam intensities that lighting designers require, especially for retail, hospitality, and museum applications.

Xicato, enablers of the Internet of Lights, will sponsor the Midwest Sustainable Lighting Symposium, hosted by the world famous Chicago Field Museum of Natural History, on Friday, September 12, from 9:30am to 6:30pm CDT.

Charles is based in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area and will serve Xicato’s customer base throughout the mid-west. Nick is based in the United Kingdom and will serve customers in the UK and Nordic region.

New Title 24 lighting efficiency regulations that take effect in California today are likely to fuel demand for hardware and software solutions that Silicon Valley companies are poised to fulfill. Changes to California’s Title 24 are designed to reduce energy consumption as much as 30% in commercial and public spaces. Most of the changes rely on electronic components and software controls that are becoming more common with the adoption of LED based lighting solutions. Advances have already been made for street lighting and parking lots and further efficiency gains will be realized. But the real energy savings ahead will be the result of more stringent regulations for indoor spaces, specifically retail, hospitality and office environments, where lighting is used for a significant part of the day.

Digital Lumens and Xicato today announced a strategic partnership to bring wireless intelligent solutions to professional indoor applications, drive adoption, and lower the cost of ownership of energy efficient, smart lighting.

Integration of connectivity, sensors and software creates a powerful light point that enables digital, networked control and efficacies greater than 100 lumens per Watt

Xicato announced availability of its new XTM module. With more than 100 lumens per Watt at operating temperatures, XTM is a cost effective module that outperforms competitors by as much as 20% in its 1300, 2000 and 3000 lumen packages. The Zhaga compatible mechanical interface enables virtually any luminaire manufacturer to quickly and easily incorporate XTM into existing luminaires and for the first time offer Xicato’s renowned light quality and consistency to a broader portion of the professional lighting market without sacrificing system efficiency. 

Access Fixtures is proud to announce the addition of two new square bollard lights each powered with 30 watt Xicato light modules. The new styles expand Access Fixtures' latest square bollard series. One style features type 5 glass and top-mounted Xicato LED light modules that emits light out and down via wide optics. The other features a traditional style reflector. The Xicato LED light module is directed up while the light bounces down off the reflector. The new luminaire designs are based on top-selling round bollard lights. Bollard lights are ideal for safely illuminating paths, walkways and landscaping.

Xicato announced that its 4000 lumen XSM LED module achieves new levels of light output and light density without increasing the form factor or light emitting surface. This enables more light in applications and, it allows for better, tighter beam control from luminaires that incorporate the XSM light source.

Xicato announced that it has relocated its San Jose headquarters to accommodate a new manufacturing line for the company’s next generation of products. The new 24 thousand-square-foot space is more than double the size of Xicato’s previous San Jose facility.
