FuturoLighting, A company focused on LED lighting solutions, introduces a smart AC LED module operating directly from 230 VAC network. Module integrates AC driver with high PFC above 0,97 offering ON/OFF and dimming functionality with stand-by consumption below 0,5 W. The module was designed in several versions covering basic, triac dimmable, analogue dimmable and smart functionality. Dimensions of the module are 100 x 100 mm with height of 5 mm for basic and 25 mm for smart version. It is first integrated approach of an AC driver together with movement sensor and smart behavior. Practically these modules are electrically behaving as real incandescent bulb (resistive load).
