Future Lighting Solutions announced that it has extended its partnership with the Royal Philips Electronics.
LED Light Engine
Under the partnership, the companies will supply various types of component solutions and services to OEM clients for the development of finished solid-state LED lighting products.
The new agreement enables the customers to leverage certain LED light engines that fall under Future Lighting’s simpleLED program with the Philips LED licensing program, thus making these engines eligible for 0% royalty payments. These LED engines use LUXEON LEDs from Philips Lumileds and feature a clover-shaped Philips symbol that can be identified instantly.
The partnership arrangement provides the customers access to Philips’ driver modules, lighting controls and LED engine modules. It also allows customers to make use of the SSL development tools and other engineering resources from Future Lighting Solutions together with the products of Philips to reduce the time taken for bringing the product to market.
The extended relationship is designed to make the development of LED luminaire simple and speed up the time to market. The new arrangement enhances the simpleLED program that saves time in the sourcing, engineering and designing work and provides preassembled light engines in 12 different ready-made form factors along with options for different color temperatures, LED counts, board layouts and over 600 personalisation choices.
The Executive Vice President of Future Electronics, Gerry Duggan said that the new partnership helps in the speeding up the process of moving on to solid state lighting.
