Brillia Announces New LED Modules for Luminaires with Thermadjust Technology

Brillia(TM), a leading provider of brilliant LED light engines, announces a new line of LED modules for luminaires utilizing Thermadjust(TM) technology. Thermadjust is a revolutionary new concept for LED modules that further enhances the usability of LED technology for general illumination. Developed specifically to decrease the likelihood of LED failure in high temperature environments, Thermadjust causes the LED modules to automatically adjust their output if ambient thermal conditions exist that could potentially cause the LED devices to fail prematurely. Using the LED device manufacturer's LM80 test data (for lumen maintenance) and ENERGY STAR requirements, the modules are intelligently engineered to ensure the junction temperature of the LEDs will always be maintained at or below levels required for proper performance and long life of the LEDs.
