Service life and failure rate

When used in combination with LED modules, a driver's service life and failure rate are further key criteria. In practical application, care should be taken to ensure components perfectly match to prevent damaging the system due to the presence of an "inferior" component.

High-quality drivers provide a service life of ≥ 50,000 hours with a failure rate of 0.2% per 1,000 hours. Low-performance devices come with a service life of 30,000 hours and failure rates of 0.5% per 1,000 hours.

Our partner from the USA has been developing and producing high-quality semiconductor for about 30 years. CREE has been our partner for an extensive range of LEDs since 2004. The product range includes a wide range of high brightness, high power LEDs offered in SMD as well as THT and COB technology.

To complement our LED range, we offer secondary optics and reflectors from our partners Carclo (www.carclo.com) and LEDiL (www.ledil.com). The product range includes a large selection of optics, optic holders and reflectors made of PMMA and silicone. We specifically stock up on a wide range of products to match the LEDs from CREE and Nichia we offer.




We develop and produce a variety of LED optics for shop, office, hall and street lighting for you. Optics are available in various designs (round, square, linear) made of high-quality materials (PMMA, silicone) and with any beam angles (narrow/wide, asymmetrical or combined).
