For operation of LED modules

Direct current (constant current) is always required to operate LEDs. To obtain this constant current, there are three components in each operating device (LED driver): a transformer, a rectifier and a constant current regulator. In constant voltage operation, the constant current regulator becomes a component of the LED module and is no longer a part of the operating device.

The advantages of constant voltage are the simple expandability and safety due to the safety extra-low voltage (SELV). LED modules with constant voltage can only be connected in parallel. A…

We are pleased to announce that we have sold our LMS Outdoor product division to our Australian based partner LVX Global with effect from 1 September 2020.

LVX Global handles the worldwide distribution of all networkable NB-PLC and HD-PLC products (iPC, iLC, iDC, iLIC, iLUX, iCCU).

RESPIREM is the result of a solidarity initiative to develop and manufacture a field ventilator that works autonomously thanks to the installation of batteries. The aim is to provide vital support to the country's health centres and field hospitals, which are overwhelmed by the rush of patients and lack of ventilators.

Price increase of 4% on each new order placed for all LED drivers, LED modules, LED lighting solutions and light management products

These factors have ultimately also resulted in a considerable hike in company costs.

Process optimisations were able to compensate for a part of these increased costs, but not fully.
Consequently, this new situation…
