A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT
Solid State Lighting is quickly turning into a technology that promises to fundamentally change the lighting industry and how we use lighting commercially and residentially. No other lighting technology offers as much potential to save energy and enhance the quality of the environment we work and live in.
NOT ALL LED LAMPS ARE CREATED EQUAL
The main issue to date is finding the right Solid State solution that delivers on this groundbreaking technology. When creating an LED lamp there are constant tradeoffs that must be made. Most of the time this revolves around light output versus how hard you “drive” the LED’s. As you drive the LED’s harder more heat is produced which can be detrimental to the lamp and can only be controlled with proper thermal management.
Array lamps have been designed and engineered to utilize patent pending, Selective Heat Sink Technology™ (SHS), a ground breaking approach to thermal management. SHS Technology uses proprietary design and materials to lower thermal resistance to record levels, which allows an array of low power, high efficacy LED’s to achieve unmatched performance.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
Most LED lamp manufacturers use the same approach when creating a lamp. The lamps contain a small number (1-5) of high power LED dies which are thermally managed by using heavy metal housings that surround the lamp drawing heat away from the LED circuitry. This approach creates a very expensive and heavy lamp, which usually requires hand assembly and is a rather crude way to thermally manage a system.
Array LED lamps utilize a larger number (40-120) of high efficacy, low power dies and our patent pending, Selective Heat Sink Technology™ which places metal rods at key junction points where LEDs are connected to the circuit board. This means heat is drawn away right at the source and moved as quickly as possible away from the circuit board thus keeping the LED’s and electrical components cool and “happy.” By doing this we are able to automate our process which reduces cost and enables us to meet customer demand. Array lamps are also able to use injection molded housings made from Bayer MaterialScience® recycled plastics which dramatically reduces the weight of our lamps.
We have also taken care to make the switch from traditional incandescent lamps to LED technology as seamless as possible by creating a lamp that is dimmable on most commercial dimmers and always guarantee consistent lamp to lamp color quality. No longer will quality of light be sacrificed to appease sustainability demands. In addition, Array LED lamps have been rigorously tested to the standards set forth by the Department of Energy and we are heavily involved in the writing of LED standards including the Energy Star Integral LED Lamp specification.
