MetroSpec Technology Launches FlexRad BoardOnCoil Minnie
MetroSpec Technology Launches FlexRad BoardOnCoil Minnie MetroSpec Technology® has leveraged its novel FlexRad® BoardOnCoil (BOC) technology to create the BOC Minnie. This new geometry can be used for pendant downlights, spot lights, sconces, acrylic rod lighting, and a wide variety of single-sided and double-sided directional fixtures. At less than 35mm in diameter and under 20mm in depth (including optic and heat sink), this light source is extremely compact. Powered up to 5 watts and capable of over 160 lumens per watt, the module is entirely self-cooled, requiring no separate heat sink. Read more »

LUXEON HL1Z Outperforms Seemingly Brighter Competitors, and the Proof is in the Application
LUXEON HL1Z Outperforms Seemingly Brighter Competitors, and the Proof is in the Application Data sheets have long been the go to source for LED specifications and are broadly used to narrow options and ultimately select an LED for a particular application. Too often, however, factors not accounted for in the data sheet significantly affect the LED’s performance in the application and, in some cases, relying on data sheet specifications alone will lead to the wrong conclusion. LUXEON HL1Z, Lumileds newest high power LED offers the perfect example. Read more »
