NiteN another way to launch a new alternative LED light source

NiteN launched a 2D-Lite LED alternative source, can significantly reduce the cost of solid-state lighting (SSL), the price of $10 /600 lumens brightness ratio, new products are expected to be put into the market in 2014.

From the vertical center line of the cross section of the products can be seen, the printed circuit board (PCB) carrying LED and drive, this design eliminates the connection between the LED and the drive circuit, the circuit board directly coated with metal as a radiator and a reflector, improve space utilization and reduce the cost.

Andy Trudyk, founder of NiteN (Andy Turudic), said: "the hemispherical design perfectly assigned to different angles of light, the reflective design of the circuit board will be added to the reflective beam in the forward. "

The advantage of low cost products is very obvious, because the 2D-Lite design can make products in the pipeline mount circuit, bulb screw mounting is also integrated on the circuit board, so the product does not require manual welding or assembly, so it can reduce the cost of many. But the initial production to a large number of funds, including the need to establish a plastic injection mold base expensive, the company is Indiegogo social capital on the website to raise money, but also a part of the site PHILPS innovation researchers plan.

Turudic said the product is expected to decline to $6 in 2015, down to $3 in 2017, so that it can better enter the lighting market.
