Philadelphia, PA – January 10, 2017 – LUXTECH today announces its flagship flexible LED tape offering: FLEX CC. The product is the first in a family of architectural-grade tapes for luminaire applications.
The performance and reliability of LUXTECH LED modules, now in flexible tape
FLEX CC is superior to previous LED tape products. It is cuttable in one inch increments — the most convenient length for North American luminaire manufacturers — and extends up to eight feet. FLEX CC works with familiar constant current drivers and utilizes Samsung 3-Step LM-80 tested LEDs up to 90 CRI. An industry-leading 2+1 oz. copper weight ensures brightness consistency and excellent thermal performance across the entire length.
LUXTECH’s flagship FLEX product maximizes performance and reliability. Specification-grade 3M VHB adhesive ensures the product will remain bound to its housing for years to come. Carefully-binned Samsung LEDs provide equivalent color consistency and performance to rigid LUXTECH LED modules. In addition, FLEX CC is backed by a comprehensive five-year warranty.
FLEX CC optimizes the luminaire supply chain
The FLEX family introduces a new supply chain paradigm for manufacturers accustomed to sourcing rigid LED modules. Cuttable in increments as short as one inch, the product is compatible with a wide variety of luminaire designs. This FLEX-ability means inventories – and associated losses – can be drastically minimized.
Because of the reduced inventory requirements and non-rigid properties of FLEX, manufacturers have increased freedom to experiment with new luminaire designs. Before LED, manufacturers were limited to a few lamp types when designing fixtures. LUXTECH pioneered custom LED modules, drastically expanding form factor possibilities. FLEX takes the LED advantage a step further, providing not only physical flexibility, but also creative flexibility.
What’s next for LUXTECH FLEX?
Over the coming weeks, LUXTECH will formally announce more products in the new FLEX family. FLEX Reach offers 99% brightness consistency over runs up to 20 feet. FLEX Swerve bends in a planar direction up to 90°, and FLEX Color supports creative luminaire and signage design with individually-addressable RGB segments.
LUXTECH supplies hundreds of miles of LED modules per year to some of the largest lighting OEMs in North America. Its customers are consistently impressed with its technical leadership and superior customer experience. LUXTECH expects to keep pushing the boundaries of LED lighting design with products like FLEX.
