Future Lighting Solutions offers online lighting system design tool

Based on the user-selected target application and light source, the LSC lighting system design tool suggests the most appropriate system component options, including optics, LED drivers, connectors/sockets and thermal management solutions, to define a complete lighting system. The LSC also automatically provides additional details such as the optimal series/parallel light source layout for the LED drivers, mechanical compatibility of the heat sink mounting holes with the selected light source or socket, and whether the selected LED driver can power active cooling thermal solutions. “With the proliferation of available light source technologies such as low to high power LEDs, COBs, Level 2 boards and integrated modules from a variety of vendors, it has become increasingly complex and time consuming to identify the right products to meet application requirements,” commented Patrick Durand, FLS Worldwide technical director. “The LSC simplifies the light source and system solution selection process in order to start the prototyping phase sooner and reduce time to market.” The LSC is available at www.FutureLightingSolutions.com/LSC and comments or questions can be submitted to [email protected].
