SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
GE Lighting's participation at LightFair 2011 this week spotlights the
progress that its engineering and technology teams have made with the
development of a line of energy-efficient LED edge lighting fixtures
enabled by Pentelic™ lighting solutions, an offering from Rambus
Inc. (Nasdaq:RMBS), one of the world's premier technology licensing
companies.
The new LED fixtures will be available as ultra-sleek ceiling troffers
and suspended fixtures that will appear to float in thin air through a
dramatically framed light source. Each will feature high-quality
transparent or opaque light panels coupled with Rambus MicroLens™
technology that will allow lighting designers to customize a fixture's
light output.
"At GE, we are entering a new era of solid state lighting and creating
products that will allow end users to do so much more with light," says
Steven Briggs, vice president of marketing and global product management
with GE Lighting Solutions. "Our new LED edge lighting fixtures will
represent a once-a-century turning point in the world of lighting. This
new innovation will finally make LEDs a viable solution for widespread
use in ambient commercial and residential applications."
Market demands for energy-efficient lighting solutions are drastically
increasing, and LED lighting products are the focus for the
next-generation of fixtures in architectural, retail, commercial, and
residential lighting. Rambus' Pentelic solutions enable general lighting
products to harness the benefits of LEDs by maximizing the useable light
output through precision ray angle control and excellent optical
efficiency.
"The relationship with GE showcases our innovations which enable a new
generation of advanced LED-based lighting products," says Jeff Parker,
president of the Lighting and Display Technology business at Rambus.
"Based on key Rambus innovations such as MicroLens™ optics and TruEdge™
LED coupling technology, the GE edge lighting fixtures will achieve a
level of styling, application efficiency, flexibility and precise
control of light unmatched in the industry."
