Molex Unveils LED Offering for Government, Commercial and Residential Construction

Molex introduced to the government, commercial and residential construction markets the company's new series of patent-pending SSL products, the Transcend Lighting Series, which will be sold exclusively by Leviton Manufacturing Company in North America.

The new products are small, interchangeable modules, which address some of the barriers to widespread adoption of LED technology, including precise heat and current management and the necessary optical design for illumination. The sustainable format allows electrical and lighting contractors on residential and commercial sites to use Transcend LED lights in existing fixtures - from decorative wall sconces to recessed cans and track lights - all while meeting code requirements.

"The lighting market lacked a full service integrator that answered the needs of electrical and lighting contractors in the residential and commercial construction markets," said Mike Picini, vice president of Solid State Lighting, Molex. "We developed the Transcend Lighting Series for the LED marketplace to enable more rapid adoption and greater acceptance of LED lighting. The new series is plug-and-play and meets current and possible future building code requirements, including Title 24, making it easier for electrical and lighting contractors to take full advantage of LED technology."

The Transcend Lighting Series will be available in September and enables electrical and lighting contractors to incorporate LED lights into their construction projects.
