ABOUT US
About Us:

We produce the next generation of LED technology at an affordable cost. Three years of exhaustive research, a network of worldwide partners and utilization of the best technology available has culminated to form Solid State Luminaires, your premier LED solution provider.

Unlike stand-alone conventional incandescent light bulbs and fluorescent sources, the performance of LED-based lighting depends heavily on fixture design to minimize performance-robbing thermal build-up and control excessive and wasteful beam spread. Check out our product line up to see some of the highest performing, most efficient products in the market. 

Our interior LED solutions offer not only affordability and energy efficiency, but also a high level of flexibility in optical controls.

Our dramatic exterior lighting solutions offer opportunities to create a complete, fully integrated building and grounds treatment.

About LED Technology:

Thanks to advances in engineering and processing technologies, aluminum and plastic have now taken on leading roles in a paradigm shift toward a greener world.

Architectural lighting is on the cusp of the first major technological change in more than 100 years. Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs), once low-power sources for flashlights and indicator lights in appliances, toys and cell phones, are surpassing the intensity and efficiency levels of incandescent and fluorescent lighting. LED technology and “Solid State Lighting” fixture engineering are advancing exponentially, enabling high-power light output for architectural applications while realizing the “green” benefits of lower power use, sustainability and minimal environmental impact.

LEDs are chips of semiconducting mineral compounds that, when subjected to a miniscule electric current, cause electrons to change energy levels and emit photons (light) as they flow through a junction between dissimilar materials. Specific wavelengths (colors) emitted by the LED depend on the materials used to make the diode.
  Top 10 Questions SSL Answer
1 How long do LED's last? The amount of usable light, which is usually 70% of original light output, is about 50,000 hours for high power LED. In a commerical application, SSL LED's will generally last about 20 years.
2 Are high-powered LED's expensive? When measured in lumens per dollar, high powered LED's are the most affordable LED available.
3 How energy efficient are LED's? LED's are over twice as efficient as incadescent lamping. Because of the directional nature of LED's, a higher overall luminaire efficiency is easily achieved.
4 Do LED's create more heat? LED's do create heat, but less than other light sources, SSL LED's have been designed with patent pending heat sinks to dissipate heat away from the source, which increases life expectancy.
5 Do LED's produce enough light for general lighting applications? High power LED's do create enough light for most lighting applications. Because LED's technology advances so rapidly, the possibility of applications expand daily.
6 Is LED white light good enough to replace incadescent light? High brightness warm white in 3200k closely matches the backbody curve of incadescent.
7 How high is LED color rendering index? SSL LED's offer CRI of 90+
8 Are white light LED's consistant in color? Some LED manufacturers produce inconsistent LED white light. Due to patent pending technology, SSL LED's offer uniform and consistent white with minimal color shift.
9 Are LED's the most environmentally friendly light source? SSL LED's are RoHS compliant and are extremely energy efficent light sources.
10 How durable are LED's? Because LED light sources have no glass or filaments to break, they are the natural solution for rough service applications.
