Fern-Howard will incorporate Rambus-patented light guides into its products
Lighting manufacturer Fern-Howard has signed an agreement with Rambus,a technology licensing company,to develop LED products.
The agreement allows Fern-Howard to market advanced lighting products based on Rambus lighting solutions.
The products will feature Rambus patented technology,including LED edge-lit optical designs,low-cost light guide panels and MicroLens light distribution features.MicroLens optics–which have also been incorporated into GE lighting products–are three-dimensional elements,embedded in an optical waveguide or film.
"We are excited to see Rambus lighting solutions expand into the European and Middle Eastern markets with the help of Fern-Howard,"said Jeff Parker,president of the Lighting and Display Technology business at Rambus.
"Using key Rambus technologies,Fern-Howard fixtures will achieve a level of styling,application efficiency,and precise control of light unmatched in the bulkhead and utility lighting industry."
Based in Hampshire,Fern-Howard produces energy efficient lighting products and a range of compact fluorescent lamps.?As part of the collaboration with Rambus,five new edge-lit products were unveiled at Light+Building 2012.
"We believe edge-lit technology is the much sought-after link between conventional area lighting fixtures and wide-scale LED adoption,"said Peter Scott,managing director of Fern-Howard.
"It not only provides a pleasing,uniform light source,but when coupled with highly sophisticated MicroLens technology,enables a level of lighting control that is impossible to achieve with other,less efficient LED solutions."
