Global Lighting Technologies Introduces New LED-based Edge-lighting Products

Brecksville, OH. Global Lighting Technologies (GLT), Inc., a developer of LED-based display backlights, has introduced a new range of LED-based edge-lit illumination solutions to expand its offerings beyond LCDs, keyboards, and keypads and into areas of egress lighting and general illumination. New illumination solutions from GLT include edge-illuminated LED backlight panels for exit signs, as well as downlighting, including under-cabinet, splash, desk task-lighting, refrigeration, and cabinet illumination (such as medical cabinets).

"Edge-lit LED illumination has moved well beyond its established turf in backlighting portable and handheld product displays, and so has GLT," said VP & General Manager David DeAgazio, referring to the company's background in super-efficient, ultra-thin BLU (backlighting unit) designs for a wide range of backlit displays. GLT will continue to provide BLUs for LCDs, keyboards and keypads, utilizing LED-based edge lighting and slim BLUs for maximum brightness with optimum uniformity, superior color mixing, and a smaller number of widely spaced, high-output LEDs forlow-cost manufacturing and quick turnaround.
