Sarasota, FL. During the Company s second quarter conference call, Robert L. Soran, President and Chief Operating Officer of Uniroyal Technology Corporation (Nasdaq: UTCI), reported a new, innovative LED lighting product developed by NorLux Corp., a subsidiary of Uniroyal Technology. NorLux Corp. specializes in the design of custom lighting solutions utilizing high brightness LEDs.
The "Hex" is a hexagon-shaped high power light source designed for flexible configuration for a wide variety of lighting applications. The device employs "chip-on-board" technology which generates higher brightness output than achieved through traditionally packaged LED chips and its small size, 1.25 inches in diameter, allows the "Hex" devices to be densely clustered to achieve even greater brightness levels. Its low thermal resistance properties allow the device to be driven at higher power levels than standard LED lamps. Currently in sampling for preliminary market feedback, the "Hex" offers tremendous flexibility to lighting specialists. Applications for the device include fiber optic illumination, signage, architectural, decorative, and retail lighting solutions.
"The lighting design concepts in development at NorLux are generating interest from several areas of the lighting industry," said Mr. Soran. "The Hex is an innovative LED solution for a myriad of conventional lighting applications. We are pleased with the progress made by the NorLux team and are excited about the opportunities the Hex promises to create in the lighting industry."
