LISLE, Ill. September 14, 2009 - Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ: MOLX and MOLXA) today introduced to the government, commercial and residential construction markets the company's new series of patent-pending SSL products, the Transcend(TM) Lighting Series, which will be sold exclusively by Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc. in North America. The innovative 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 superior illumination. The unique, 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 Incorporated. "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 globally in September 2009 and
enables electrical and lighting contractors to incorporate LED lights into their
construction projects. Molex will showcase its first two products at the 2009
NECA Convention and Trade Show in Seattle, September 12-15 (Booth 411), which
include:
The Transcend RM2, a 2" reflector module, which provides efficient LED
