NiteN has introduced an LED alternative light source called 2D-Lite that significantly reduces the cost of solid-state lighting (SSL) at a price ratio of $10/600 lumens, and new products are expected to enter the market in 2014.
As can be seen from the product's vertical centerline cross section, the printed circuit board (PCB) carries the LEDs and drivers. This design eliminates the connection between the LEDs and the driver circuit, directly using the metal-plated board as a heat sink and Reflectors increase space utilization and reduce costs.
Andy Turudic, founder of NiteN, said: "The hemispherical design perfectly distributes the light to different angles, and the reflective design of the board adds reflections to the forward beam."
The low cost advantage of the product is obvious. Because the 2D-Lite design allows the product to be placed on the assembly line, the screw mounting of the bulb is also integrated on the circuit board, so the product does not need to be hand soldered or assembled, thus reducing the cost. Quite a lot. However, the initial mass production required a lot of money, including the cost of building a plastic base injection mold, and the company is working hard to raise funds on the Indiegogo Social Funding website, which is part of the Philips Innovation Researcher program on the site.
Turudic said the product is expected to drop to $6 in 2015 and to $3 in 2017, which will allow for better access to the lighting market.
