PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The breadth of lighting solutions from Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas, a business region of Avnet, Inc., continues to expand. This year, Avnet’s team of lighting specialists demonstrated solutions using high-brightness light emitting diodes (HBLEDs) and Solid State Lighting from some of today’s leading suppliers.

Avnet displayed a brilliant cove lighting system, using high-powered LEDs. These versatile lighting fixtures can easily be strung together for use in architecturally domed applications, such as rotundas or planetariums. Avnet also displayed the simplicity of creating a dimmable downlight using LEDs mounted on a starboard. The downlight demonstration showed the easy transformation between dimmable, warm and cool white with the use of a ballast. Another Avnet demonstration from this year’s LIGHTFAIR, was a high-voltage DC LED pendant light. Using a high-voltage DC LED and LED driver, this demonstration showed that a light can be built with very few products, and can produce fewer ripples and less eyestrain than more complex products.
"LIGHTFAIR 2011 served witness that HBLEDs have crossed the hurdles in delivering high-performance, energy-efficient Solid State Lighting," said Cary Eskow, global director of lighting business development, Avnet Electronics Marketing. "So Avnet took this a step further - we combined cutting-edge HBLEDs with novel technology based on Avnet's extensive product offering which demonstrated forward-looking functionality, such as dynamic tunable color temperature, remote touch control systems, adaptive sensing and even see-though dimmable pendant lamps."
