inVisua BV develops cutting-edge Solid State Lighting products. We will help you to make the transition from conventional light sources to LEDs.
Our range of services is broad: from answering simple questions and assessing the validity of concepts and ideas on one end, to the complete development of new products on the other end. Whether your needs for support are small or large, we can help.
Call us if you’re in need of expert advise on the following topics:
As small as they are, LEDs pack an amazing amount of technology. Depending on your application, you may need to know about things like droop, binning, hot-cold factor, dominant wavelength, flux distribution, and many other topics that play a role when using these devices. We know them all, and have the tools to perform simulations and measurements to gather further insight.
Getting the most out of LEDs is not always a straightforward task. If one wants to take advantage of the high efficiency of LEDs, high quality optical systems with little losses are often required. Using Breault Research’s ASAP, a professional software package for optical design, we develop optical systems, from simple reflectors and collimator lenses to complex projection systems. Prototypes can be built in co-operation with our partners, and our lab facilities allow for accurate measurements and analysis of the results.
Making the right balance between the various aspects of a system is a tough job: complex trade-offs need to be made. Use a larger heat sink or reduce the LED current? Use a single high-power LED or multiple low-power LEDs? Lower the current to improve efficiency or pay more for more efficient LEDs? We have navigated this field many times, and we will help you make the right choices.
Making the transition from conventional light sources to LEDs can be a complex process. We have gone through this process for many applications: traffic signals, signage, LCD backlights, street lighting, spots, projection systems, wall washers, downlights, office lights, and several others. Your application is sure to fit in there somewhere.
A good design is worthless if the performance cannot be verified. Our lab facilities allow us to measure and verify the performance of our designs with the highest level of detail.
We can measure optical characteristics, such as radiation patterns and spectral distributions, but also typical LED characteristics, such as performance shifts caused by changes in drive current or temperature.
When it is time to realize prototypes or start production, our partners come in play. Whether you need injection-molded optics, printed circuit boards or assembly facilities for complete products.
Our partners have facilities both in Europe and in Asia, to facilitate both fast prototyping and smaller volumes, as well as high-volume manufacturing.
