Enfis Group PLC21 April 2008 Enfis Launches 'Lighting Evolution Centre' Enfis, a world leader in the design and manufacture of LED Light Engines forhigh-power Solid State Lighting (SSL), announces the formal launch of it'sLighting Evolution Centre (LEC) in Swansea, UK. The LEC enables Enfis customers to 'evolve' their lighting product portfoliosquickly and effectively into efficient SSL solutions - either existing legacyproducts or new SSL-focused luminaires. "One of the major stumbling blocks in widespread SSL adoption, is the perceivedcomplexity and, therefore, cost and risk of integrating a LED-based light engineinto a luminaire: either retro-fitting an existing design or optimising a newluminaire" said Shaun Oxenham Enfis CEO. "The LEC has been developed over thelast twelve months to address this problem. It now provides the skills andresources for Enfis customers to integrate and evaluate very rapidly and sorealise the benefit from our smart, compact, efficient SSL light sources withsignificant reduction in time to market together with reduced cost and risk.Initial projects have included entertainment, task and street lighting, withmore in the pipeline already, and feedback to date has been excellent". The LEC is staffed by highly skilled engineers and is equipped with mechanical,thermal and optical modelling, together with hardware, software and electronicprototyping, and test and evaluation equipment. This comprehensive suite ofcapabilities can turn a concept into reality in a fraction of the time normallytaken for such activities.
