the ability to utilize one power supply

According to Marcus Oechsle, Area Manager of Optoelectronics at Rutronik, "We are entirely convinced of the advantages and quality of Intematix components, and are excited about the new market opportunities it represents. Europe is very focused on 'green' technologies, and most companies in the lighting sector are looking for ways to quickly design high quality LED fixtures for use in commercial buildings and public facilities.  It is our goal to establish the Intematix brand in all the key sectors of Europe's solid state lighting industry."Among IST’s mains dimmable LED drivers, the led high bay light driver range is the first to offer up to 4 current output options from 350mA up to 1000mA. The driver has efficiencies between 82% and 88%, and enables LED fixture manufacturers to optimize fixture efficiency and light output, without the need to purchase different drivers, claims the company.

Other unique features of the MultiDIM LED driver include a loop-in, loop-out AC mains connector enabling the rapid installation and daisy chaining of multiple drivers, as well as the auto-detection of the phase dimming switch method to work seamlessly with both leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmer switches.Using 'Jacob's Ladders' provides significant benefits to our customers, including the ability to utilize one power supply and a single connector for the entire configuration, whether you are implementing one or 60 backlighting strips into your application," said Alan Bennett, VP of sales for Optek Technology. "Also, the 120° light beam angle is ideal for illuminating small- and medium-size areas, such as light boxes and PoS displays."

Additional applications for the OPA775 and OPA776 LED backlighting strips include architectural accent lighting, under-counter lighting, media illumination and large channel letter lighting.The OPA775 strips are designed for operation at 12V. Each OPA775 consists of one strip of 7.5-inch FR-4 board with three LEDs. One to 30 strips may be connected per buss. The OPA775 features Zierick 1286T connectors, enabling the construction of the "Jacob's Ladder." The total current drawn by 30 strips is 3.75A, and the strips are shipped in sets of 30.
