ADAPTABLE AND RELIABLE LED MODULES
In recognition of the demand for high-
performance reliable LED modules, that do
exactly what luminaire manufacturers want,
Forge has introduced a custom module
to do exactly that. Forge has never been a
one size fits all manufacturer and, with the
release of this latest customisable module
offering, the added-value they bring to
product development and manufacturing
is evident.
Every luminaire has different LOR, thermal
and optical properties, and every luminaire
manufacturer wants a USP. Forge has the
technical expertise to ensure manufacturers
get only the very best modules in their
fittings. How? With the ability to: lengthen
and shorten heatsinks, choose connectors
and wire lengths, pick heatsink colours,
add logos, and even incorporate specific
fixing and mounting methods. All whilst
giving manufacturers the peace of mind
that their module will perform thermally,
optically and reliably to pre-determined L70
expectations, through in-house testing.
Forge has also recently developed a <10⁰
optic to suit the module perfectly, fulfilling
that demand for a tight crisp beam pattern
to complement the medium and wide
offering. With Forge’s optic design and
manufacturing capability, you can also
create your own bespoke beam pattern and
achieve specific light distribution. All of this
is before you even consider your light CCT
and CRI requirements - you really can put
light where you want it!
Forge is on hand to deliver what you really
want and will do all the hard work and even
test the solution in your fitting for complete
peace of mind. So, don’t make do with
something off the shelf – choose Forge.
