November 7, 2005—TIR Systems Ltd., a leader in light-enabling technologies for LED-based Solid State Lighting (SSL), announces the signing of a design collaboration agreement with the Genlyte Group to develop and market LEXEL-based products under the Lightolier and Canlyte brands.
The initial focus of this design collaboration will be on developing products for the architect or lighting designer specified retail, restaurant, commercial and residential markets that demand the precise white-color temperature control and dimming, as well as the energy efficiency that only TIR, through LEXEL technology, has achieved, the companies say.
The collaboration will leverage the industry leading capabilities of each firm in the design and development of lighting products that advance the LEXEL technology within the target lighting markets. Both companies are committing significant resources to this collaborative effort and Solid State Lighting in general. It is expected that LEXEL-based products will be available in the market in 2006.
