Long-term View
Price and performance of LEDs are on fast-moving curves. Return on investment continues to improve, and presents a solid business case for investment today in many applications. ilumisys is dedicated to what we see as a three to five year path toward dramatically shortened ROI times, and recognizes that short-term installations with inferior products are more likely to hurt than help the cause of long-term environmentally and economically
sustainable lighting solutions.
Innovation
As core LED technology continues to improve, the surrounding technologies of power supply circuitry, thermal management, on-board intelligence, and optical performance are also evolving at a rapid pace. ilumisys leverages the global engineering resources of Altair to continue developing new products. With over 30 new patent applications since its founding, ilumisys continues to maintain its undisputed leadership position in LED replacements for fluorescent tubes.
Intellectual Property
Altair and ilumisys hold the foundational patents for replacement of fluorescent tubes with LEDs (light emitting diodes). Altair maintains a very strong position with regard to infringement, and will continue vigorous defense of its intellectual property through litigation when necessary and licensing when appropriate.
Truth
The LED lighting market is a dynamic and confused landscape of quick start-ups, importers, and hyped-up product claims. Altair and ilumisys are dedicated to truthful assessments of our products and their potential to help achieve environmentally responsible energy savings. Our published LM79 product performance numbers may not be as stunning as what you can find claimed elsewhere – but we can back up every single
number with documented laboratory testing.
We are aware the market is becoming flooded with similar looking LED products, some at a substantially lower cost. However, ilumisys offers the most highly engineered LED fluorescent tube replacement, over a decade in development, and the only product in its category free of licensing or infringement obligations. Our products are engineered with only the highest quality components. With ilumisys, you’re assured in receiving the best performing product in the marketplace that performs as claimed, backed by rock-solid warranties from an established company you can trust.
