Avnet Silica has expanded its array of cutting-edge solid-state lighting products. The company is now stocking the driver technology for powering LED luminaires for both indoor and outdoor deployment made by Shenzhen-based manufacturer Lifud.

The breadth of applications that can be supported by Lifud drivers is comprehensive, allowing even the most demanding technical challenges or budgetary constraints to be thoroughly addressed. Among these applications are domestic lighting (downlights, ceiling lights, etc.), retail lighting (spotlights, track lights, panel lights, etc.), office illumination, bay lights and street lighting.

“Through this supply chain partnership with Avnet Silica, we will have access to the huge amount of business activity currently being generated within Europe by solid-state lighting innovation,” states Xuewen Chen, deputy general manager at Lifud. “We will benefit greatly from the relationships that Avnet Silica’s sales and FAE staff have built with their customers, as well as being able to rely on their exceptional engineering and application knowledge to ensure that projects prove successful.”

”The addition of Lifud to our solid-state lighting ecosystem puts Avnet Silica in a really unique position to serve this rapidly growing market,” adds Philippe Benedet, lighting products marketing manager at Avnet Silica. “Complementing our LED franchises, it will mean we can provide complete solutions to customers looking to implement exciting new lighting systems that are certain to capture the imagination of the international marketplace.”
