Hawthorne,
CA, USA -- Fulham Co., Inc., a leading supplier of lighting
components and electronics for commercial and specialty applications,
is pleased to announce that Fulham's new EliteControl PoE 2-Channel
LED Driver has received this year's Sapphire's Award for innovation
in LED drivers from LEDs Magazine. The awards were presented at
Strategies in Light in Las Vegas February 28.
The
Sapphire Awards are judged by a panel of industry experts using
various criteria, including innovation, user value, sustainability,
impact, and meeting a defined need. The new Power over Ethernet (PoE)
driver fills a void in the solid-state lighting market and was
developed to meet the growing demand of Fulham customers for a PoE
lighting solution. Fulham first demonstrated prototypes of its new
PoE drivers at LightFair 2018 in May 2018.
"We
are delighted that LEDs Magazine has recognized our new EliteControl
PoE driver as a recipient of its Sapphire Award," said Russ
Sharer, Vice President of Global Marketing and Business Development
for Fulham. "More of our customers are looking for luminaire
control options and new ways to harness solid-state lighting as a
platform for building automation. In fact, we have received a number
of requests for a Power over Ethernet driver, and with this new
EliteControl driver we offer both PoE and wireless Bluetooth mesh
access. It's part of Fulham's commitment to continued innovation and
anticipation of our customers' needs."
June
Griffin, publisher of LEDs Magazine (http://www.ledsmagazine.com),
said "This prestigious program allows our LED and Lighting Group
to celebrate and recognize the most innovative products and leaders
in the solid-state lighting industry. Our 2019 Finalists are an
outstanding example of companies who are making an impact."
The
EliteControl PoE 2 Channel Driver uses power delivered over an
Ethernet cable and has two-channel output for color mixing. The
driver can handle an input voltage of 42.5 to 57VDCm with an input
power of 12.95W maximum per port (as defined by IEEE 802.3af), 25.5W
maximum per port (802.3at), and 51.0W maximum per port (UPOE). This
constant current/constant power driver also includes Bluetooth mesh
wireless access for remote dimming control.
The
PoE driver output range and other functions can be preprogrammed
using Fulham's TPSB-100 SmartSet Controller and software. PoE color
tuning and diming controls are managed using an amBX Smart Control
management station that issues commands over the same Ethernet cable
that delivers power.
The
2019 Sapphire Awards winners were announced at the Gala Event at the
Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas on February 28, 2019. This event
occurs during the annual Strategies in Light show held February 26 -
March 1, 2019. More information about the Strategies in Light trade
