Millerbernd Lighting has taken an active leadership role in the manufacturing of custom Solid State Lighting (SSL) fixtures. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) which had been commonly used in signs, signals, decorations and displays for years can now provide light sources for general commercial and industrial illumination applications. This SSL technology significantly lowers energy consumption and can reduce maintenance costs in marine, signage, industrial or transportation applications. Unlike traditional lighting, SSL creates visible light with reduced heat generation or parasitic energy dissipation providing greater manufacturing flexibility and customization. In addition, the solid-state nature of SLL provides for greater resistance to shock, vibration, and wear, thereby increasing its lifespan significantly. Millerbernd Lighting believes that LED illumination will replace nearly all of the traditional bulb technology in Millerbernd’s stainless steel underpass, road, marine and garage lighting fixtures within just a few years. This evolution will only improve the performance features of our already best in class weather resistant and low maintenance stainless steel product line. As important is that all of Millerbernd Lighting’s fixtures are engineered and manufactured-in-the-USA. The addition of SSL to its core product line will only enhance Millerbernd’s commitment to quality, performance, and reducing energy consumption. Whether you’re just investigating SSL; in need of a lighting performance review or comparison, or just looking for a custom production quote, contact Millerbernd Lighting at 320.485.2685. BENEFITS OF SSL / LED Fixtures - Uses Less Energy – High efficiency LEDs offer over 100 lumens from a one-watt device. Higher output and higher drive currents.
- Increase in lifespan - Greater resistance to shock, vibration, and wear. Properly engineered LED’s can last over 50,000 hours.
- High Durability - No filament or tube to break creates less maintenance.
- Design Flexibility – Small LEDs can be arranged in rows, rings, clusters, or individual points
- Full Dim Ability – Unlike fluorescent lamps, LEDs can be dimmed using pulse-width modulation. This also allows full color mixing in lamps with LEDs of different colors.
- Mercury-Free - Unlike fluorescent and most HID technologies, LEDs contain no hazardous mercury or halogen gases.
