LCD
Lighting. Inc. relocated to our new headquarters and manufacturing
facility in August 1996. Our building is uniquely designed for
our needs with nearly 150,000 square feet of expansive manufacturing
space. It is located in a new industrial park in Orange, Connecticut,
only a short distance from Interstate 95, the main transportation
highway serving New England. All our lamp manufacturing and assembly
now takes place in a single place for greater control and maximum
quality assurance.
History
In
March of 1983, three engineering executives left their employer,
a Connecticut specialty lamp manufacturer and formed a new lamp
manufacturing company in West Haven, Connecticut. They had been
searching for ways to offer superior products and processes in
order to better serve O.E.M. customers. In the process, it had
become obvious that to do so, they would need to be on their own.
A new
specialty lamp manufacturer: Light Sources, Inc. was born. LSI
specializes in short-wave ultra-violet (185nm & 254nm) quartz
germicidal lamps for water and air purification, T-12 tanning
lamps and other T-12 specialty fluorescent lamps for the medical,
reprographics, and aquarium industries.
Borrowing
from the success and technical expertise of LSI in 1987, LCD Lighting,
Inc. was organized as a separate and autonomous company. LCDL
was created to develop efficient, dimmable, long-life, high color
rendering, serpentine fluorescent backlight lamps for primary
flight displays - avionics. Years of effort and R & D expense
culminated in the successful contract award by Honeywell (and
LCDL as its sole source backlight lamp supplier) in 1995 for the
AMLCD's in Boeing's 777, 737 aircraft and NASA's Space Shuttles.
As
a direct result of the intense engineering effort put forth in
the Boeing 777 AMLCD glass cockpit program, LCDL has ascended
into the preferred and dominant supplier position for all commercial,
military and private avionics AMLCD backlighting. Today LCDL employs
about 100 lamp engineers, craftsmen and technicians, with sales
in the tens of millions per year. We manufacture fluorescent lamps
ranging from 2.6mm to 38mm in diameter in both hot and cold cathode
designs. Moreover, we specialize in producing difficult custom
bent lamp configurations, apertures, and custom phosphor blends.
LCDL's customers utilize our lamps in a myriad of applications:
avionics instrumentation, automotive instrumentation, laptop computers,
combat vehicle displays, computer monitors, CNC displays, copiers,
faxes, scanners, machine vision, medical instrumentation, marine
displays, night vision systems, to mention a few.
LCD
Lighting, Inc. focuses on serving OEM applications and specialized
aftermarket replacement lamps. We are ready to be your preferred
lamp supplier!
