Completely Customized Lighting Solutions

The LightSources group is a global leader in the manufacturing of high-quality standard and custom-designed lamp products.  We operate state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and maintain a large R&D division in order to incorporate proprietary technologies to create patent-protected, OEM-oriented lighting solutions.

Almost everything on our lamps can be customized and our system-level designs consider ambient operating conditions, UVC watts, operating life, and other essential performance criteria.  A lamp can be customized in the length and diameter, power, fitting sockets, and ceramic bases.  Our proprietary and patented ceramic bases are resistant to UVC radiation, ozone, heat and moisture and have a high-quality appearance.  (Other base materials are available upon request.) 

As part of our group, Cerlux is located in Oroshaza, Hungary, and is one of the leading global companies in custom thin ceramic base designs.  They have the engineering and manufacturing expertise to design and fabricate proprietary end fittings and matching sockets.  The custom ceramic parts are produced by an automated process or by a manual hand-press that requires precise engineering.  Before they are assemble in a lamp, each end fitting and socket is carefully tested at the factory.  

Ceramic manufacturing is a highly specialized process and requires customized machinery that allows us to cost-effectively handle high volume orders while ensuring a constant precise quality.  Our Cerlux engineers and developers continuously work on designing in-house tools that are used to improve the production process.  These tools are engineered with the latest up-to-date 3D compatible software and include our sparking, grinding and milling machines.   

Cerlux (as well as the entire LightSources group) is constantly evaluating our impact on the environment and have long-term goals in place to recycle, reuse, and reduce our waste. One example is that we recycle the heat from our kiln to produce hot water and heat for our office and manufacturing buildings.  See visit our website for all of the information regarding our specialty lamp products.

Innovative Fluorescent Technologies

LightSources and our leading affiliate in fluorescent lighting technology, LCD Lighting (LCDL), offer OEMs of any size a wide range of standard and customized specialty fluorescent lamps.  As the foremost high-tech designers and manufacturers in the industry, we bring a wealth of patented and propriety technologies that help to set us apart from our competitors.

Our T-2, T-4, T-5, T8 and T-12 fluorescent lamps offer custom phosphor engineering and deliver precise color temperature, CRI index, and brightness (lm/watt) in every lamp.  Our specialty lamp products include CCFL Sub-minis and HCFL-aperture and reflectors, aquarium lighting and compact fluorescents as well as fully customized solutions.

One example of LCDL’s patented technologies that demonstrates why we are the leading fluorescent lamp manufacturers is Ultra-Bright™.  The unique innovation allows us to manufacture lamps that surpass the performance and quality of anything else like it on the market today.  Our Ultra-Bright lamps have double the efficiency (lm/watts), 50% improvement in lumen maintenance, and maximized lighting uniformity. 

The Ultra-Bright technology can be applied to any hot- or cold- cathode, bent fluorescent lamp from 8mm to 25mm diameters.  With this process, we eliminate any performance loss at the bends and deliver more total lumen output for a given wattage input. 

Another example of our proprietary fluorescent technology is Robo-Bend and offers one more excellent reason to use LCDL as your fluorescent light manufacturer.  The cutting-edge technology permits serpentine hot- and cold-cathode lamps to be manufactured with automated bending processes.  Furthermore, the Robo-Bend technology decreases production time and provides clients the benefit of faster deliveries and reduced inventories.

As a specialty lamp manufacturer, we also can customize the shape, color, base, size, and ceramic end caps to your individual specifications.  We encourage you to visit LightSources’ website for all of the information regarding our proprietary fluorescent lamp technologies.
