World Leader in Avionics Backlighting






As part of the LightSources group, LCD Lighting, Inc. is the leading supplier for commercial, military and private avionics backlighting. We are proud to be a long-time partner and sole manufacture of the AMLCD lamps that illuminate the cockpit control displays of Boeing's 777, 767 and 737 aircraft.  In addition we were honored to play a part in our national defense with products used in the cockpit of military aircraft as well as in the NASA's Space Shuttles.

There are a number of outstanding features that set our backlighting apart from other manufacturers.  LCD Lighting offers the highest luminance, lowest power, longest life, widest dimming range and best uniformity.  Our backlights also deliver the perfect color temperature °K.  By offering efficient multiple bend lamp configurations used to backlight LCDs/AMLCDs, our sub-miniature CCFL fluorescent lamps are designed and engineered with the most advanced state-of-the-art technology.  In our unique Lamp Sub-Assemblies (LSA), the backlight lamp is mounted and wired into the backlight housing.

The AMLCD backlight technology requires custom optical light sources, filters and diffusers along with mechanical innovations such as reflective plates, trays and housing.  Avionics, Vetronics and Shipboard AMLCD displays demand high brightness lamps that are uniformly dimmable, diffusible and extremely reliable.  In larger displays and those with information density, the performance and backlighting requirements are increased.  This is why LCD Lighting’s HCFL’s (hot-cathode fluorescent lamps) offer cost-effective solutions for the air and space industry. 

We provide the industry with long life HCFL lamps in a large variety of sizes and customized shapes that deliver high intensity, superior uniformity and easily dimming capabilities.  With close to three decades in the avionics lamp industry, LCD Lighting continues to bring revolutionary technological advances and extensive expertise to the field.   

LightSources and our affiliated companies, LCD Lighting, Voltarc along with strategic partners LightTech, and Cerlux represent the leading high-tech designers and manufacturers in the lamp industry today. Our products are used worldwide and are found in a multitude of applications and industries such as our UV germicidal lamps that offer patent-protected, OEM-oriented solutions.  Please contact us to learn more about our broad range of standard and custom specialty lamps.

Purifying Drinking Water Safely and Effectively





As nearly every source of drinking water in the U.S. contains some level of contamination due to toxic bacteria, chemicals and heavy metals, the public needs effective ways to purify water.  A method that is becoming increasingly more popular with municipalities is UV treatment systems.  They are one of the safest and most economical means of purifying drinking water and adhere to government regulations. 

Unlike water chlorination disinfection, the UV approach does not require specialized operators to run the plant or a constant supply of potentially hazardous material.  Other advantages to UV technology are it does not leave any byproducts or change the color, taste, odor or pH of the water.  It has also proven to be more effective than chlorine treatment against parasites such as giarrdia and cryptosporidium.  These bacteria can cause severe diarrhea and even death especially in the elderly and very young children.  

As a leading designer and manufacturer of proprietary UV germicidal bulbs, LightSources, along with our strategic partner, LightTech, offer safe, simple, and cost-effective solutions for a multitude of industries that require water, air and surface sterilization.  Our low pressure standard quartz germicidal lamps and low pressure high output germicidal lamps are used throughout the world to disinfect, sanitize and oxidize drinking water, as well as to reduce TOCs and chloride/chloramines. 

LightSources UV lamps can generate UV radiation at 185nm and 254 nm.  This combination is designed for the photooxidation of organic compounds.  Radiation at 185nm produces ozone, which is active oxygen, and is one of the most effective natural bactericides killing almost every form of virus.  Radiation at 254nm is a highly effective sanitizer, and at this wavelength, UVC is absorbed by the organism’s DNA, which eliminates its ability to reproduce.  We encourage you to visit our website as it contains much more information about our UV products as well as all of our other specialty lamps.  

LightSources and our affiliated companies represent the leading high-tech designers and manufacturers in the lamp industry today.  Our products are used world-wide in a multitude of applications and industries such as our UV germicidal lamps that offer patent-protected, OEM-oriented solutions.  Please contact us to learn more about our extensive selection of lamps.
