Way
back in 2003 we introduced the Littlite LED gooseneck task light series. Those first-generation
products used six (!) white LED chips to produce a rather modest light output with
a cool, blue color temperature (6000K). It was a start.
Since most Littlite users were accustomed to the performance of our Q5 lamp,
that became the initial benchmark for our LED lights in terms of output and
color temperature. “More light” and “warmer color” were the most common requests
from our customers.
Thanks to improvements in LED technology over the years we’ve been able to make
dramatic improvements in our LED products without increasing cost and, in some
cases, actually lowering the cost of our LED lights. Additionally, LED
technology has enabled us to manufacture a wide range of specialized task
lights including Ultra Violet, Night Vision Green and Infrared task lights.
Our current Standard Gen V LED lights outperform the Q5 in output (398 LUX vs.
235 Lux) and produce a warm white light output (4000K) while our ANSER products
blast out 795 Lux with a toasty 3100K color temp.
The we started getting requests for cooler light temperatures.
And that got us thinking about a Littlite that would satisfy different customer
requirements in a single lamp which brings us to our new LED-3 and LED-3-UV products.
The Littlite LED-3 enables the user to select between three discrete light
outputs: Warm (3000K) Daylight (5000K) and Cool (6500K). Littlite LED-3-UV
products are selectable between White, Red and UV outputs. Both are available
in all of our usual lampset configurations including IS/Installation and Automotive
products.
One lamp, three lights. Goldilocks would approve.
