Our LED Evolution.

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.     

FDB (Flat Display Bracket) Accessory

If you’re dealing with a tight work space and no place to put a much needed work light, we might have just the solution for you if you are also parking in front of a typical computer monitor.

Our FDB bracket is designed to piggyback on a standard FDMI/VESA mount. Our bracket accommodates both the 100mm and 75mm hole patterns and can mount a Littlite lampset in a variety of orientations depending on where you need the light to be. . over, under or on either side of the monitor. Heck, you could even mount multiple Littlites.

Voilà!

And the FDB also works to add a light to rack rail:

DUAL ANSER LED

When we were approached to design a microscope light with two adjustable arms we immediately went to work adapting our ANSER series for this application. The results were better that even we imagined and a we knew it would be a great light for many other applications such as hobby and crafts and macro-photography. 

The two 3-Watt LED lights can be positioned to illuminate objects from two different angles eliminating shadows and the light quality and output remains consistent no matter how long the light is in use. The compact, low profile LED head is easy to position without intruding into your work space.

Sometime two heads ARE better than one!   

The LED Era

The growing acceptance of LED lights opens up a lot of new possibilities for manufacturers like Littlite. LED technology has advanced at a rapid rate enabling us to respond to some pretty specific task lighting requests including lighting compatible with night vision optics, infra-red lighting and, now, ultraviolet lighting.

Our custom UV-LED lights can be used to verify security watermarks in currency, driver’s license and other forms of I.D. Most of our UV-LED configurations also toggle between UV and a white light output enabling them to multi-task between a security check light and an ordinary task light . . . perfect for hospitality industry applications.

Littlite LED Task Lights . . . a lot of performance in a small package.

Suffer from Migraines? A Desk Light Could Help Get You Relief Today!

Do you suffer from frequent migraines at work?

Do you suffer from constant eye strain?

You could benefit from a desk light!

According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), “high contrast between light and dark areas of the computer screen, horizontal work surface, and surrounding areas can cause eye fatigue and headaches.

Possible Solution:

• For computer work, use well-distributed diffuse desk light. The advantage of diffuse lighting is that:
• There are fewer glare surfaces in the visual field.
• The contrasts created by the shape of objects tend to be softer.
• Use light, matte colors and finishes on walls and ceilings to better reflect indirect lighting and reduce dark shadows and contrast.”

Imagine working in a headache-free environment! How much more productive will you be? How much more work will get done because you can now focus on your work, rather than worrying about when your headache will subside. Our desk lights may be your best medicine!

The Migraine Action Association have conducted research that proves exposure to “low-energy light” can cause migraines. However, there’s a difference between “low energy light” and “energy saving light bulbs.” Florescent lighting and regular light bulbs are “low-energy lights” but have been known to cause migraines, so switch to LED today!

Littlite Sponsors Hartland Boy Scout Troop 381 in Annual Fundraiser

The Hartland Boys Scout Troop 381 hosted 108 golfers at Hawk Meadows Golf Course in Howell, MI, on September 27, 2015, for their 5th Annual Golf Fundraiser. Littlite LLC. was a proud sponsor of the event.  

The fundraiser was open to the public to play 18 holes, with all proceeds going to the local troop. This annual fundraiser helped raise funds for camping fees and new equipment for the boy scouts. The day was especially beautiful for late September in Michigan. Littlite, LLC. employees John Parzuchowski, Jamie Devine, Ryan Bowman and Rick Niles teamed up to represent Littlite.

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.

Thank you to all for supporting Boy Scouts and helping to build moral leaders in our youth!

Littlite Proudly Supports Boy Scouts!

The owners of Littlite, Jim and Rhonda Fackert, are avid supporters of the Boy Scouts of America, often donating to their local council. John Parzuchowski, a Littlite employee and proud boy scout father, also works to help his local community through helping the Boy Scouts. John is the Charter Organization Representative for Hartland Boy Scout Troop 381.

His son Jack is in his final stages as an Eagle Scout candidate. For his final Eagle Scout project, Jack designed and built a concrete launch pad for model rockets near the small airfield at Manly W. Bennett Memorial Park in Hamburg Township, where the Hamburg Flyers Radio Control Club meets to fly model airplanes.

"It is supposed to be monitored by the club for safety and insurance, even though it's on township-owned land," Parzuchowski said. Safety is a major concern, so Jack needed to get approval from Hamburg Flyers President Eugene Doncea and present the idea to township officials for questions and answers.

John says, "Jim and Rhonda's support through Littlite LLC. has helped me understand the true value of Corporate Stewardship.  We may be a small business, but we help the community in large ways. Today I am very proud!"
