USA - The National Lighting Product Information Program (NLPIP) has released its latest Lighting Answers, designed to address specific questions relevant to lighting professionals, contractors, and homeowners.

Lighting Answers: LED Lighting Products for Consumers provides information about general illumination light-emitting diode (LED) products currently found on retail shelves such as power failure lights, task lights, replacement lamps, night lights, and undercabinet luminaires. NLPIP testing is now underway On some of these products, and the results will be added to this report and made available online when complete.

"The LED holds great promise for lower energy consumption and reduced maintenance," said Jeremy Snyder, manager of lighting programs at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Lighting Research Center, director of NLPIP, and author of the publication. "For years, LED products for general illumination We are largely limited to commercial and specialty products. Now we are seeing a larger number of LED products for consumers hitting the retail shelves."

For the project, NLPIP visited a variety of stores in the upstate New York region where people would typically buy light bulbs and luminaires for home improvement projects. The focus of the survey was on products readily accessible to people who shop for household and home improvement items .NLPIP did not survey any lighting showrooms or electrical distributors, nor were products available on the Internet

Flexible heaters offer good heat transfer and can conform & heat irregular surfaces that others cannot. Flexible heaters from Thermal Circuits offer many benefits including custom watt densities, thin profiles, ease of placement and low thermal mass. 

Flexible Heater


Here is a basic checklist of information needed to provide a quote. Please make sure you have indicated:

  • A part number (including revision number) for your design to ease tracking
  • Your deadline for order shipment, known as turnaround (short turnaround increases cost)
  • The quantity of boards required
  • Board thickness (.062 inches, .032 inches, .093 inches). .062 inches is standard
  • Type of board material (FR4, high-temp FR4, Rogers, Teflon, etc). FR4 is standard
  • Number of layers
  • Surface finish (SMOBC, HAL, immersion gold, etc). SMOBC and HAL are standard
  • The color for solder mask and component overlay. Green is standard
  • Copper weight on outer layer (1 oz., 2 oz., etc). 1 oz. is standard
  • Copper weight on inner layers (.5 oz., 1 oz.). Either is standard
  • The minimum trace and space widths in your design
  • Indicate your board dimensions on a mechanical layer
  • Do you want your boards to remain panelized, or supplied individually cut?

Files required for bare-board fabrication: Gerber files, drill files, IPC-356A (optional)
We look forward to serving you.
