Leviton and Molex to offer integrated, modular LED solutions to lighting fixture industry

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leviton Manufacturing Co. Inc., North America’s foremost manufacturer of electrical and electronic wiring devices for OEM lighting fixture customers, and Molex Inc. have entered into a strategic alliance to deliver LED lighting solutions to manufacturers of commercial, industrial and residential lighting fixtures.

The partnership will align Molex’s Transcend Lighting Series of LED products with Leviton’s extensive distribution and sales networks, helping to drive the adoption of LED light source technology to fixture manufacturers on a global scale.

“The Transcend line of easy-to-implement, plug-and-play LED products overcomes many of the existing barriers which have prevented the widespread adoption of this key light source technology by today’s fixture manufacturers. Molex’s superior technology and efficient integration solution overcomes many of these implementation issues, and we are pleased to partner with them on this exciting new venture,” said Chris Doveala, Vice President of Leviton’s OEM business.

This new product offering enables fixture manufacturers to concentrate on their designs by allowing the seamless integration of new, high-efficacy, solid state LED technology to convert existing light fixtures in the market or to design in the new fixture production process.

These products offered exclusively through Leviton are compact, interchangeable modules that address issues such as precise heat and current management as well as superior illumination. The products are dimmable using Leviton dimmers and can connect to fixtures using Leviton GU24 base sockets.
