Innovation Technology (I&T) is offering Light by Wire lighting strips for vehicle lighting, commercial signage, task lighting, architectural, and appliance lighting applications. This compact, high-efficiency strip lighting concept is based on proprietary I&T extruded flat flexible cable (FFCe) technology with directly attached LEDs.

“Light by Wire flat cable lighting strips can be produced to meet very specific application needs at low cost,” said Rich Daykin, general manager, I&T North America. “This technology integrates the lighting source with power distribution, and thereby eliminates need for PCBs and cable-to-board interconnects. FFCe cables with flat copper conductors can be selected from TPU, PVC, or PBT substrate material, depending on application requirements. Direct LED attachment results in a very low profile, and efficient, economical manufacturing.”

Light by Wire and other proprietary flat cable products are produced by Innovation Technology in collaboration with 3M. E-mail Rich Daykin at richdaykin@mmm.com for more information.
