FlexRad Accelerates Fixture Development

MetroSpec’s design team starts with this premise: Enable the customer to win business profitably and we will benefit together. Their partnered efforts work toward a well-designed light source approach that enables consolidated inventory while maintaining the versatility for custom requests.

“Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.”
– Will Rogers.

This is exactly why you need to partner with MetroSpec Technology® in your new LED light fixture development.  MetroSpec knows lighting, and specializes in architectural, aesthetic commercial, and function based lighting applications.  MetroSpec works with its customers to proactively keep moving toward quicker, more efficient, more cost effective designs.  FlexRad® by MetroSpec is the most versatile, reliable, and easiest to use LED light source technology available in the market.  

A full range of whites from 1800K to 6500K, 8 static colors, RGB, and RGBW are available.  CRIs include 80, 90, 95, and 99, as well as a full HCL range of options.  MetroSpec has supported linear fixtures as small as 1 inch and as large as 16 feet from a single design.  Customers make small and giant rings, drums, continuous tracks, large and small cylinders, and novel structures of every kind.

By quickly combining features and performance options into a single specification, we are able to create a general solution for many types of fixtures that is unique for the customer. One design, dozens of uses.”

2-Week Development Cycles
A customized FlexRad design - from concept specification to pilot samples in-hand - takes less than 2 weeks.  “We help our customers win new custom projects in record time”, said Todd Crandell, President and CEO.  “FlexRad reduces design time.  Each cycle starts as MetroSpec samples a variety of light source concepts for evaluation and testing. By quickly combining features and performance options into a single specification, we are able to create a general solution for many types of fixtures that is unique for the customer. One design, dozens of uses.”  

Power if Needed
FlexRad is not output or power limited.  It supports up to 5x the power of conventional flex tapes, 3x the power of FR4 boards, and matches metal clad solutions at a fraction of the price. But it can be dimmed to a twinkle. Why use two tapes to fill one channel, or dozens of inter-wired boards to fill one fixture with light?  FlexRad lets you reduce materials and eliminate most of the wiring.

Manufacturing Capacity 
MetroSpec manufactures FlexRad in a wide range of quantities - from dozens of feet to hundreds of miles. It is always reliable and consistent.  Lead times are short and extraordinarily dependable.  During the Pandemic, MetroSpec did not miss a promised delivery date.

FlexRad allows you to offer and easily manage more products and options.”

FlexRad Adds Value
“FlexRad adds value in many ways” said Vic Holec, General Manager and Founder. “It cuts engineering work. It shortens product scale ups. It cuts time on the manufacturing floor. It cleans up wiring and board mounting messes - changing the aesthetics and appearance of fixtures - inside and out. FlexRad allows you to offer and easily manage more products and options.”

First-to-Market Innovations
FlexRad can be ordered in a variety of forms that have all been market firsts.  Cut2Fit® linear reels (up to hundreds of feet long) can easily be cut to support almost any fixture length and support even the highest intensity.  Hashtag® area LED arrays uniformly space LEDs to fill drums and various 2D shapes without material waste and with no interconnect wiring. FacetCore projects light along a 360 degree radial source with uniformity and intensity filling cylinders, globes, and a variety of pendants.  Linear360® curves in plane as well as out of plane, and is the perfect solution for rings, raceways, and curved slots.  

Reliability and Support
MetroSpec is quickly approaching 4,000 miles installed in the field.  It warranties all of its light sources for a minimum of 7 years and is immediately responsive to any problem or difficulty.  Training is provided covering a variety of subjects, and immediate, knowledgeable support.  MetroSpec takes the concept of partnership to another level by reviewing designs and manufacturing techniques, and providing feedback for improvement.
