Linear Flat System - Also the Right Choice for Power Tracks

Power tracks are very often used in shops and retail outlets in order to implement various lighting scenarios quickly and easily. Different arrangements and individual positioning are always necessary when the presentation of the product range changes. And that happens more than just once a year. Matched with special drivers which fi t on a power track, the Linear Flat System, together with a lampholder and counterholder, forms a complete modular system for linear lighting in current power track systems. In this way, it is possible to construct a lighting system with interchangeable LED modules without any additional luminaire housings. Read more »

BJB SMD Terminal Blocks: The Best Connection for all Requirements

SMD-compatible PCB terminal blocks are increasingly being used for electrical power supply to LED boards. This is because they are easy to handle and provide a permanent, secure connection to the control gear. A decisive factor for light quality is a design which is as flat as possible, which will enable an even light distribution and will avoid unwelcome shadowing. However, there are also technical requirements dictated by the relevant luminaire design. Examples are rear-entry wiring or the use of fine-stranded conductors. In order to cover every conceivable variation, BJB, the global market leader for lighting and luminaire components, has developed a series of three different SMD terminal blocks: SMD Mini, SMD Mini-Flex and the SMD push-through terminal block for rear-entry wiring.
