“Plessey's GaN-on-Si [gallium nitride on silicon] technology looks set to cause major disruption in the LED lighting market,” comments Solid State Supplies’ managing director John Macmichael. “Our in-house lighting division is already geared up to support lighting and luminaire designers with these new LEDs,” he adds.

“Plessey is very pleased to join forces with a distributor that has a focused lighting division already up and running, helping the significant number of lighting and luminaire makers in the UK,” says Plessey’s regional sales director David Owen. “Solid State Supplies has a strong portfolio of products to support the lighting eco system, which is now enhanced by the addition of the Plessey GaN-on-Si LED product range. This will accelerate the time to market for Plessey LEDs in this region.”

Plessey’s MaGIC (Manufactured on GaN-on-Si I/C) high-brightness LED (HB-LED) technology has won awards for its ability to cut the cost of LED lighting by using standard silicon manufacturing techniques.
