ABOUT OUR LIGHTING OFFERINGS
From solid state to Xenon, Excelitas' broad portfolio of customized lighting offerings serves diverse markets including medical and dental lighting, analytical instrumentation, safety lighting, defense lighting, space lighting, entertainment lighting, and a variety of industrial applications.
LEDs are driving change in many different industries and Excelitas is a leader in Custom LED Solutions for specialty applications. While all LED designs have energy-efficiency in common, every solid state lighting application is different and each OEM customer has unique requirements. Whether the goal is reducing power consumption, reducing heat output, meeting tight candela requirements, long life, high CRI, adhering to tough regulatory requirements—or all of these objectives—Excelitas delivers the appropriate Custom LED Solution.
You may have come to know us through our pulsed Xenon and short arc Xenon capabilities since we first commercialized the technology in the 1940s for "freeze motion" applications. Today, Excelitas is the largest Xenon flash lamp supplier in the world. Our trusted Cermax® Xenon brand is providing perfect, bright white light to surgical suites across the world.
ABOUT OUR DETECTION OFFERINGS
A leader in infrared sensing, we have gained worldwide recognition for the design and production of high-performance pyroelectric detectors, thermopile detectors and sensor modules which contribute to safeguarding homes, conserving energy, and providing comfort. Excelitas' thermopile and pyroelectric infrared detectors are used for applications as diverse as digital thermometers, motion sensors, and indoor climate control systems (HVAC). The company has strong brand names in the thermal infrared detection space including its DigiPyro® Family and its new DigiPile® Family.
In addition to our IR sensors for motion and presence detection, Excelitas' safety and security offerings include solutions for smoke detection, X-ray safety scanning, and military laser warning receivers.
Excelitas' low light level detection solutions—dubbed L3D—leverages the company's growing range of photon detection technologies and products including avalanche photodiodes (APDs), single photon counting modules (SPCMs), and silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), ideally suited to applications including confocal microscopy, fluorescence and luminescence, molecular/PET imaging, particle sizing, quantum cryptography, and research and scientific instrumentation.
