Japanese LED lighting manufacturer CCS has acquired 100 per cent of the shares of its French competitor Effilux
CCS (1H53) returns to Vision Stuttgart with high-performance developments in core illumination technology, as well as in integration of lighting and real-time lighting data. The new OLED series flat lights are 3mm thick yet provide the brightness and uniformity required for applications like liquid level inspection and dimension measuring. The dedicated OLED controller from Gardasoft features CCS LT for lifetime intelligence data and precision control for accuracy, stability and safe overdrive.
