Finish Line Product Development Services successfully demonstrates 87% efficiency with a light engine that contains no electrolytic capacitors. Traditional LED light engines have used a switching regulator to control the current running through the LEDs. These regulators need large capacitors (electrolytic) in order to maintain stability. This electrolytic capacitor has a lifespan much shorter than the LED and thus limiting the long life feature of converting traditional lighting systems to LEDs. Finish Line invented, designed, built and tested a novel circuit that controls the current without the need for these large capacitors – even at high or low line voltage. This invention is set to enable the true potential of LED lighting.
