their incorporation of LED into their design of contemporary pendants

An interesting offering, no doubt, but still missing many features from the Panasonic plasma line, and there are no new LED high bay light models to respond to the behemoths offered by the competition.

 Works with Soraa is a program that will thrive with partnership and collaboration from lighting manufacturers and distributors within the industry. Littman Bros has promoted one of Soraa's launch partners Tech Lighting for over 20 years. Most recently Littman advocates their incorporation of LED into their design of contemporary pendants and other fixtures.

Soraa was founded in 2008 by a team of pioneering professors, it is the world’s leading developer of novel LED bulbs that are built from pure gallium nitride substrates, solid-state lighting technology; according to soraa.com, and the company’s lamps are known to have “superior color rendering and beam characteristics compared to lamps using LEDs created from non-native substrates.”

In a press release from Soraa, it was said that the new Works with Soraa fixture program was created to encourage strong alliances between Soraa and fixture manufacturers, “so fixture and lamp combinations can be rapidly validated for mechanical, thermal and electrical compatibility.” This will hopefully resolve the sometimes opposing relationship between LED lamps and fixtures designed for traditional light sources – incandescent, halogen or fluorescent.

Eric Kim, CEO of Soraa said that this fixture validation program was designed to enable customer-ready fixture-lamp solutions for the LED market and that it is truly a valuable program that will have positive results.
