Light-Based Technologies Inc.
Light-Based Technologies (LBT), based in Vancouver, was formed in 2004 to explore the unique benefits that controlled current of LEDs could bring to the burgeoning sold-state lighting industry. Years of research and experimentation have led to the development of the current suite of LED controllers that are offered. Using a truly novel, linear approach, LBT offers the simplest and most effective solution for multi-phase control of LED light sources. This technology can potentially produce whatever level of resolution is required for an unlimited number of outputs. Because of the linear nature of the control process, LBT can produce seamless transitions between output levels from 0-100% and every level in between. This is very powerful when applied to white light, in the form of dimming or CCT correction, or RGB colour control. LBT's technology is simple, which means it can open up new design options or reduce the power consumed by existing applications.
